Our Local Astrophysical Laboratory
Science, 2006The behavior of the orbiting bodies within Saturn's rings, now being closely observed by the Cassini spacecraft, can inform our understanding of the birth of extrasolar planets.

Laboratory surface astrophysics experiment
Review of Scientific Instruments, 2002In this article we describe the design and construction of a laboratory astrophysics experiment that recreates the harsh conditions of the Interstellar Medium (ISM) and is used to study the heterogeneous chemistry that occurs there. The Nottingham Surface Astrophysics Experiment is used to determine, empirically, accurately, and usually for the first ...

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2003
▪ Abstract Targeted laboratory astrophysics measurements are being conducted to address the needs of X-ray astronomy. The measurements are producing large sets of reliable atomic data, which include ionization and recombination cross sections for charge balance calculations, as well as line lists, excitation cross sections, and dielectronic ...

Laboratory models for astrophysical jets
Journal de Physique IV (Proceedings), 2006In this paper we will discuss possible links between astrophysical models and observations, with several recent laboratory astrophysics experiments [4-10] performed on laser and pulsed-power facilities which are aimed at tackling some of the issues relevant to jets associated with young stellar objects.

Solar eclipses as an astrophysical laboratory
Nature, 2009Observations of the Sun during total eclipses have led to major discoveries, such as the existence of helium (from its spectrum), the high temperature of the corona (though the reason for the high temperature remains controversial), and the role of magnetic fields in injecting energy into-and trapping ionized gases within-stellar atmospheres.

Laboratory Astrophysics and Scaling
2009This chapter is a summary of lectures intended to introduce the concept of scaling to graduate students. Specifically, we address whether astrophysical phenomena may be addressed using ‘scaled’ versions of the same processes in experiments in the laboratory.

Transsonic Instabilities in Laboratory and Astrophysical Plasmas
Physica Scripta, 2004Waves and instabilities of transsonically rotating axisymmetric plasmas present a highly complex problem that is of interest for two unrelated fields of research, viz. laboratory tokamak confinement for the eventual thermonuclear energy production and the dynamics of a vast number of astrophysical plasmas rotating about compact objects, broadly ...
