Measurements of the Canonical Helicity of a Gyrating Kink
Jens von der Linden, Jason Sears, Thomas Intrator +1
Conversions between magnetic and kinetic energy occur over a range of plasma scales in astrophysical and solar dynamos and reconnection in the solar corona and the laboratory. Cano…
Signatures of Secondary Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection Driven by Kink Instability of a Flux Rope
S. Markidis, G. Lapenta, G. L. Delzanno +5
The kinetic features of secondary magnetic reconnection in a single flux rope undergoing internal kink instability are studied by means of three-dimensional Particle-in-Cell simula…
Superdiffusion of 2D Yukawa liquids due to a perpendicular magnetic field
Yan Feng, J. Goree, Bin Liu +2
Stochastic transport of a two-dimensional (2D) dusty plasma liquid with a perpendicular magnetic field is studied. Superdiffusion, which is a type of non-Fickian transport, is foun…
Plasma Physics Processes of the Interstellar Medium
Steven Spangler, Marijke Haverkorn, Thomas Intrator +4
We discuss the outstanding issues of the interstellar medium which will depend on the application of knowledge from plasma physics. We particularly advocate attention to recent dev…
The Need for Plasma Astrophysics in Understanding Life Cycles of Active Galaxies
H. Li, J. Arons, P. Bellan +8
In this White Paper, we emphasize the need for and the important role of plasma astrophysics in the studies of formation, evolution of, and feedback by Active Galaxies. We make thr…
Current driven rotating kink mode in a plasma column with a non-line-tied free end
I. Furno, T. P. Intrator, S. Abbate +5
First experimental measurements are presented for the kink instability in a linear plasma column which is insulated from an axial boundary by finite sheath resistivity. Instability…
