Macroscopic magnetization of primordial plasma by virial shocks
We show that galaxy-cluster virial (i.e., structure-formation accretion) shock observations, in particular of synchrotron emission, imply ≳ 1% magnetization of a macroscopic, ≳ 1016 Debye-length layer downstream, challenging high Alfvén-Mach collisionless-shock modelling. Unlike similar shocks in supernova remnants or relativistic shocks in γ-ray burst afterglows, where macroscopic magnetized layers were attributed to preexisting or non-resonant cosmic-ray streaming-seeded substructure, virial shock upstreams are both weakly magnetized and pristine. Hence, some mechanism must generate macroscopic sub-structure out of the accreted primordial plasma, and may similarly dominate additional high-Mach shock systems.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) encompasses theoretical, observational and experimental areas as well as computation and simulation. The journal covers the latest developments in the theory of all fundamental interactions and their cosmological implications (e.g. M-theory and cosmology, brane cosmology). JCAP''s coverage also includes topics such as formation, dynamics and clustering of galaxies, pre-galactic star formation, x-ray astronomy, radio astronomy, gravitational lensing, active galactic nuclei, intergalactic and interstellar matter.
