Self-Convergence of Radiatively Cooling Clumps
Kristopher Yirak, Adam Frank, Andrew J. Cunningham
Numeric convergence studies demonstrate that the evolution of an adiabatic clump is well-captured by roughly 100 cells per clump radius. The presence of radiative cooling, however,…
Laboratory Studies for Planetary Sciences. A Planetary Decadal Survey White Paper Prepared by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) Working Group on Laboratory Astrophysics (WGLA)
Murthy Gudipati, Michael A'Hearn, Nancy Brickhouse +11
The WGLA of the AAS (http://www.aas.org/labastro/) promotes collaboration and exchange of knowledge between astronomy and planetary sciences and the laboratory sciences (physics, c…
Magnetic Nested-wind Scenarios for Bipolar Outflows: Pre-planetary and YSO nebular shaping
Timothy J. Dennis, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman +3
We present results of a series of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and hydro- dynamic (HD) 2.5D simulations of the morphology of outflows driven by nested wide-angle winds - i.e. winds wh…
Roles and Needs of Laboratory Astrophysics in NASA's Space and Earth Science Mission
Nancy Brickhouse, John Cowan, Paul Drake +9
Laboratory astrophysics and complementary theoretical calculations are the foundations of astronomy and astrophysics and will remain so into the foreseeable future. The mission ena…
Understanding Mass-Loss and the late Evolution of Intermediate Mass Stars: Jets, Disks, Binarity, Dust and Magnetic Fields
Raghvendra Sahai, Bruce Balick, Eric Blackman +7
Almost all stars in the 1-8 Msun range evolve through the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), preplanetary nebula (PPN) and planetary nebula (PN) evolutionary phases. Most stars that le…
Laboratory Astrophysics and the State of Astronomy and Astrophysics
AAS WGLA, :, Nancy Brickhouse +11
Laboratory astrophysics and complementary theoretical calculations are the foundations of astronomy and astrophysics and will remain so into the foreseeable future. The impact of l…
