The PICO-Cluster Project: presenting the galaxy cluster sample and studying magnetic field growth, Faraday rotation and Braginskii heating
Thomas Berlok, Christoph Pfrommer, Ewald Puchwein +9
Galaxy clusters constitute a microcosm of the Universe and offer a unique laboratory for studying plasma astrophysics, encompassing processes such as cosmic-ray acceleration and no…
Active galactic nucleus driven jet feedback in cosmologically forming cool-core galaxy clusters I: The effect of hierarchical assembly on intra-cluster medium properties
Rainer Weinberger, Lorenzo Maria Perrone, Christoph Pfrommer +7
The atmospheres of cool-core galaxy clusters are excellent probes of astrophysical plasmas. However, how the interplay between assembly and active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback l…
Environment matters: stronger magnetic fields in satellite galaxies
Maria Werhahn, Rüdiger Pakmor, Rebekka Bieri +3
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe and an important component of the interstellar medium. It is crucial to accurately model and understand their properties in different…
Auriga Superstars: Improving the resolution and fidelity of stellar dynamics in cosmological galaxy simulations
Ruediger Pakmor, Francesca Fragkoudi, Robert J. J. Grand +7
Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations have become an indispensable tool to understand galaxies. However, computational constraints still severely limit their numerical resolution…
The role of magnetic fields in ram pressure stripping of satellite galaxies in the circumgalactic medium around massive galaxies
Thomas A. Rintoul, Freeke van de Voort, Andrew T. Hannington +4
The presence of magnetic fields in galaxies and their haloes could have important consequences for satellite galaxies moving through the magnetised circumgalactic medium (CGM) of t…
Quantifying the intrinsic variability due to randomness of the Auriga galaxy formation model
Ruediger Pakmor, Rebekka Bieri, Francesca Fragkoudi +6
Numerical simulations have become an indispensable tool in astrophysics. To interpret their results, it is critical to understand their intrinsic variability, that is, how much the…
