Highly ordered magnetic fields in the tail of the jellyfish galaxy JO206

no code implementations28 Sep 2020 Ancla Müller, Bianca Poggianti, Christoph Pfrommer, Björn Adebahr, Paolo Serra, Alessandro Ignesti, Martin Sparre, Myriam Gitti, Ralf-Jürgen Dettmar, Benedetta Vulcani, Alessia Moretti

Jellyfish galaxies have long tails of gas that is stripped from the disc by ram pressure due to the motion of galaxies in the intracluster medium in galaxy clusters.

Suppressed heat conductivity in the intracluster medium: implications for the magneto-thermal instability

1 code implementation30 Jun 2020 Thomas Berlok, Eliot Quataert, Martin E. Pessah, Christoph Pfrommer

We study plane-parallel, initially static atmospheres and employ a subgrid model that mimics the influence of the mirror instability on the heat conductivity.

On the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability with smooth initial conditions -- Linear theory and simulations

1 code implementation4 Feb 2019 Thomas Berlok, Christoph Pfrommer

In this paper we derive a linear theory for the KHI with smooth profiles and illustrate code testing with the MHD code Athena.
