Magnetic Fields and Cosmic Rays in Galaxy Cluster Cooling Flows
Cooling flows are regions where the importance of non-thermal intracluster medium components such as magnetic fields and cosmic rays may be strongest within a galaxy cluster. They are also regions where such components are best detectable due to the high gas density which influences Faraday rotation measurements of magnetic fields and secondary particle production in hadronic interactions of co...
متن کاملConvective cores in galactic cooling flows
We use hydrodynamic simulations with adaptive grid refinement to study the dependence of hot gas flows in X-ray luminous giant elliptical galaxies on the efficiency of heat supply to the gas. We consider a number of potential heating mechanisms including Type Ia supernovae and sporadic nuclear activity of a central supermassive black hole. As a starting point for this research we use an equilib...
متن کاملHydrodynamics and stability of galactic cooling flows
Using numerical techniques we studied the global stability of cooling flows in giant elliptical galaxies. As an initial equilibrium state we choose the hydrostatic gas recycling model (Kritsuk 1996). Non-equilibrium radiative cooling, stellar mass loss, heating by type Ia supernovae, distributed mass deposition, and thermal conductivity are included. Although the recycling model reproduces the ...
متن کاملMagnetic fields in galactic haloes
Magnetic fields on a range of scales play a large role in the ecosystems of galaxies, both in the galactic disk and in the extended layers of gas away from the plane. Observing magnetic field strength, structure and orientation is complex, and necessarily indirect. Observational data of magnetic fields in the halo of the Milky Way are scarce, and non-conclusive about the large-scale structure o...
متن کاملGalactic and Extragalactic Magnetic Fields
The strength of the total magnetic field in our Milky Way from radio Zeeman and synchrotron measurements is about 6 μG near the Sun and several mG in dense clouds, pulsar wind nebulae, and filaments near the Galactic Center. Diffuse polarized radio emission and Faraday rotation of the polarized emission from pulsars and background sources show many small-scale magnetic features, but the overall...
