Can We Fly to Planet 9?

Adam Hibberd, Manasvi Lingam, Andreas M. Hein

Planet 9 is an hypothetical object in the outer Solar system, which is as yet undiscovered. It has been speculated that it may be a terrestrial planet or gas/ice giant, or perhaps…

Extended MHD turbulence and its applications to the solar wind

Hamdi M. Abdelhamid, Manasvi Lingam, Swadesh M. Mahajan

Extended MHD is a one-fluid model that incorporates two-fluid effects such as electron inertia and the Hall drift. This model is used to construct fully nonlinear Alfvénic wave sol…

Multi-region relaxed Hall magnetohydrodynamics with flow

Manasvi Lingam, Hamdi M. Abdelhamid, Stuart R. Hudson

The recent formulations of multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamics (MRxMHD) have generalized the famous Woltjer-Taylor states by incorporating a collection of "ideal barriers" th…

General Theory of the Plasmoid Instability

L. Comisso, M. Lingam, Y. -M. Huang +1

A general theory of the onset and development of the plasmoid instability is formulated by means of a principle of least time. The scaling relations for the final aspect ratio, tra…

Hall current effects in mean-field dynamo theory

Manasvi Lingam, Amitava Bhattacharjee

The role of the Hall term on large scale dynamo action is investigated by means of the First Order Smoothing Approximation. It is shown that the standard coefficient is altered…

Modeling astrophysical outflows via the unified Dynamo-Reverse Dynamo mechanism

Manasvi Lingam, Swadesh M. Mahajan

The unified Dynamo-Reverse Dynamo (Dy-RDy) mechanism, capable of simultaneously generating large scale outflows and magnetic fields from an ambient microscopic reservoir, is explor…
