Supernova explosions of massive stars and cosmic rays

P. L. Biermann, J. Becker Tjus, W. de Boer +11

Most cosmic ray particles observed derive from the explosions of massive stars, which commonly produce stellar black holes in their supernova explosions. When two such black holes…

Detection of microgauss coherent magnetic fields in a galaxy five billion years ago

S. A. Mao, C. Carilli, B. M. Gaensler +6

Magnetic fields play a pivotal role in the physics of interstellar medium in galaxies, but there are few observational constraints on how they evolve across cosmic time. Spatially…

The Cosmic Large-Scale Structure in X-rays (CLASSIX) Cluster Survey I: Probing galaxy cluster magnetic fields with line of sight rotation measures

Hans Boehringer, Gayoung Chon, Philipp P. Kronberg

To search for a signature of an intracluster magnetic field, we compare measurements of Faraday rotation of polarised extragalactic radio sources in the line of sight of galaxy clu…

Extragalactic circuits, transmission lines, and CR particle acceleration

Philipp P. Kronberg, Richard V. E. Lovelace

A non-negligible fraction of a Supermassive Black Hole's (SMBH) rest mass energy gets transported into extragalactic space by a remarkable process in jets which are incompletely un…

Filaments in the southern giant lobe of Centaurus A: constraints on nature and origin from modelling and GMRT observations

Sarka Wykes, Huib T. Intema, Martin J. Hardcastle +8

We present results from imaging of the radio filaments in the southern giant lobe of Centaurus A using data from GMRT observations at 325 and 235 MHz, and outcomes from filament mo…

Strong magnetic fields and large rotation measures in protogalaxies by supernova seeding

Alexander M. Beck, Klaus Dolag, Harald Lesch +1

We present a model for the seeding and evolution of magnetic fields in protogalaxies. Supernova (SN) explosions during the assembly of a protogalaxy provide magnetic seed fields, w…
