We have performed magnetohydrodynamical simulations to study the amplification of magnetic fields in the precursors of shock waves. Strong magnetic fields are required in the precursors of the strong shocks that occur in supernova remnants. Observations also suggest that magnetic field amplification takes place in the weak shocks that occur in galaxy clusters and that produce so-called radio relics. Here, we extend the study of magnetic field amplification by cosmic-ray driven turbulence to weak shocks. The amplification is driven by turbulence that is produced by the cosmic-ray pressure acting on the density inhomogeneities in the upstream fluid. The clumping that has been inferred from X-ray data for the outskirts of galaxy clusters could provide some of the seed inhomogeneities. Magnetic field power spectra and Faraday maps are produced. Furthermore, we investigate how the synchrotron emission in the shock precursor can be used to verify the existence of this instability and constrain essential plasma parameters.
Turbulent dynamo field amplification has often been invoked to explain the strong field strengths in thin rims in supernova shocks ($sim 100 , mu$G) and in radio relics in galaxy clusters ($sim mu$G). We present high resolution MHD simulations of the
We use adaptive-mesh magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the effect of magnetic fields on ram pressure stripping of galaxies in the intracluster medium (ICM). Although the magnetic pressure in typical clusters is not strong enough to affect the
Within the interstellar medium, supernovae are thought to be the prevailing agents in driving turbulence. Until recently, their effects on magnetic field amplification in disk galaxies remained uncertain. Analytical models based on the uncorrelated-e
We present a nonlinear Monte Carlo model of efficient diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) where the magnetic turbulence responsible for particle diffusion is calculated self-consistently from the resonant cosmic-ray (CR) streaming instability, togethe
If the dark matter is unstable, the decay of these particles throughout the universe and in the halo of the Milky Way could contribute significantly to the isotropic gamma-ray background (IGRB) as measured by Fermi. In this article, we calculate the
