Nonaxisymmetric Rossby Vortex Instability with Toroidal Magnetic Fields in Radially Structured Disks
Cong Yu, Hui Li
We investigate the global nonaxisymmetric Rossby vortex instability in a differentially rotating, compressible magnetized accretion disk with radial density structures. Equilibrium…
Electron-ion scattering in dense multi-component plasmas: application to the outer crust of an accreting neutron star
J. Daligault, S. Gupta
The thermal conductivity of a dense {\it multi-component} plasma is critical to the modeling of accreting neutron stars. To this end, we perform large-scale molecular dynamics simu…
Quantum Darwinism
Wojciech Hubert Zurek
Quantum Darwinism describes the proliferation, in the environment, of multiple records of selected states of a quantum system. It explains how the fragility of a state of a single…
Galaxy Cluster Astrophysics and Cosmology: Questions and Opportunities for the Coming Decade
S. T. Myers, C. Pfrommer, J. Aguirre +21
We are learning much about how structure forms, in particular how clusters as nodes in the cosmic web evolve and accrete matter, and about the physical processes within these objec…
The Need for Plasma Astrophysics in Understanding Life Cycles of Active Galaxies
H. Li, J. Arons, P. Bellan +8
In this White Paper, we emphasize the need for and the important role of plasma astrophysics in the studies of formation, evolution of, and feedback by Active Galaxies. We make thr…
The Case for Deep, Wide-Field Cosmology
Ryan Scranton, Andreas Albrecht, Robert Caldwell +14
Much of the science case for the next generation of deep, wide-field optical/infrared surveys has been driven by the further study of dark energy. This is a laudable goal (and the…
