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…

The Effects of Anisotropic Viscosity on Turbulence and Heat Transport in the Intracluster Medium
Ian J. Parrish, Michael McCourt, Eliot Quataert +1
In the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters, heat and momentum are transported almost entirely along (but not across) magnetic field lines. We perform the first fully self-…
