ACES: The Magnetic Field in Large Filaments in the Galactic Center

Dylan M. Paré, Zi-Xuan Feng, Yue Hu +33

The Galactic Center (GC) is an extreme region of the Milky Way that is host to a complex set of thermal and non-thermal structures. In particular, the GC contains high-density gas…

Mitigating numerical dissipation in simulations of subsonic turbulent flows

James Watt, Christoph Federrath, Claudius Birke +1

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of subsonic (Mach number~) turbulence are crucial to our understanding of several processes including oceanic and atmospheric flows, the a…

Conservation of magnetic-helicity fluctuations due to spatial decorrelation of fluxes in decaying MHD turbulence

Justin Kin Jun Hew, David N. Hosking, Christoph Federrath +2

Hosking & Schekochihin (2021, Phys. Rev. X 11, 041005) have proposed that statistically isotropic decaying MHD turbulence without net magnetic helicity conserves the mean square fl…

Statistical properties of compressible isothermal turbulence from sub- to supersonic conditions

F. Thiesset, C. Federrath

This paper investigates the statistical properties of isothermal turbulence in both the subsonic and supersonic regimes. The focus is on the influence of the Mach number () and…

Understanding gas mixing in the circumgalactic medium

Hilay Shah, Freeke van de Voort, Amit Seta +1

We study gas mixing in a simulated Milky Way-mass galaxy's circumgalactic medium (CGM) using cosmological `zoom-in' simulations. We insert tracer dyes in the CGM with different gas…

The spectrum of magnetized turbulence in the interstellar medium

James R. Beattie, Christoph Federrath, Ralf S. Klessen +2

The interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy is magnetized, compressible and turbulent, influencing many key ISM properties, like star formation, cosmic ray transport, and metal and…

A comparison of the turbulent dynamo in weakly-collisional and collisional plasmas: from subsonic to supersonic turbulence

Radhika Achikanath Chirakkara, Christoph Federrath, Amit Seta

Weakly-collisional plasmas, such as the solar wind or the intra-cluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters, evolve in the presence of dynamically strong magnetic fields. The turbulent…

So long Kolmogorov: the forward and backward turbulence cascades in a supernovae-driven, multiphase interstellar medium

James R. Beattie, Anne Noer Kolborg, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +1

The interstellar medium (ISM) of disk galaxies is turbulent, and yet the fundamental nature of ISM turbulence, the energy cascade, is not understood in detail. In this study, we us…
