Stability of quasi-Keplerian shear flow in a laboratory experiment
Ethan Schartman, Hantao Ji, Michael J. Burin +1
Context: Subcritical transition to turbulence has been proposed as a source of turbulent viscosity required for the associated angular momentum transport for fast accretion in Kepl…
Observation of magnetocoriolis waves in a liquid metal Taylor-Couette experiment
M. D. Nornberg, H. Ji, E. Schartman +2
The first observation of fast and slow magnetocoriolis (MC) waves in a laboratory experiment is reported. Rotating nonaxisymmetric modes arising from a magnetized turbulent Taylor-…
Hydrodynamic turbulence cannot transport angular momentum effectively in astrophysical disks
Hantao Ji, Michael J. Burin, Ethan Schartman +1
The most efficient energy sources known in the Universe are accretion disks. Those around black holes convert 5 -- 40 per cent of rest-mass energy to radiation. Like water circling…
Stability of the Submillimeter Brightness of the Atmosphere Above Mauna Kea, Chajnantor and the South Pole
J. B. Peterson, S. J. E. Radford, P. A. R. Ade +4
The summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the area near Cerro Chajnantor in Chile, and the South Pole are sites of large millimeter or submillimeter wavelength telescopes. We have placed…
Experiment Design and First Season Observations with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer
E. M. Leitch, C. Pryke, N. W. Halverson +14
We describe the instrumentation, experiment design and data reduction for the first season of observations with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer (DASI), a compact microwave…
