Exploring the magnetized cosmic web through low frequency radio emission
N. Battaglia, C. Pfrommer, J. L. Sievers +2
Recent improvements in the capabilities of low frequency radio telescopes provide a unique opportunity to study thermal and non-thermal properties of the cosmic web. We argue that…
Simulations of cosmic ray feedback by AGN in galaxy clusters
D. Sijacki, C. Pfrommer, V. Springel +1
We investigate a numerical model for AGN feedback where for the first time a relativistic particle population in AGN-inflated bubbles is followed within a full cosmological context…
Draping of Cluster Magnetic Fields over Bullets and Bubbles -- Morphology and Dynamic Effects
L. J. Dursi, C. Pfrommer
High-resolution X-ray observations have revealed cavities and `cold fronts' with sharp edges in temperature, density, and metallicity within galaxy clusters. Their presence poses a…
Simulating cosmic rays in clusters of galaxies - II. A unified scheme for radio halos and relics with predictions of the gamma-ray emission
Christoph Pfrommer, Torsten A. Ensslin, Volker Springel
The thermal plasma of galaxy clusters lost most of its information on how structure formation proceeded as a result of dissipative processes. In contrast, non-equilibrium distribut…
Simulating cosmic rays in clusters of galaxies - III. Non-thermal scaling relations and comparison to observations
Christoph Pfrommer
Complementary views of galaxy clusters in the radio synchrotron, hard X-ray inverse Compton, and high-energy gamma-ray regimes are critical in calibrating them as high-precision co…
Cosmological structure formation shocks and cosmic rays in hydrodynamical simulations
Christoph Pfrommer, Volker Springel, Torsten A. Ensslin +1
Cosmological shock waves during structure formation not only play a decisive role for the thermalization of gas in virializing structures but also for the acceleration of relativis…
