Rates of tidal disruption events from constrained cosmological simulations of the local Universe: population properties and implications for transient surveys
Julian S. Sommer, Ildar Khabibullin, Klaus Dolag +4
(abridged) Motivated by upcoming surveys like LSST, we estimate tidal disruption event (TDE) rates using the constrained cosmological Simulation of the LOcal Web (SLOW) to test the…
Constraining Effective Viscosity in the Intracluster Medium via the Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect -- Predictions from the SLOW Constrained Coma Cluster Simulations
Frederick Groth, Yuan Li, Joseph Golec +4
We study the effect of viscosity on the Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal in a simulated constrained Coma cluster analog. We aim to provide alternative constraints on the amount of viscosit…
Simulating the LOcal Web (SLOW): VII. Intergalactic magnetic field models for multi-messenger applications
Johannes Stoiber, Klaus Dolag, Francesca Capel +4
Context. The propagation of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and ultra-high-energy gamma-rays remains an open question in astroparticle physics, with the intergalactic magnet…
Non-spherical Cows: Introducing the Asphericity Parameter as a Measure of Accretion Geometry
Benjamin A. Seidel, Rhea-Silvia Remus, Lucas C. Kimmig +2
The outer regions of galactic halos represent the bridge connecting internal processes within the galaxy to the larger surrounding cosmic web. The gas in this bridge region is shap…
Galaxy Luminosity Function of the Coma Cluster from Deep Wendelstein Imaging Data
Raphael Zöller, Matthias Kluge, Ralf Bender +9
We derive the band galaxy luminosity function (GLF) of quenched resolved galaxies in the Coma cluster from a deep-imaging survey with around the c…
The Quiescent Sloshing Core of Abell 496 with XRISM
Angie Veronica, Thomas H. Reiprich, Naomi Ota +9
Gas motions provide insight into the dynamical history and physical processes within galaxy clusters. We investigate the kinematics of the ICM in the core of A496, a nearby, X-ray…
