The Effect of Anisotropic Viscosity on Cold Fronts in Galaxy Clusters
J. A. ZuHone, M. W. Kunz, M. Markevitch +2
Cold fronts -- contact discontinuities in the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters -- should be disrupted by Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instabilities due to the associated shea…

A thermally stable heating mechanism for the intracluster medium: turbulence, magnetic fields and plasma instabilities
M. W. Kunz, A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley +2
We consider the problem of self-regulated heating and cooling in galaxy clusters and the implications for cluster magnetic fields and turbulence. Viscous heating of a weakly collis…
