Buoyant radio plasma in clusters of galaxies
M. Brüggen, C. R. Kaiser
Radio galaxies are known to inflate lobes of hot relativistic plasmas into the intergalactic medium. Here we present hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical simulations of these h…
Evolution of Buoyant Bubbles in M87
E. Churazov, M. Brüggen, C. R. Kaiser +2
The morphology of the X-ray and radio emitting features in the central 50 kpc region around the galaxy M87 strongly suggests that buoyant bubbles of cosmic rays (inflated by…
The environments and ages of extragalactic radio sources inferred from multi-frequency radio maps
Christian R. Kaiser
A 3-dimensional model of the synchrotron emissivity of the cocoons of powerful extragalactic radio sources of type FRII is constructed. Bulk backflow and energy losses of the relat…
Internal shock model for Microquasars
Christian R. Kaiser, Rashid Sunyaev, Henk C. Spruit
We present a model for the radio outbursts of microquasars based on the assumption of quasi-continuous jet ejection. The jets are `lit up' by shock fronts traveling along the jets…
Comptonization of the Cosmic Microwave Background by Relativistic Plasma
Torsten A. Ensslin, Christian R. Kaiser
(Abridged) We investigate the spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) caused by relativistic plasma. Within the Thomson regime, an exact analytic expression fo…
