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…
