Scaling stellar jets to the laboratory: the power of simulations
Chantal Stehle, Andrea Ciardi, Jean-Philippe Colombier +5
Advances in laser and Z-pinch technology, coupled with the development of plasma diagnostics and the availability of high-performance computers, have recently stimulated the growth…
Disk formation during collapse of magnetized protostellar cores
P. Hennebelle, A. Ciardi
In the context of star and planet formation, understanding the formation of disks is of fundamental importance. Previous studies found that the magnetic field has a very strong imp…
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…
Laboratory Studies of Astrophysical Jets
Andrea Ciardi
Jets and outflows produced during star-formation are observed on many scales: from the "micro-jets" extending a few hundred Astronomical Units to the "super-jets" propagating to pa…
