Suppression of spiral density waves in collisionless accretion flows
Stephen Majeski, Matthew W. Kunz, Jason Dexter
Spiral density waves are ubiquitous phenomena in differentially rotating flows. They are non-modal, non-axisymmetric perturbations that, due to shear in the background flow, posses…
White Dwarf Natal Kicks as Velocity-Space Random Walks. I. Fokker-Planck Theory
Stephen Majeski, Dang Pham, Taeho Ryu +2
White dwarfs are the most common end state of stellar evolution, including that of our own Sun, making their formation critical to completing a more comprehensive understanding of…
White Dwarf Natal Kicks as Velocity-Space Random Walks. II. Binary Stellar Evolution and Observational Kick Constraints
Dang Pham, Stephen Majeski, Taeho Ryu +2
Wide binaries containing white dwarfs (WDs) provide a pathway to exploring post-main-sequence (MS) natal kicks associated with asymmetric mass loss. In this work, we develop a bina…
Reduced Effective Viscosity from Anisotropic Transport and Plasma Instabilities in the Sloshing Cores of Galaxy Clusters
John A. ZuHone, Stephen Majeski, Annie Heinrich +3
The G magnetic field in the intracluster medium (ICM) introduces a pressure anisotropy with respect to the magnetic field's direction that manifests as an anisotropic visco…
Cosmic-ray transport in inhomogeneous media
Robert J. Ewart, Patrick Reichherzer, Shuzhe Ren +6
A theory of cosmic-ray transport in multi-phase diffusive media is developed, with the specific application to cases in which the cosmic-ray diffusion coefficient has large spatial…
Self-organization in collisionless, high- turbulence
S. Majeski, M. W. Kunz, J. Squire
The MHD equations, as a collisional fluid model that remains in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), have long been used to describe turbulence in myriad space and astrophysical…
On hydromagnetic wave interactions in collisionless, high- plasmas
Stephen Majeski, Matthew W. Kunz
We describe the interaction of parallel-propagating Alfvén waves with ion-acoustic waves and other Alfvén waves, in magnetized, high- collisionless plasmas. This is accomplished…
Microphysically modified magnetosonic modes in collisionless, high- plasmas
Stephen Majeski, Matthew W. Kunz, Jonathan Squire
With the support of hybrid-kinetic simulations and analytic theory, we describe the nonlinear behaviour of long-wavelength non-propagating (NP) modes and fast magnetosonic waves in…
