Studies of high energy density physics and laboratory astrophysics driven by intense lasers

, 2016
Laser plasmas are capable of creating unique physical conditions with extreme high energy density, which are not only closely relevant to inertial fusion energy studies, but also to laboratory simulation of some astrophysical processes. In this paper, we

New Class of Laboratory Astrophysics Experiments: Application to Radiative Accretion Processes around Neutron Stars

Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Extreme radiative phenomena, where the radiation energy density and flux strongly influence the medium, are common in the universe. Nevertheless, because of limited or nonexistent observational and experimental data, the validity of theoretical and ...

General relativity and relativistic astrophysics

, 2016
Einstein established the theory of general relativity and the corresponding field equation in 1915 and its vacuum solutions were obtained by Schwarzschild and Kerr for, respectively, static and rotating black holes, in 1916 and 1963, respectively.

Fundamental Physics and Relativistic Laboratory Astrophysics with Extreme Power Lasers

, 2012
The prospects of using extreme relativistic laser-matter interactions for laboratory astrophysics are discussed. Laser-driven process simulation of matter dynamics at ultra-high energy density is proposed for the studies of astrophysical compact objects ...

Magnetic Reconnection in Extreme Astrophysical Environments

, 2011
Magnetic reconnection is a basic plasma process of dramatic rearrangement of magnetic topology, often leading to a violent release of magnetic energy. It is important in magnetic fusion and in space and solar physics --- areas that have so far provided ...

Observation of collapsing radiative shocks in laboratory experiments [PDF]

, 2006
This article reports the observation of the dense, collapsed layer produced by a radiative shock in a laboratory experiment. The experiment uses laser irradiation to accelerate a thin layer of solid-density material to above 100 km/s100km∕s, the first to

End of a Dark Age?

, 2016
We argue that dark matter and dark energy phenomena associated with galactic rotation curves, X-ray cluster mass profiles, and type Ia supernova data can be accounted for via small corrections to idealized general relativistic spacetime geometries due to
