XMM-Newton Witness of M86 X-ray Metamorphosis
A. Finoguenov, W. Pietsch, B. Aschenbach +1
The environmental influence of cluster media on its member galaxies, known as Butcher--Oemler effect, has recently been subject to revision due to numerous observations of strong m…
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…
Ultraviolet Background Radiation from Cosmic Structure Formation
Francesco Miniati, Andrea Ferrara, Simon D. M. White +1
We calculate the contribution to the ultraviolet background (UVB) from thermal emission from gas shock heated by cosmic structure formation. Our main calculation is based on an upd…
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…
Numerical Modeling of Gamma Radiation from Galaxy Clusters
Francesco Miniati
We investigate the spatial and spectral properties of non-thermal emission from clusters of galaxies at gamma-ray energies between 10 keV and 10 TeV due to inverse-Compton (IC) emi…
Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays in a Structured and Magnetized Universe
Guenter Sigl, Francesco Miniati, Torsten Ensslin
We simulate propagation of cosmic ray nucleons above 10^{19} eV in scenarios where both the source distribution and magnetic fields within about 50 Mpc from us are obtained from an…
CHANDRA/VLA Follow-up of TeV J2032+4131, the Only Unidentified TeV Gamma-ray Source
Yousaf Butt, Paula Benaglia, Jorge Combi +10
The HEGRA Cherenkov telescope array group recently reported a steady and extended unidentified TeV gamma-ray source lying at the outskirts of Cygnus OB2. This is the most massive s…
