Cosmic Ray Acceleration during Large Scale Structure Formation
Clusters of galaxies are storage rooms of cosmic rays. They confine the hadronic component of cosmic rays over cosmological time scales due to diffusion, and the electron component due to energy losses. Hadronic cosmic rays can be accelerated during the process of structure formation, because of the supersonic motion of gas in the potential wells created by dark matter. At the shock waves that ...
متن کاملAveraging inhomogeneities in scalar-tensor cosmology
The backreaction of inhomogeneities on the cosmic dynamics is studied in the context of scalar-tensor gravity. Due to terms of indefinite sign in the non-canonical effective energy tensor of the Brans–Dicke-like scalar field, extra contributions to the cosmic acceleration can arise. Brans–Dicke and metric f(R) gravity are presented as specific examples. Certain representation problems of the fo...
متن کاملProduction of Magnetic Turbulence by Cosmic Rays Drifting Upstream of Supernova Remnant Shocks
We present results of twoand three-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations of magnetic-turbulence production by isotropic cosmic-ray ions drifting upstream of supernova remnant shocks. The studies aim at testing recent predictions of a strong amplification of short-wavelength non-resonant wave modes and at studying the subsequent evolution of the magnetic turbulence and its backreaction on cos...
متن کاملMagnetic turbulence production by streaming cosmic rays upstream of SNR shocks
We present preliminary results of Particle-In-Cell simulations of magnetic turbulence production by isotropic cosmic-ray ions streaming upstream of supernova remnant shocks. The studies aim at testing the MHD predictions by Bell [1, 2] of a strong amplification of short-wavelength nonresonant wave modes and at studying the subsequent evolution of the magnetic turbulence and its backreaction on ...
متن کاملGravitational backreaction in cosmological spacetimes
We develop a new formalism for the treatment of gravitational backreaction in the cosmological setting. The approach is inspired by projective techniques in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. We employ group-averaging with respect to the action of the isotropy group of homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes (rather than spatial averaging), in order to define effective FRW variables for a gene...
