Enrichment of the Hot Intracluster Medium: Numerical Simulations [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2018 The distribution of chemical elements in the hot intracluster medium (ICM) retains valuable information about the enrichment and star formation histories of galaxy clusters, and on the feedback and dynamical processes driving the evolution of the cosmic baryons.

Gas motion in the intracluster medium of the Virgo cluster replica
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWithin the deep gravitational potential of galaxy clusters lies the intracluster medium (ICM). At the first order, it is considered to be at hydrostatic equilibrium within the potential well.

Resolved magnetic dynamo action in the simulated intracluster medium [PDF]
, 2017 Faraday rotation and synchrotron emission from extragalactic radio sources give evidence for the presence of magnetic fields extending over ˜ Mpc scales. However, the origin of these fields remains elusive.

Three-dimensional Thermodynamic Structures of the Intracluster Medium across Edges in the X-Ray Surface Brightness of Massive, Bright, Dynamically Active Galaxy Clusters [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalWe present a detailed study of three-dimensional (3D) thermodynamic structures of the intracluster medium (ICM) across edges in the X-ray surface brightness of four massive, bright, dynamically active galaxy clusters (A3667, A2319, A520, and A2146), with

Witnessing the intracluster medium assembly at the cosmic noon in JKCS 041 [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 In this work we study the intracluster medium of a galaxy cluster at the cosmic noon: JKCS 041 at z = 1.803. A 28h long Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) observation using MUSTANG-2 allows us to detect JKCS 041 , even if intrinsically extremely faint compared to

Life cycle of cosmic-ray electrons in the intracluster medium [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 We simulate the evolution of relativistic electrons injected into the medium of a small galaxy cluster by a central radio galaxy, studying how the initial jet power affects the dispersal and the emission properties of radio plasma.

Simulating the transport of relativistic electrons and magnetic fields injected by radio galaxies in the intracluster medium [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 Radio galaxies play an important role in the seeding of cosmic rays and magnetic fields in galaxy clusters. Here, we simulate the evolution of relativistic electrons injected into the intracluster medium by radio galaxies.

On the Small-scale Turbulent Dynamo in the Intracluster Medium: A Comparison to Dynamo Theory [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 We present non-radiative, cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy-cluster formation with magnetic fields and (anisotropic) thermal conduction of one massive galaxy cluster with M vir ∼ 2 × 1015 M ⊙ at z ∼ 0.
