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 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 ...

Extragalactic Magnetic Fields in the Extragalactic Universe and Scenarios Since Recombination for their Origin [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 2002
AbstractI briefly review recent observations, some related physics and modelling, and future possibilities relating to our knowledge of the strength, structure and evolution of extragalactic magnetic fields.

Gravitational Lens Systems to probe Extragalactic Magnetic Fields

open access: yes, 2008
The Faraday rotation measurements of multiply-imaged gravitational lens systems can be effectively used to probe the existence of large-scale ordered magnetic fields in lensing galaxies and galaxy clusters. The available sample of lens systems appears to suggest the presence of a coherent large-scale magnetic field in giant elliptical galaxies somewhat

Rayos cósmicos ultra-energéticos y lentes magnéticas

open access: yesMomento, 2000
I discuss the effects associated to the defiection of ultra- high energy cosmic rays by galactic magnetic fields. These are of particular interest for the study and localization of extragalactic sources, which is one of the primary objectives of the ...
