Hypersonic Buckshot: Astrophysical Jets as Heterogeneous Collimated Plasmoids
Kristopher Yirak, Adam Frank, Andrew J. Cunningham +1
Herbig-Haro (HH) jets are commonly thought of as homogeneous beams of plasma traveling at hypersonic velocities. Structure within jet beams is often attributed to periodic or ``pul…
The Interaction Between a Pulsed Astrophysical Jet and Small-Scale Heterogeneous Media
Kristopher Yirak, Adam Frank, Andrew Cunningham +1
We have performed 2D hydrodynamic simulations of a pulsed astrophysical jet propagating through a medium that is populated with spherical inhomogeneities, or "clumps," which are sm…
SDSS J210014.12+004446.0: A New Dwarf Nova with Quiescent Superhumps?
Jonica Tramposch, Lee Homer, Paula Szkody +5
We report follow-up observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Cataclysmic Variable SDSS J210014.12+004446.0 (hereafter SDSS J2100). We obtained photometry and spectroscopy in bo…
Chandra Observation of V426 Oph: Weighing the Evidence for a Magnetic White Dwarf
Lee Homer, Paula Szkody, John C. Raymond +6
We report the results of a 45 ks Chandra observation of the cataclysmic variable V426 Ophiuchus. The high resolution spectrum from the high-energy transmission grating spectrometer…
