Safety first: Stability and dissipation of line-tied force-free flux tubes in magnetized coronae
Natalie Rugg, Jens F. Mahlmann, Anatoly Spitkovsky
Magnetized plasma columns and extended magnetic structures with both footpoints anchored to a surface layer are an important building block of astrophysical dissipation models. Cur…
Anomalous coupling in radiation mediated shocks}
A. Levinson, A. Granot, A. Vanthieghem +1
We summarize recent attempts to unravel the role of plasma kinetic effects in radiation mediated shocks. Such shocks form in all strong stellar explosions and are responsible for t…
Three-dimensional dynamics of strongly twisted magnetar magnetospheres: Kinking flux tubes and global eruptions
J. F. Mahlmann, A. A. Philippov, V. Mewes +3
The origins of the various outbursts of hard X-rays from magnetars (highly magnetized neutron stars) are still unknown. We identify instabilities in relativistic magnetospheres tha…
