Fast and "lossless" propagation of relativistic electrons along magnetized non-thermal filaments in galaxy clusters and the Galactic Center region
Eugene Churazov, Lawrence Rudnick, Ildar Khabibullin +3
Relativistic leptons in galaxy clusters lose their energy via radiation (synchrotron and inverse Compton losses) and interactions with the ambient plasma. At z~0, pure radiative lo…
Indirect Measurements of Gas Velocities in Galaxy Clusters: Effects of Ellipticity and Cluster Dynamic State
Irina Zhuravleva, Mandy C. Chen, Eugene Churazov +3
While awaiting direct velocity measurement of gas motions in the hot intracluster medium, we rely on indirect probes, including gas perturbations in galaxy clusters. Using a sample…
Bubble-driven Gas Uplift in Galaxy Clusters and its Velocity Features
Congyao Zhang, Irina Zhuravleva, Marie-Lou Gendron-Marsolais +3
Buoyant bubbles of relativistic plasma are essential for active galactic nucleus feedback in galaxy clusters, stirring and heating the intracluster medium (ICM). Observations sugge…
Suppressed effective viscosity in the bulk intergalactic plasma
I. Zhuravleva, E. Churazov, A. A. Schekochihin +3
Transport properties, such as viscosity and thermal conduction, of the hot intergalactic plasma in clusters of galaxies, are largely unknown. While for laboratory plasmas these cha…
Physics of cosmic plasmas from high angular resolution X-ray imaging of galaxy clusters
Maxim Markevitch, Esra Bulbul, Eugene Churazov +15
Galaxy clusters are massive dark matter-dominated systems filled with X-ray emitting, optically thin plasma. Their large size and relative simplicity (at least as astrophysical obj…
[Plasma 2020 Decadal] The Material Properties of Weakly Collisional, High-Beta Plasmas
M. W. Kunz, J. Squire, S. A. Balbus +14
This white paper, submitted for the Plasma 2020 Decadal Survey, concerns the physics of weakly collisional, high-beta plasmas -- plasmas in which the thermal pressure dominates ove…
