Simulating cosmic rays in clusters of galaxies - I. Effects on the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and the X-ray emission
Christoph Pfrommer, Torsten A. Ensslin, Volker Springel +2
We performed high-resolution simulations of a sample of 14 galaxy clusters that span a mass range from 5 x 10^13 M_solar/h to 2 x 10^15 M_solar/h to study the effects of cosmic ray…
Magnetic Field Seeding by Galactic Winds
Serena Bertone, Corina Vogt, Torsten Ensslin
The origin of intergalactic magnetic fields is still a mystery and several scenarios have been proposed so far: among them, primordial phase transitions, structure formation shocks…
Cosmic ray feedback in hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation
Martin Jubelgas, Volker Springel, Torsten A. Ensslin +1
It is well known that cosmic rays (CRs) contribute significantly to the pressure of the interstellar medium in our own Galaxy, suggesting that they may play an important role in re…
Detecting shock waves in cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations
Christoph Pfrommer, Volker Springel, Torsten A. Ensslin +1
We develop a formalism for the identification and accurate estimation of the strength of structure formation shocks during cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations.…
Cosmic ray physics in calculations of cosmological structure formation
Torsten A. Ensslin, Christoph Pfrommer, Volker Springel +1
Cosmic rays (CRs) play a decisive role within our own Galaxy. They provide partial pressure support against gravity, they trace past energetic events such as supernovae, and they r…
Galaxy cluster merger kinematics by Rees-Sciama effect
Matteo Maturi, Torsten Ensslin, Carlos Hernandez-Monteagudo +1
We discuss how to use the Rees-Sciama (RS) effect associated with merging clusters of galaxies to measure their kinematic properties. In a previous work (Rubino-Martin et al. 2004)…
