Title: Follow the Energy, But Read the Fine Print: Kinetic Physics on Galaxy Cluster Scales
Abstract: It is generally accepted that the hot, tenuous Intracluster Medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters would cool in less than a Hubble time if it were not heated. While energy sources in the form of AGN, galaxy stirring, infall, and cluster mergers abound, how that energy is actually converted to heat is an open problem. I will discuss some recent work on how energy is dissipated, transported, and apportioned between thermal and nonthermal particles.
