Evolution of current and pressure driven instabilities in relativistic jets
M. Musso, G. Bodo, G. Mamatsashvili +2
Instabilities in relativistic magnetized jets are thought to be deeply connected to their energy dissipation properties and to the consequent acceleration of the non-thermal emitti…
Current driven kink instabilities in relativistic jets: dissipation properties
G. Bodo, G. Mamatsashvili, P. Rossi +1
We analyze the evolution of current driven kink instabilities of a highly magnetized relativistic plasma column, focusing in particular on its dissipation properties. The instabili…
Planet formation: The case for large efforts on the computational side
Wladimir Lyra, Thomas Haworth, Bertram Bitsch +54
Modern astronomy has finally been able to observe protoplanetary disks in reasonable resolution and detail, unveiling the processes happening during planet formation. These observe…
Linear stability analysis of magnetized jets: the rotating case
G. Bodo, G. Mamatsashvili, P. Rossi +1
We perform a linear stability analysis of magnetized rotating cylindrical jet flows in the approximation of zero thermal pressure. We focus our analysis on the effect of rotation o…
Planetesimal formation in self-gravitating discs -- dust trapping by vortices
P. G. Gibbons, G. R. Mamatsashvili, W. K. M. Rice
The mechanism through which meter-sized boulders grow to km-sized planetesimals in protoplanetary discs is a subject of active research, since it is critical for planet formation.…
Planetesimal formation in self-gravitating discs: the effects of particle self-gravity and back-reaction
P. G. Gibbons, G. R. Mamatsashvili, W. K. M. Rice
We study particle dynamics in self-gravitating gaseous discs with a simple cooling law prescription via two-dimensional simulations in the shearing sheet approximation. It is well…
