The evolution of magnetic tower jets in the laboratory
A. Ciardi, S. V. Lebedev, A. Frank +12
The evolution of laboratory produced magnetic jets is followed numerically through three-dimensional, non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The experiments are designed to stu…
Isolated vs. Common Envelope Dynamos in Planetary Nebula Progenitors
J. Nordhaus, E. G. Blackman, A. Frank
The origin, evolution and role of magnetic fields in the production and shaping of proto-planetary and planetary nebulae (PPNe, PNe) is a subject of active research. Most PNe and P…
Understanding the saturation of proton-driven Weibel instabilities and implications for astrophysics
Chuang Ren, Eric G. Blackman, Wen-fai Fong
The linear growth rate and saturation level of magnetic fields for Weibel instabilities driven by ion temperature anisotropy, defined as where …
Empirical relation between angular momentum transport and thermal-to-magnetic pressure ratio in shearing box simulations
Eric G. Blackman, Robert F. Penna, Peggy Varniere
By combining data from different published 3-D simulations of Keplerian shearing boxes unstable to the magnetorotational instability (MRI), we highlight tight anti-correlations bet…
3D MHD Simulations of Laboratory Plasma Jets
A. Ciardi, S. V. Lebedev, A. Frank +11
Jets and outflows are thought to be an integral part of accretion phenomena and are associated with a large variety of objects. In these systems, the interaction of magnetic fields…
Astrophysical Explosions Driven by a Rotating, Magnetized, Gravitating Sphere
Sean Matt, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman +1
We present the results of a numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulation that demonstrates a mechanism by which magnetic fields tap rotational energy of a stellar core and expel the en…
