Probing extreme black‐hole outflows on short timescales via high spectral‐resolution x‐ray imagers

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We investigate outflows and the physics of super‐Eddington versus sub‐Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next‐generation high‐resolution soft x‐ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole ultraluminous x‐ray source (ULX) systems in particular. Owing to scale invariance in accreting

The Large-scale Anisotropy and Flux (de)magnification of Ultrahigh-energy Cosmic Rays in the Galactic Magnetic Field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We calculate the arrival direction distribution of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with a new suite of models of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF), assuming sources follow the large-scale structure of the Universe.

Effects of Forbush Decreases on the Global Electric Circuit

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract The suppression of high‐energy cosmic rays, known as Forbush decreases (FDs), represents a promising factor in influencing the global electric circuit (GEC) system. Researchers have delved into these effects by examining variations, often disruptive, of the potential gradient (PG) in ground‐based measurements taken in fair weather regions.

Toward Cosmological Simulations of the Magnetized Intracluster Medium with Resolved Coulomb Collision Scale

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the first results of one extremely high-resolution, nonradiative magnetohydrodynamical cosmological zoom-in simulation of a massive cluster with a virial mass of  M _vir = 2.0 × 10 ^15 solar masses. We adopt a mass resolution of 4 × 10 ^5 M _⊙

On the Non-Thermal Energy Content of Cosmic Structures

open access: yesGalaxies, 2016
(1) Background: the budget of non-thermal energy in galaxy clusters is not well constrained, owing to the observational and theoretical difficulties in studying these diluted plasmas on large scales; (2) Method: we use recent cosmological simulations ...

Exploring the Magnetic Field Geometry in NGC 891 with SOFIA/HAWC+

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy/High-resolution Airborne Wideband Camera-plus 154 μ m Far-Infrared polarimetry observations of the well-studied edge-on galaxy NGC 891 are analyzed and compared to simple disk models with ordered (planar ...

Exploring Magnetic Fields in a Merging Galaxy: Comparing Polarization and Velocity Gradient in the Centaurus Galaxy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In this study, we apply the velocity gradient technique to the merging Centaurus galaxy. We compare gradient maps derived from the PHANGS-Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array survey using CO emission lines with magnetic field tracings from dust ...

A Linearly Polarized Merger Shock Down to 550 MHz: A uGMRT Study of the Merging Cluster A746

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Radio relics, arc-like polarized sources with highly aligned magnetic fields, are typically found on the outskirts of merging galaxy clusters. The magnetoionic media responsible for the significant coherence observed in radio relics remain poorly ...

Extragalactic and galactic sources: New evidence, new challenges, new opportunities

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Recent data bring in sharper focus the issue of relative contributions of galactic and extragalactic sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. On the one hand, there is some new evidence, from gamma-ray observations of blazars, that cosmic rays are ...
