Exploring the magnetized cosmic web through low frequency radio emission
Recent improvements in the capabilities of low frequency radio telescopes provide a unique opportunity to study thermal and non-thermal properties of the cosmic web. We argue that the diffuse, polarized emission from giant radio relics traces structure formation shock waves and illuminates the large-scale magnetic field. To show this, we model the population of shockaccelerated relativistic ele...
متن کاملImaging the Low Red - shift Cosmic Web
The first image of a Cosmic Web, Lyman Limit System has just been made in HI emission within the Local Group filament connecting M31 and M33. The corresponding HI distribution function is in very good agreement with that of the QSO absorption lines, confirming the 30-fold increase in surface area expected between 10 cm and 10 cm. The critical observational challenge is crossing the “HI desert”,...
متن کاملLow-Frequency Model for Radio-Frequency Absorbers
A simple model is developed to characterize the behavior of radio-frequency absorbers at low frequency. The absorber is represented by a flat, homogeneous, isotropic slab of lossy material, with effective constitutive parameters. These parameters are determined by a fit to measured data. Excellent fits are obtained in the two applications considered. The model is intended for use in the charact...
متن کاملImprint of Intergalactic Shocks on the Low-frequency Radio Sky
Strong intergalactic shocks are a natural consequence of structure formation in the universe. These shocks are expected to deposit large fractions of their energy in relativistic electrons (ξe ≃ 0.05 according to supernova remnant observations) and magnetic fields (ξB ≃ 0.01 according to cluster halo observations). We calculate the synchrotron emission from such shocks using an analytical model...
متن کاملSynchrotron Constraints on a Hybrid Cosmic-ray and Thermally-driven Galactic Wind
Cosmic rays and magnetic fields can substantially impact the launching of large-scale galactic winds. Many researchers have investigated the role of cosmic rays; our group previously showed that a cosmic-ray and thermally-driven wind could explain soft X-ray emission towards the center of the Galaxy. In this paper, we calculate the synchrotron emission from our original wind model and compare i...
