Micro- vs Macroscopic Transport in Clusters

Speaker

Sebastian Heinz (University of Madison-Wisconsin)

Description

I will discuss large scale transport in the ICM, mitigated by AGN jet feedback, and how it affects the evolution of thermal and non-thermal plasma in ICM and, in turn, the X-ray and radio properties of clusters. In particular, I will address the ability of AGN feedback to enhance conductive heat transport through a mechanism akin to the way geothermal heat pumps operate, based on a set of MHD feedback simulations of the Perseus Cluster.
