Jet Acceleration by Tangled Magnetic Fields
We explore the possibility that extragalactic radio jets might be accelerated by highly disorganized magnetic fields that are strong enough to dominate the dynamics until the terminal Lorentz factor is reached. Following the twin-exhaust model by Blandford & Rees (1974), the collimation under this scenario is provided by the stratified thermal pressure from an external medium. The acceleration ...
متن کاملMicrowave Background Signals from Tangled Magnetic Fields
An inhomogeneous cosmological magnetic field will create Alfvén-wave modes that induce a small rotational velocity perturbation on the last scattering surface of the microwave background radiation. The Alfvén-wave mode survives Silk damping on much smaller scales than the compressional modes. This, in combination with its rotational nature, ensures that there will be no sharp cut-off in anisotr...
متن کاملImpact of tangled magnetic fields on AGN-blown bubbles
There is growing consensus that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is the main mechanism responsible for stopping cooling flows in clusters of galaxies. AGN are known to inflate buoyant bubbles that supply mechanical power to the intracluster gas (ICM). High Reynolds number hydrodynamical simulations show that such bubbles get entirely disrupted within 100 Myr, as they rise in cluster a...
متن کاملCosmic microwave background polarization signals from tangled magnetic fields.
Tangled, primordial cosmic magnetic fields create small rotational velocity perturbations on the last scattering surface of the cosmic microwave background radiation. For fields which redshift to a present value of B0 = 3 x 10(-9) G, these vector modes are shown to generate polarization anisotropies of order 0.1-4 microK on small angular scales (500<l<2000), assuming delta function or a power l...
متن کاملOn the thermal conduction in tangled magnetic fields in clusters of galaxies
Thermal conduction in tangled magnetic fields is reduced because heat conducting electrons must travel along the field lines longer distances between hot and cold regions of space than if there were no fields. We consider the case when the tangled magnetic field has a weak homogeneous component. We examine two simple models for temperature in clusters of galaxies: a time-independent model and a...
