Plasmoid-Mediated 2D Magnetic Reconnection in Partially Ionized Plasmas
Yue Hu, Siyao Xu, Grzegorz Kowal +3
Magnetic reconnection in partially ionized plasmas is an important channel for energy release. While the plasmoid instability is well characterized in 2D fully ionized plasmas, its…
Turbulence Mode Decomposition and Anisotropy in Magnetically Dominated Collisionless Plasmas
Samuel T. Sebastian, Siyao Xu, Yue Hu +3
We use the 3D fully kinetic simulation to study different turbulence modes and turbulence anisotropy of relativistic turbulence in magnetically dominated collisionless plasmas. We…
Reconnection-Driven Turbulent Fluctuations in the Magnetically Dominated Collisionless Regime
Yue Hu, Luca Comisso, Lorenzo Sironi +1
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that converts magnetic energy into bulk flow energy, thermal energy, and nonthermal particle acceleration. Despite its importa…
Cosmic Ray Transport and Gamma-Ray Signatures in the Interstellar Medium
Lucas Barreto-Mota, Elisabete M. de Gouveia Dal Pino, Siyao Xu +4
The interaction of cosmic rays (CRs) with magnetic fields and the interstelar medium (ISM) leads to the production of nonthermal radiation. Although this has been a topic of study…
Probing Turbulence, Gravity, Supernovae, and Magnetic Field Effects with the 6D Kinematics of Young Stars in Milky Way Star-Forming Regions
Benjamin N. Velguth, Yuan Li, Trung Ha +6
The dynamics of star forming gas can be affected by many physical processes, such as turbulence, gravity, supernova explosions, and magnetic fields. In this paper, we investigate s…
Studying the diffusion mechanism of cosmic-ray particles
Yawen Xiao, Jianfu Zhang, Siyao Xu
More and more observations have indicated the existence of slow diffusion phenomena in astrophysical environments, such as around the supernova remnants and pulsar -ray halos, w…
Dynamics of Multiphase Carbon in the Turbulent Circumgalactic Medium
Yue Hu, Evan Scannapieco, Edward Buie +3
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) plays a crucial role in regulating material and energy exchange between galaxies and their environments. The best means of observing this medium is…
Cosmic Ray Perpendicular Superdiffusion and Parallel Mirror Diffusion in a Partially Ionized and Turbulent Medium
Yue Hu, Siyao Xu, Alex Lazarian +2
Understanding cosmic ray (CR) diffusion in a partially ionized medium is both crucial and challenging. In this study, we investigate CR perpendicular superdiffusion and parallel tr…
Anisotropic Velocity Fluctuations in Galaxy Mergers: A Probe of the Magnetic Field
Yue Hu, Joseph Whittingham, A. Lazarian +3
Magnetic fields and turbulence are fundamental to the evolution of galaxies, yet their precise measurement and analysis present significant challenges. The recently developed Veloc…
Cosmic ray diffusion in magnetic fields amplified by nonlinear turbulent dynamo
Chao Zhang, Siyao Xu
The diffusion of cosmic rays (CRs) in turbulent magnetic fields is fundamental to understand various astrophysical processes. We explore the CR diffusion in the magnetic fluctuatio…
Cosmic Ray Diffusion in the Turbulent Interstellar Medium: Effects of Mirror Diffusion and Pitch Angle Scattering
Lucas Barreto-Mota, Elisabete M. de Gouveia Dal Pino, Siyao Xu +1
Cosmic rays (CRs) interact with turbulent magnetic fields in the intestellar medium, generating nonthermal emission. After many decades of studies, the theoretical understanding of…
On the properties and implications of collapse-driven MHD turbulence
Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Yue Hu, Siyao Xu +2
We numerically investigate the driving of MHD turbulence by gravitational contraction using simulations of an initially spherical, magnetically supercritical cloud core with initia…
Toward interpreting the IBEX ribbon with mirror diffusion in interstellar turbulent magnetic fields
Siyao Xu, Hui Li
We investigate the role of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence measured by Voyager in the very local interstellar medium (VLISM) in modeling the Interstellar Boundary Explorer…
The JWST Galactic Center Survey -- A White Paper
Rainer Schoedel, Steve Longmore, Jonny Henshaw +111
The inner hundred parsecs of the Milky Way hosts the nearest supermassive black hole, largest reservoir of dense gas, greatest stellar density, hundreds of massive main and post ma…
