A Heating Mechanism via Magnetic Pumping in the Intracluster Medium

A Heating Mechanism via Magnetic Pumping in the Intracluster Medium

Turbulence driven by active galactic nuclei activity, cluster mergers, and galaxy motion constitutes an attractive energy source for heating the intracluster medium (ICM). How this energy dissipates into the ICM plasma remains unclear, given its low collisionality and high magnetization (precluding...
