在弱碰撞的星系团内介质（ICM）中的湍流能够在离子中产生强的热速度各向异性（相对于局部磁场方向），如果粒子的磁矩在没有库仑碰撞的情况下是守恒的。在这种情况下，各向异性压力磁流体动力学（AMHD）湍流显示出非常不同的统计行为，从标准的MHD之一，是无法放大种子磁场，在与以前的宇宙学MHD模拟是成功地解释所观察到的磁场在ICM不一致。另一方面，温度各向异性也可以驱动等离子体不稳定性，这可以放松各向异性。这项工作的目的是比较弛豫率与增长率的各向异性驱动的湍流。我们采用准线性理论来估计离子散射率，由于平行的消防水龙带，镜子，和离子回旋不稳定性，从AMHD模拟的湍流ICM产生的一组等离子体参数。我们发现，ICM湍流只能维持非常接近不稳定性阈值的各向异性水平。我们认为，AMHD模型的边界的各向异性在边缘稳定性水平可以描述的阿尔芬湍流级联的ICM。
Turbulence in the weakly collisional intracluster medium of galaxies (ICM) is able to generate strong thermal velocity anisotropies in the ions (with respect to the local magnetic field direction), if the magnetic moment of the particles is conserved in the absence of Coulomb collisions. In this scenario, the anisotropic pressure magnetohydrodynamic (AMHD) turbulence shows a very different statistical behaviour from the standard MHD one and is unable to amplify seed magnetic fields, in disagreement with previous cosmological MHD simulations which are successful to explain the observed magnetic fields in the ICM. On the other hand, temperature anisotropies can also drive plasma instabilities which can relax the anisotropy. This work aims to compare the relaxation rate with the growth rate of the anisotropies driven by the turbulence. We employ quasilinear theory to estimate the ions scattering rate due to the parallel firehose, mirror, and ion-cyclotron instabilities, for a set of plasma parameters resulting from AMHD simulations of the turbulent ICM. We show that the ICM turbulence can sustain only anisotropy levels very close to the instabilities thresholds. We argue that the AMHD model which bounds the anisotropies at the marginal stability levels can describe the Alfvenic turbulence cascade in the ICM.
