Description
Magnetic fields play a crucial role in shaping the properties of the intracluster medium and influencing galaxy cluster evolution.
In this talk, we present a census of the general properties and morphology of magnetic fields in the TNG-Cluster simulation, a new suite of cosmological zoom simulations that self-consistently model magnetic fields, focusing on the highest mass galaxy clusters. We identify significant differences in magnetic field morphology between cool-core (CC) and non-cool-core (NCC) clusters. In CC clusters, magnetic fields are predominantly tangentially oriented, whereas NCC clusters exhibit predominantly isotropic magnetic field structures. We provide a first insight into possible mechanisms causing these differences, highlighting the role of AGN feedback.
