When Shock Waves Collide
P. Hartigan, J. Foster, A. Frank +10
Supersonic outflows from objects as varied as stellar jets, massive stars and novae often exhibit multiple shock waves that overlap one another. When the intersection angle between…
Formation of Episodic Magnetically Driven Radiatively Cooled Plasma Jets in the Laboratory
F. Suzuki-Vidal, S. V. Lebedev, A. Ciardi +11
We report on experiments in which magnetically driven radiatively cooled plasma jets were produced by a 1 MA, 250 ns current pulse on the MAGPIE pulsed power facility. The jets wer…
Towards a Spectral Technique for Determining Material Geometry Around Evolved Stars: Application to HD 179821
J. Nordhaus, I. Minchev, B. Sargent +6
HD 179821 is an evolved star of unknown progenitor mass range (either post-Asymptotic Giant Branch or post-Red Supergiant) exhibiting a double peaked spectral energy distribution (…
Supersonic radiatively cooled rotating flows and jets in the laboratory
D. J. Ampleford, S. V. Lebedev, A. Ciardi +10
The first laboratory astrophysics experiments to produce a radiatively cooled plasma jet with dynamically significant angular momentum are discussed. A new configuration of wire ar…
3D MHD Simulations of Laboratory Plasma Jets
A. Ciardi, S. V. Lebedev, A. Frank +11
Jets and outflows are thought to be an integral part of accretion phenomena and are associated with a large variety of objects. In these systems, the interaction of magnetic fields…
Clumpy Flows in Protoplanetary and Planetary Nebulae
A. Y. Poludnenko, A. Frank, S. Mitran
Many astrophysical flows occur in inhomogeneous media. We briefly discuss some general properties of the adiabatic and radiative inhomogeneous systems and discuss the relevance of…
