Assessing The Starburst Contribution to the Gamma-Ray and Neutrino Backgrounds
Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert, Eli Waxman +1
If cosmic ray protons interact with gas at roughly the mean density of the interstellar medium in starburst galaxies, then pion decay in starbursts is likely to contribute signific…
The Starburst Contribution to the Extra-Galactic Gamma-Ray Background
Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert, Eli Waxman
Cosmic ray protons interacting with gas at the mean density of the interstellar medium in starburst galaxies lose energy rapidly via inelastic collisions with ambient nuclei. The r…
Relativistic MHD Winds from Rotating Neutron Stars
N. Bucciantini, Todd. A. Thompson, J. Arons +3
We solve for the time-dependent dynamics of axisymmetric, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic winds from rotating neutron stars. The mass loss rate is obtained self-consistent…
Magnetic Fields in Starburst Galaxies and The Origin of the FIR-Radio Correlation
Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert, Eli Waxman +2
We estimate minimum energy magnetic fields (B_min) for a sample of galaxies with measured gas surface densities, spanning from normal spirals to starbursts. We show that the ratio…
Red Mergers and the Assembly of Massive Elliptical Galaxies: the Fundamental Plane and its Projections
Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Chung-Pei Ma, Eliot Quataert
Several recent observations suggest that gas-poor (dissipationless) mergers of elliptical galaxies contribute significantly to the build-up of the massive end of the red sequence.…
