Cluster Radio Relics as a Tracer of Shock Waves of the Large-Scale Structure Formation
Torsten A. Ensslin, Peter L. Biermann, Ulrich Klein +1
We present evidence for the existence of shock waves caused by the formation of the large-scale structure. In some clusters of galaxies peripherally located sources of extended dif…
Frontiers of Astrophysics - Workshop Summary
Heino Falcke, Peter L. Biermann
We summarize recent results presented in the astrophysics session during a conference on ``Frontiers of Contemporary Physics''. We will discuss three main fields (High-Energy Astro…
Cosmic Structure of Magnetic Fields
Peter L. Biermann, Hyesung Kang, Joerg P. Rachen +1
The simulations of the formation of cosmological structure allows to determine the spatial inhomogeneity of cosmic magnetic fields. Such simulations, however, do not give an absolu…
The supergalactic structure and the origin of the highest energy cosmic rays
Peter L. Biermann, Hyesung Kang, Dongsu Ryu
The recent discoveries of several reliable events of high energy cosmic rays at an energy above 10^20 eV raise questions about their path through the nearby universe. The two analy…
Limits on Magnetic Fields and Relativistic Electrons in the Coma Cluster from Multifrequency Observations
Torsten A. Ensslin, Peter L. Biermann
Relativistic electrons, seen in the large diffuse radio halo of the Coma cluster of galaxies, should scatter background photons to higher energies. We calculate the inverse Compton…
Unstable waves in winds of magnetic massive stars
Henning Seemann, Peter L. Biermann
We use a luminous fast magnetic rotator model to analyze the influence of a magnetic field on the linear waves induced in the wind of a massive star by the radiative instability. W…
