Non-relativistic Collisionless Shocks in Unmagnetized Electron-Ion Plasmas

Tsunehiko N. Kato, Hideaki Takabe

We show that the Weibel-mediated collisionless shocks are driven at non-relativistic propagation speed (0.1c < V < 0.45c) in unmagnetized electron-ion plasmas by performing two-dim…

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.…

Compton Spectrum from Poynting Flux Accelerated e+e- Plasma

Shinya Sugiyama, Edison Liang, Koichi Noguchi +1

We report the Compton scattering emission from the Poynting flux acceleration of electron- positron plasma simulated by the 2-1/2 dimensional particle-in-cell(PIC) code. We show th…

Nonaxisymmetric Magnetorotational Instability in Proto-Neutron Stars

Youhei Masada, Takayoshi Sano, Hideaki Takabe

We investigate the stability of differentially rotating proto-neutron stars (PNSs) with a toroidal magnetic field. Stability criteria for nonaxisymmetric MHD instabilities are deri…

Propagation and Dynamics of Relativistic Jets

Akira Mizuta, Shoichi Yamada, Hideaki Takabe

We investigate the dynamics and morphology of jets propagating into the interstellar medium using 2D relativistic hydrodynamic simulations. The calculations are performed assuming…
