Influence of inhomogeneous stochasticity on the falsifiability of mean-field theories and examples from accretion disc modeling
Hongzhe Zhou, Eric G. Blackman
Despite spatial and temporal fluctuations in turbulent astrophysical systems, mean-field theories can be used to describe their secular evolution. However, observations taken over…
Turbulence and order in magnetized flowing plasmas
Fatima Ebrahimi, Eric Blackman, Wendell Horton
This whitepaper was submitted to the 2019-2020 APS-DPP-CPP (American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics Community Planning Process) on plasma discovery science. It highlig…
Successive common envelope events from multiple planets
Luke Chamandy, Eric G. Blackman, Jason Nordhaus +1
Many stars harbour multi-planet systems. As these stars expand late in their evolutions, the innermost planet may be engulfed, leading to a common envelope (CE) event. Even if this…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
Necessity of ventilation for mitigating virus transmission quantified simply
Eric G. Blackman, Gourab Ghoshal
To mitigate the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, officials have employed social distancing and stay-at-home measures, with increased attention to room ventilation emerging only more recently.…
Common Envelope Evolution on the Asymptotic Giant Branch: Unbinding within a Decade?
Luke Chamandy, Eric G. Blackman, Adam Frank +2
Common envelope (CE) evolution is a critical but still poorly understood progenitor phase of many high-energy astrophysical phenomena. Although 3D global hydrodynamic CE simulation…
