Characterizing the Uncertainty in Cluster Magnetic Fields derived from Rotation Measures
Andrew Johnson, Lawrence Rudnick, Thomas Jones +2
Magnetic fields play vital roles in intracluster media (ICMs), but estimating their strengths and distributions from observations is a major challenge. Faraday rotation measures (R…
Simulated Interactions Between Radio Galaxies and Cluster Shocks -- 2: Jet Axes Orthogonal to Shock Normals
Chris Nolting, T. W. Jones, Brian O'Neill +1
We report a 3D MHD simulation study of the interactions between radio galaxies and galaxy-cluster-media shocks in which the incident shock normals are orthogonal to the bipolar AGN…
Interactions Between Radio Galaxies and Cluster Shocks - 1: Jet Axes Aligned with Shock Normals
Chris Nolting, T. W. Jones, Brian O'Neill +1
We report from a study utilizing 3D MHD simulations, including cosmic-ray electrons, of the interactions between radio galaxies (RGs) and dynamically active ICMs. Here we consider…
Using Collisions of AGN Outflows with ICM Shocks as Dynamical Probes
T. W. Jones, Chris Nolting, B. J. O'Neill +1
In this paper we lay out a simple set of relationships connecting the dynamics of fast plasma jets to the dynamical state of their ambient media. The objective is to provide a tool…
Cosmic ray acceleration at perpendicular shocks in supernova remnants
Gilles Ferrand, Rebecca J. Danos, Andreas Shalchi +3
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to accelerate particles up to high energies through the mechanism of diffusive shock acceleration (DSA). Except for direct plasma simulations…
Testing Observational Techniques with 3D MHD Jets in Clusters
Peter J. Mendygral, Sean M. O'Neill, Tom W. Jones
Observations of X-ray cavities formed by powerful jets from AGN in galaxy cluster cores are commonly used to estimate the mechanical luminosity of these sources. We test the reliab…
