Metagalactic Ultraviolet Flux from Cosmic Structure Formation
F. Miniati
The contribution to the ultraviolet background (UVB) from thermal emission due to gas shock heated during cosmic structure formation is assessed with an updated version of Press-Sc…
Non-thermal particles in the intergalactic and intracluster medium
F. Miniati
I present a review of nonthermal processes in the large scale structure of the universe. After examining the properties of cosmological shock waves and their role as particle accel…
Signatures of Magnetized Large Scale Structure in Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
Guenter Sigl, Francesco Miniati, Torsten Ensslin
We investigate the impact of a structured universe in the multi-pole moments, auto-correlation function, and cluster statistics of cosmic rays above 10^19 eV. We compare structured…
The Luminosity Function of Cluster Radio Relics
M. Bruggen, T. A. Ensslin, F. Miniati
In this paper we compute the luminosity function of radio relics. In our calculation we include only those relics that are produced by the compression of former radio cocoons. This…
Cosmic Ray Acceleration by Stellar Associations? The Case of Cygnus OB2
Yousaf Butt, Paula Benaglia, Jorge Combi +10
The origins of all extra-solar cosmic rays -- both the ultra high-energy and lower energy Galactic variety -- remain unclear. It has been argued that the large scale shocks and tur…
Investigating Galaxy Clusters through Gamma-ray Emission
Francesco Miniati
We address the role of gamma-ray astronomy in the investigation of nonthermal processes in the large scale structure of the universe. Based on EGRET upper limits on nearby galaxy c…
