Compressible Turbulence in Galaxy Clusters: Physics and Stochastic Particle Re-acceleration
We attempt to explain the non-thermal emission arising from galaxy clusters as a result of the re–acceleration of electrons by compressible turbulence induced by cluster mergers. On the basis of the available observational facts we put forward a simplified model of turbulence in clusters of galaxies focusing our attention on the compressible motions. In our model intracluster medium (ICM) is re...
متن کاملHeating and Turbulence Driving by Galaxy Motions in Galaxy Clusters
Using three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, we investigate heating and turbulence driving in an intracluster medium (ICM) by orbital motions of galaxies in a galaxy cluster. We consider Ng member galaxies on isothermal and isotropic orbits through an ICM typical of rich clusters. An introduction of the galaxies immediately produces gravitational wakes, providing perturbations that can pot...
متن کاملA Simple Measurement of Turbulence in Cores of Galaxy Clusters
Using a simple model, we study the effects of turbulence on the motion of bubbles produced by AGN jet activities in the core of a galaxy cluster. We focus on the turbulence with scales larger then the size of the bubbles. We show that for a bubble pair with an age of ∼ 10 yr, the projected angle between the two vectors from the cluster center to the two bubbles should be & 90 and the ratio of t...
متن کاملAlfvénic reacceleration of relativistic particles in galaxy clusters in the presence of secondary electrons and positrons
In a previous paper (Brunetti et al. 2004) we presented the first self-consistent calculations of the time-dependent coupled equations for the electrons, hadrons and Alfvén waves in the intracluster medium, which describe the stochastic acceleration of the charged particles and the corresponding spectral modification of the waves. Under viable assumptions, this system of mutually interacting co...
متن کاملAlfvenic reacceleration of relativistic particles in galaxy clusters: MHD waves, leptons and hadrons
There is a growing evidence that extended radio halos are most likely generated by electrons reaccelerated via some kind of turbulence generated in the cluster volume during major mergers. It is well known that Alfvén waves channel most of their energy flux in the acceleration of relativistic particles. Much work has been done recently to study this phenomenon and its consequences for the expla...
