Research Opportunities in Plasma Astrophysics
Stuart Bale, Amitava Bhattacharjee, Fausto Cattaneo +13
Major scientific questions and research opportunities are described on 10 unprioritized plasma astrophysics topics: (1) magnetic reconnection, (2) collisionless shocks and particle…
Time-resolved fast turbulent dynamo in a laser plasma
A. F. A. Bott, P. Tzeferacos, L. Chen +25
Understanding magnetic-field generation and amplification in turbulent plasma is essential to account for observations of magnetic fields in the universe. A theoretical framework a…
A hypothetical effect of the Maxwell-Proca electromagnetic stresses on galaxy rotation curves
Dmitri D. Ryutov, Dmitry Budker, Victor V. Flambaum
The Maxwell-Proca electrodynamics corresponding to a finite photon mass causes a substantial change of the Maxwell stress tensor and, under certain circumstances, may cause the ele…
Laboratory evidence of dynamo amplification of magnetic fields in a turbulent plasma
P. Tzeferacos, A. Rigby, A. Bott +27
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe. Extragalactic disks, halos and clusters have consistently been shown, via diffuse radio-synchrotron emission and Faraday rotation me…
Observation of magnetic field generation via the Weibel instability in interpenetrating plasma flows
C. M. Huntington, F. Fiuza, J. S. Ross +18
Collisionless shocks can be produced as a result of strong magnetic fields in a plasma flow, and therefore are common in many astrophysical systems. The Weibel instability is one c…
Formation of Pillars at the Boundaries between H II Regions and Molecular Clouds
Akira Mizuta, Jave O. Kane, Marc W. Pound +3
We investigate numerically the hydrodynamic instability of an ionization front (IF) accelerating into a molecular cloud, with imposed initial perturbations of different amplitudes.…
