Nonlinear Simulations of the Heat Flux Driven Buoyancy Instability and its Implications for Galaxy Clusters
Ian J. Parrish, Eliot Quataert
In low collisionality plasmas heat flows almost exclusively along magnetic field lines, and the condition for stability to convection is modified from the standard Schwarzschild cr…
Kinetic Simulations of Magnetized Turbulence in Astrophysical Plasmas
G. G. Howes, W. Dorland, S. C. Cowley +4
This letter presents the first ab initio, fully electromagnetic, kinetic simulations of magnetized turbulence in a homogeneous, weakly collisional plasma at the scale of the ion La…
Buoyancy Instabilities in Weakly Magnetized Low Collisionality Plasmas
Eliot Quataert
I calculate the linear stability of a stratified low collisionality plasma in the presence of a weak magnetic field. Heat is assumed to flow only along magnetic field lines. In the…
On the Conditions for Neutron-Rich Gamma-Ray Burst Outflows
Brian D. Metzger, Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert
We calculate the structure and neutron content of neutrino-heated MHD winds driven from the surface of newly-formed magnetars (``proto-magnetars'') and from the midplane of hyper-a…
Dissipation-Scale Turbulence in the Solar Wind
Gregory G. Howes, Steven C. Cowley, William Dorland +3
We present a cascade model for turbulence in weakly collisional plasmas that follows the nonlinear cascade of energy from the large scales of driving in the MHD regime to the small…
Relativistic Jets and Long-Duration Gamma-ray Bursts from the Birth of Magnetars
N. Bucciantini, E. Quataert, J. Arons +2
We present time-dependent axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interaction of a relativistic magnetized wind produced by a proto-magnetar with a surrounding stellar…
