Reaching Higher Densities for Laboratory White Dwarf Photospheres to Measure Spectroscopic Line Profiles
Ross E. Falcon, J. E. Bailey, T. A. Gomez +5
As part of our laboratory investigation of the theoretical line profiles used in white dwarf atmosphere models, we extend the electron-density () range measured by our e…
Exploring magnetized liner inertial fusion with a semi-analytic model
R. D. McBride, S. A. Slutz, R. A. Vesey +23
In this paper, we explore magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) [S. A. Slutz et al., Phys. Plasmas 17, 056303 (2010)] using a semi-analytic model [R. D. McBride and S. A. Slutz…
Laboratory Measurements of White Dwarf Photospheric Spectral Lines: H
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +4
We spectroscopically measure multiple hydrogen Balmer line profiles from laboratory plasmas to investigate the theoretical line profiles used in white dwarf atmosphere models. X-ra…
Which Hydrogen Balmer Lines Are Most Reliable for Determining White Dwarf Atmospheric Parameters?
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +4
Our preliminary results from laboratory experiments studying white dwarf (WD) photospheres show a systematic difference between experimental plasma conditions inferred from measure…
Parallax diagnostics of radiation source geometric dilution for iron opacity experiments
T. Nagayama, J. E. Bailey, G. Loisel +2
Experimental tests are in progress to evaluate the accuracy of the modeled iron opacity at solar interior conditions [J.E. Bailey et al., Phys. Plasmas 16, 058101 (2009)]. The iron…
Control and diagnosis of temperature, density, and uniformity in x-ray heated iron/magnesium samples for opacity measurements
T. Nagayama, J. E. Bailey, G. Loisel +5
Experimental tests are in progress to evaluate the accuracy of the modeled iron opacity at solar interior conditions, in particular to better constrain the solar abundance problem…
An Experimental Platform for Creating White Dwarf Photospheres in the Laboratory
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +8
We present an experimental platform for measuring hydrogen Balmer emission and absorption line profiles for plasmas with white dwarf (WD) photospheric conditions (T_e ~ 1 eV, n_e ~…
Creating White Dwarf Photospheres in the Laboratory: Strategy for Astrophysics Applications
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +9
Astrophysics experiments by Falcon et al. to create white dwarf photospheres in the laboratory are currently underway. The experimental platform measures Balmer line profiles of a…
