Lessons from Comparisons between the Nuclear Region of the Milky Way & Those in Nearby Spirals
J. S. Gallagher, Tova M. Yoast-Hull, Ellen G. Zweibel
The Milky Way appears is a typical barred spiral, and comparisons can be made between its nuclear region and those of structurally similar nearby spirals. Maffei 2, M83, IC 342 and…
Active Galactic Nuclei, Neutrinos, and Interacting Cosmic Rays in NGC 253 & NGC 1068
Tova M. Yoast-Hull, J. S. Gallagher, Ellen G. Zweibel +1
The galaxies M82, NGC 253, NGC 1068, and NGC 4945 have been detected in gamma-rays by Fermi. Previously, we developed and tested a model for cosmic ray interactions in the starburs…
Cosmic Ray Sampling of a Clumpy Interstellar Medium
Erin Boettcher, Ellen G. Zweibel, Tova M. Yoast-Hull +1
How cosmic rays sample the multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM) in starburst galaxies has important implications for many science goals, including evaluating the cosmic ray calori…
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment: a facility for studying laboratory plasma astrophysics
C. M. Cooper, J. Wallace, M. Brookhart +13
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment (MPDX) is a novel, versatile, basic plasma research device designed to investigate flow driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and othe…
Winds, Clumps, and Interacting Cosmic Rays in M82
Tova M. Yoast-Hull, John E. Everett, J. S. Gallagher +1
We construct a family of models for the evolution of energetic particles in the starburst galaxy M82 and compare them to observations to test the calorimeter assumption that all co…
Energy conservation and gravity waves in sound-proof treatments of stellar interiors: Part II Lagrangian constrained analysis
Geoffrey M. Vasil, Daniel Lecoanet, Benjamin P. Brown +2
The speed of sound greatly exceeds typical flow velocities in many stellar and planetary interiors. To follow the slow evolution of subsonic motions, various sound-proof models att…
Cosmic Ray Heating of the Warm Ionized Medium
Joshua Wiener, Ellen G. Zweibel, S. Peng Oh
Observations of line ratios in the Milky Way's warm ionized medium (WIM) suggest that photoionization is not the only heating mechanism present. For the additional heating to expla…
