Regulation of thermal conductivity in hot galaxy clusters by MHD turbulence

The role of thermal conduction in regulating the thermal behavior of cooling flows in galaxy clusters is reexamined. Recent investigations have shown that the anisotropic Coulomb heat flux caused by a magnetic field in a dilute plasma drives a dynamical instability. A long-standing problem of coolin...
