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…
Cosmic ray feedback in hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy and galaxy cluster formation
Christoph Pfrommer, Volker Springel, Martin Jubelgas +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…
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…
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…
