Dynamical properties and detectability of the magneto-thermal instability in the intracluster medium

Jean M. Kempf, Francois Rincon, Nicolas Clerc

Context. Amongst many plasma processes potentially relevant to the dynamics of the intracluster medium (ICM), turbulence driven at observable scales by internal magnetised buoyancy…

Helical turbulent nonlinear dynamo at large magnetic Reynolds numbers

F. Rincon

The excitation and further sustenance of large-scale magnetic fields in rotating astrophysical systems, including planets, stars and galaxies, is generally thought to involve a flu…

Dynamo theories

Francois Rincon

These lecture notes are based on a tutorial given in 2017 at a plasma physics winter school in Les Houches. Their aim is to provide a self-contained graduate-student level introduc…

Supergranulation and multiscale flows in the solar photosphere: Global observations vs. a theory of anisotropic turbulent convection

F. Rincon, T. Roudier, A. A. Schekochihin +1

The Sun provides us with the only spatially well-resolved astrophysical example of turbulent thermal convection. While various aspects of solar photospheric turbulence, such as gra…

Magnetorotational dynamo chimeras. The missing link to turbulent accretion disk dynamo models?

A. Riols, F. Rincon, C. Cossu +3

In Keplerian accretion disks, turbulence and magnetic fields may be jointly excited through a subcritical dynamo process involving the magnetorotational instability (MRI). High-res…
