: Self-Sustained Streaming Motions in Multi-Phase MHD

Chaoran Wang, S. Peng Oh, Yan-Fei Jiang +1

Radiative cooling can drive dynamics in multi-phase gas. A dramatic example is hydrodynamic `shattering', the violent, pressure-driven fragmentation of a cooling cloud which falls…

Coronal Heating as Determined by the Solar Flare Frequency Distribution Obtained by Aggregating Case Studies

James Paul Mason, Alexandra Werth, Colin G. West +999

Flare frequency distributions represent a key approach to addressing one of the largest problems in solar and stellar physics: determining the mechanism that counter-intuitively he…

Turbulent Heating in a Stratified Medium

Chaoran Wang, S. Peng Oh, M. Ruszkowski

There is considerable evidence for widespread subsonic turbulence in galaxy clusters, most notably from {\it Hitomi}. Turbulence is often invoked to offset radiative losses in clus…

Chaotic cold accretion in giant elliptical galaxies heated by AGN cosmic rays

Chaoran Wang, Mateusz Ruszkowski, H. -Y. Karen Yang

Black hole feedback plays a central role in shaping the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of elliptical galaxies. We systematically study the impact of plasma physics on the evolution of…

AGN Feedback and Multi-phase Gas in Giant Elliptical Galaxies

Chaoran Wang, Yuan Li, Mateusz Ruszkowski

Recent observations have found extended multi-phase gas in a significant fraction of massive elliptical galaxies. We perform high-resolution three-dimensional hydrodynamical simula…
