Molecular Gas Along a Bright H-alpha Filament in 2A 0335+096 Revealed by ALMA
A. N. Vantyghem, B. R. McNamara, H. R. Russell +17
We present ALMA CO(1-0) and CO(3-2) observations of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the 2A 0335+096 galaxy cluster (z = 0.0346). The total molecular gas mass of (1.13+/-0.15)…
ALMA observations of cold molecular gas filaments trailing rising radio bubbles in PKS0745-191
H. R. Russell, B. R. McNamara, A. C. Fabian +16
We present ALMA observations of the CO(1-0) and CO(3-2) line emission tracing filaments of cold molecular gas in the central galaxy of the cluster PKS0745-191. The total molecular…
The relation between gas density and velocity power spectra in galaxy clusters: qualitative treatment and cosmological simulations
I. Zhuravleva, E. Churazov, A. A. Schekochihin +6
We address the problem of evaluating the power spectrum of the velocity field of the ICM using only information on the plasma density fluctuations, which can be measured today by C…
Acceleration of Relativistic Electrons by MHD Turbulence: Implications for Non-thermal Emission from Black Hole Accretion Disks
Jacob W. Lynn, Eliot Quataert, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +1
We use analytic estimates and numerical simulations of test particles interacting with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence to show that subsonic MHD turbulence produces efficient…
The Efficiency of Second-Order Fermi Acceleration by Weakly Compressible MHD Turbulence
Jacob W. Lynn, Eliot Quataert, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +1
We investigate the effects of pitch-angle scattering on the efficiency of particle heating and acceleration by MHD turbulence using phenomenological estimates and simulations of no…
What Sets Temperature Gradients in Galaxy Clusters? Implications for non-thermal pressure support and mass-observable scaling relations
Michael McCourt, Eliot Quataert, Ian J. Parrish
We present a spherically symmetric model for the origin and evolution of the temperature profiles in the hot plasma filling galaxy groups and clusters. We find that the gas in clus…
