Anomalous plasma acceleration in colliding high-power laser-produced plasmas

T. Morita, K. Nagashima, M. Edamoto +20

We developed an experimental platform for studying magnetic reconnection in an external magnetic field with simultaneous measurements of plasma imaging, flow velocity, and magnetic…

Magnetic Coupling in the Disks Around Young Gas Giant Planets

N. J. Turner, M. H. Lee, T. Sano

We examine the conditions under which the disks of gas and dust orbiting young gas giant planets are sufficiently conducting to experience turbulence driven by the magneto-rotation…

Dead Zone Accretion Flows in Protostellar Disks

N. J. Turner, T. Sano

Planets form inside protostellar disks in a dead zone where the electrical resistivity of the gas is too high for magnetic forces to drive turbulence. We show that much of the dead…

Turbulent Mixing and the Dead Zone in Protostellar Disks

N. J. Turner, T. Sano, N. Dziourkevitch

We investigate the conditions for the presence of a magnetically inactive dead zone in protostellar disks, using 3-D shearing-box MHD calculations including vertical stratification…

Local Three-Dimensional Simulations of Magneto-Rotational Instability in Radiation-Dominated Accretion Disks

N. J. Turner, J. M. Stone, J. H. Krolik +1

We examine the small-scale dynamics of black hole accretion disks in which radiation pressure exceeds gas pressure. Local patches of disk are modeled by numerically integrating the…

Local Axisymmetric Simulations of Magneto-Rotational Instability in Radiation-Dominated Accretion Disks

N. J. Turner, J. M. Stone, T. Sano

We perform numerical simulations of magneto-rotational instability in a local patch of accretion disk in which radiation pressure exceeds gas pressure. Such conditions may occur in…
