Shocked Narrow-Angle Tail Radio Galaxies: Simulations and Emissions
Brian J. O'Neill, T. W. Jones, Chris Nolting +1
We present a numerical study of the interactions between the elongated AGN outflows representing an evolved, narrow-angle tail (NAT) radio galaxy and planar, transverse ICM shock f…
Simulated Interactions Between Radio Galaxies and Cluster Shocks -- 2: Jet Axes Orthogonal to Shock Normals
Chris Nolting, T. W. Jones, Brian O'Neill +1
We report a 3D MHD simulation study of the interactions between radio galaxies and galaxy-cluster-media shocks in which the incident shock normals are orthogonal to the bipolar AGN…
A Fresh Look at Narrow-Angle Tail Radio Galaxy Dynamics, Evolution and Emissions
Brian J. O'Neill, T. W. Jones, Chris Nolting +1
We present a 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) study of narrow-angle tail (NAT) radio galaxy (RG) dynamics, including passive cosmic ray electrons. We follow evolution of a bipolar-jet…
Interactions Between Radio Galaxies and Cluster Shocks - 1: Jet Axes Aligned with Shock Normals
Chris Nolting, T. W. Jones, Brian O'Neill +1
We report from a study utilizing 3D MHD simulations, including cosmic-ray electrons, of the interactions between radio galaxies (RGs) and dynamically active ICMs. Here we consider…
WOMBAT: A Scalable and High Performance Astrophysical MHD Code
Peter Mendygral, Nick Radcliffe, Krishna Kandalla +6
We present a new code for astrophysical magneto-hydrodynamics specifically designed and optimized for high performance and scaling on modern and future supercomputers. We describe…
Using Collisions of AGN Outflows with ICM Shocks as Dynamical Probes
T. W. Jones, Chris Nolting, B. J. O'Neill +1
In this paper we lay out a simple set of relationships connecting the dynamics of fast plasma jets to the dynamical state of their ambient media. The objective is to provide a tool…
