Laboratory disruption of scaled astrophysical outflows by a misaligned magnetic field

Nature Communications, 2021
Mass outflow is a common process in astrophysical objects. Here the authors investigate in which conditions an astrophysically-scaled laser-produced plasma flow can be collimated and evolves in the presence of a misaligned external magnetic field.

Quantum Iterative Methods for Solving Differential Equations with Application to Computational Fluid Dynamics

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
Quantum algorithms for differential equations are developed with applications in computational fluid dynamics. The methods follow an iterative simulation framework, implementing Jacobi and Gauss–Seidel schemes on quantum registers through linear combinations of unitaries.

Synchrotron Firehose Instability

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We demonstrate using linear theory and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations that a synchrotron-cooling collisionless plasma acquires pressure anisotropy and, if the plasma beta is sufficiently high, becomes unstable to the firehose instability, in a ...

Anomalous‐Energy Runaway Electrons Originating in Fast Ionisation Wave During Pulsed Gas Breakdown

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anomalous‐energy runaway electrons (RAEs), whose energy exceeds the maximum potential difference across the discharge gap, are widely observed in various plasma phenomena. This study investigates the origination of anomalous‐energy RAEs in fast ionisation waves (FIWs) formed during pulsed gas breakdown.

Rapid terrestrial weathering of the CI1 carbonaceous chondrite find Oued Chebeika 002

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Alteration of historic CI1 meteorite falls during their curation demonstrates the susceptibility of smectite‐rich carbonaceous chondrites to terrestrial exposure. The discovery of Oued Chebeika 002 in Morocco in June 2024 presents a unique opportunity to document the earliest stages of weathering of a CI1 find.

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

Extreme Plasma Astrophysics

, 2019
This is a science white paper submitted to the Astro-2020 and Plasma-2020 Decadal Surveys. The paper describes the present status and emerging opportunities in Extreme Plasma Astrophysics -- a study of astrophysically-relevant plasma processes taking place under extreme conditions that necessitate taking into account relativistic, radiation, and QED ...

Measurement of the plasma astrophysical S factor for the 3He(d,p)4He reaction in exploding molecular clusters. [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2013
The plasma astrophysical S factor for the 3He(d,p)4He fusion reaction was measured for the first time at temperatures of few keV, using the interaction of intense ultrafast laser pulses with molecular deuterium clusters mixed with 3He atoms.

The effect of early diagenetic processes on the quantification of fossil micrometeorite abundance and flux in the geological record

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

Simultaneous macroscale and microscale wave–ion interaction in near-earth space plasmas

Nature Communications, 2022
Cross-scale energy transfers in collisionless plasmas help understanding involved mechanisms. Here, the authors show simultaneous macro- and micro-scale wave-ion interactions provide an efficient mechanism for cross-scale energy transfer and plasma ...
