Solar wind induced magnetic field around the unmagnetized Earth
G. T. Birk, H. Lesch, C. Konz
The Earth is a planet with a dipolar magnetic field which is agitated by a magnetized plasma wind streaming from the Sun. The magnetic field shields the Earth's surface from penetr…
Dynamical evolution of high velocity clouds in the intergalactic medium
C. Konz, C. Bruens, G. T. Birk
HI observations of high-velocity clouds (HVCs) indicate, that they are interacting with their ambient medium. Even clouds located in the very outer Galactic halo or the intergalact…
Shear-Flow Driven Current Filamentation: Two-Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations
C. Konz, H. Wiechen, H. Lesch
The process of current filamentation in permanently externally driven, initially globally ideal plasmas is investigated by means of two-dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)-simula…
The critical velocity effect as a cause for the Hαemission from the Magellanic stream
C. Konz, H. Lesch, G. T. Birk +1
Observations show significant Hα-emissions in the Galactic halo near the edges of cold gas clouds of the Magellanic Stream. The source for the ionization of the cold gas is still a…
