Magneto-thermal instability in galaxy clusters - I. Theory and two-dimensional simulations
Determining the origin of turbulence in galaxy clusters, and quantifying its transport of heat, is an outstanding problem, with implications for our understanding of their thermodynamic history and structure. As the dilute plasma of the intracluster medium (ICM) is magnetized, heat and momentum trav...
