Iterative mean-field approach to the spherical collapse of dark matter halos
Xun Shi
Gravitational collapse of dark matter overdensities leads to the formation of dark matter halos which embed galaxies and galaxy clusters. An intriguing feature of dark matter halos…
Morphology of solar system scale plasma lenses in the interstellar medium: a test from pulsar scintillation parabolic arcs
Xun Shi
Scintillation spectra of some pulsars have suggested the existence of AU scale density structures in the ionized interstellar medium, whose astrophysical correspondence…
Plasma microlensing dynamic spectrum probing fine structures in the ionized interstellar medium
Xun Shi, Zhu Xu
Gravitational microlensing has become a mature technique for discovering small gravitational lenses in the Universe which are otherwise beyond our detection limits. Similarly, plas…
Molecular contrails -- triggered contraction by passages of massive objects through molecular clouds
Guang-Xing Li, Xun Shi
We study the effects of passages of compact objects such as stars, star clusters, and black holes through molecular clouds, and propose that the gravitational interaction between t…
Dynamical heating of the X-ray emitting intracluster medium: the roles of merger shocks and turbulence dissipation
Xun Shi, Daisuke Nagai, Han Aung +1
The diffuse plasma inside clusters of galaxies has X-ray emitting temperatures of a few keV. The physical mechanisms that heat this intracluster medium (ICM) to such temperatures i…
Unveiling the Galaxy Cluster - Cosmic Web Connection with X-ray observations in the Next Decade
Stephen A. Walker, Daisuke Nagai, A. Simionescu +35
In recent years, the outskirts of galaxy clusters have emerged as one of the new frontiers and unique laboratories for studying the growth of large scale structure in the universe.…
