Rhea-RT: Dynamical impact of Central Molecular Zone conditions on the properties of the interstellar medium and stellar feedback coupling
R. G. Tress, N. Brucy, P. Girichidis +22
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is an extreme star formation environment, characterized by higher density, higher turbulence, stronger orbital shear, and stronger magnetic field s…
Simulating realistic radio morphologies of Fanaroff-Riley I jets in a self-regulating cool-core cluster
Léna Jlassi, Rainer Weinberger, Christoph Pfrommer +3
Active galactic nucleus (AGN) jets radiate radio synchrotron emission displaying a wide range of morphologies. At the same time, they provide heat to prevent cooling flows in cool-…
The diffuse gamma-ray sky of a Milky Way analogue: Local diversity and global constraints
Karin Kjellgren, Philipp Girichidis, Maria Werhahn +8
Diffuse gamma-ray emission is a key tracer of cosmic rays (CRs) in galaxies, encoding information about their transport, energetics, and interactions with the interstellar medium.…
Revisiting radio synchrotron diagnostics in star-forming galaxies
Maria Werhahn, Christoph Pfrommer, Philipp Girichidis +7
Radio continuum observations are widely used to study cosmic ray (CR) electron populations and transport processes in star-forming galaxies, but their interpretation relies on seve…
Zooming in on radio relics -- II. How relic morphology probes density fluctuations at the edge of galaxy clusters
Joseph Whittingham, Christoph Pfrommer, Maria Werhahn +2
Gas properties in the outer intracluster medium (ICM) are not well-constrained, as traditional probes lose sensitivity at Mpc distances. We show that the morphology of radio relics…
Shaping the diffuse X-ray sky: Structure, Variability and Visibility
Philipp Girichidis, Erika Rea, Ralf S. Klessen +5
The Local Bubble (LB) is a hot, low-density cavity in the solar neighborhood, inside which the Solar System is currently located. The X-ray emission from such bubbles is strongly g…
