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…
Fermi-type particle acceleration from magnetic reconnection at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind
Yingchao Lu, Fan Guo, Patrick Kilian +3
An oblique-rotating pulsar generates a relativistic striped wind in a pulsar wind nebula (PWN). The termination shock of the PWN compresses the Poynting-flux-dominated flow and dri…
Studying particle acceleration from driven magnetic reconnection at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind using particle-in-cell simulations
Yingchao Lu, Fan Guo, Patrick Kilian +3
A rotating pulsar creates a surrounding pulsar wind nebula (PWN) by steadily releasing an energetic wind into the interior of the expanding shockwave of supernova remnant or inters…
Self-similar Blast Wave for A Two-component Fluid with Variable Adiabatic Index
Yiran Zhang, Edison Liang, Siming Liu
We propose a self-similar (SS) solution to hydrodynamic non-relativistic flow behind a spherical strong blast wave (BW) passing through a homogeneous plasma with efficient relativi…
Modeling hydrodynamics, magnetic fields and synthetic radiographs for high-energy-density plasma flows in shock-shear targets
Yingchao Lu, Shengtai Li, Hui Li +11
Three-dimensional FLASH radiation-magnetohydrodynamics (radiation-MHD) modeling is carried out to study the hydrodynamics and magnetic fields in the shock-shear derived platform. S…
MPRAD: A Monte Carlo and ray-tracing code for the proton radiography in high-energy-density plasma experiments
Yingchao Lu, Hui Li, Kirk A. Flippo +4
Proton radiography is used in various high-energy-density (HED) plasma experiments. In this paper, we describe a Monte Carlo and ray-tracing simulation tool called MPRAD that can b…
