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…
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…
Generation of Internal Waves by Buoyant Bubbles in Galaxy Clusters and Heating of Intracluster Medium
Congyao Zhang, Eugene Churazov, Alexander A. Schekochihin
Buoyant bubbles of relativistic plasma in cluster cores plausibly play a key role in conveying the energy from a supermassive black hole to the intracluster medium (ICM) - the proc…
Polarization of Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal due to electron pressure anisotropy in galaxy clusters
I. Khabibullin, S. Komarov, E. Churazov +1
We describe polarization of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect associated with electron pressure anisotropy likely present in the intracluster medium (ICM). The ICM is an astrophys…
