Protostellar Jets and Turbulence in Molecular Clouds: The Role of Interactions
Andrew J. Cunningham, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman
We present a series of numerical studies of the interaction of colliding radiative, hydrodynamic young stellar outflows. We study the effect of the collision impact parameter on th…
Planets Rapidly Create Holes in Young Circumstellar Discs
P. Varniere, E. G. Blackman, A. Frank +1
Recent spectral observations by the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) reveal that some discs around young ( yr old) stars have remarkably sharp transitions…
The shock reprocessing model of electron acceleration in impulsive solar flares
Robert Selkowitz, Eric G. Blackman
We propose a new two-stage model for acceleration of electrons in solar flares. In the first stage, electrons are accelerated stochastically in a post-reconnection turbulent downfl…
On particle acceleration and trapping by Poynting flux dominated flows
Gunnar Paesold, Eric G. Blackman, Peter Messmer
Using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we study the evolution of a strongly magnetized plasma slab propagating into a finite density ambient medium. Like previous work, we find…
Flux Modulation from Non-Axisymmetric Stuctures in Accretion Discs
P. Varniere, E. Blackman
Non-axisymmetric accretion discs can lead to flux variability. Here we provide an analytic framework for modeling non-axisymmetric structures like hotspots and spiral waves and the…
Magnetic Tower Outflows from a Radial Wire Array Z-pinch
S. . V. Lebedev, A. Ciardi, D. Ampleford +8
We present the first results of high energy density laboratory astrophysics experiments which explore the evolution of collimated outflows and jets driven by a toroidal magnetic fi…
