The Madison plasma dynamo experiment: a facility for studying laboratory plasma astrophysics [PDF]

, 2013
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment (MPDX) is a novel, versatile, basic plasma research device designed to investigate flow driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and other high-$\beta$ phenomena with astrophysically relevant parameters.

Automatic Classification of Plasma Regions in Near-Earth Space With Supervised Machine Learning: Application to Magnetospheric Multi Scale 2016–2019 Observations

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
The proper classification of plasma regions in near-Earth space is crucial to perform unambiguous statistical studies of fundamental plasma processes such as shocks, magnetic reconnection, waves and turbulence, jets and their combinations.

Introduction to nuclear astrophysics

, 2009
In the first lecture of this volume, we will present the basic fundamental ideas regarding nuclear processes occurring in stars. We start from stellar observations, will then elaborate on some important quantum-mechanical phenomena governing nuclear ...

Non-thermal electron acceleration in turbulent, post-flare coronal loops

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The generation of energetic, non-thermal electrons during solar flares plays a critical role in energy transportation from the corona to the chromosphere, producing regions of observed intense X-ray emission.

The role of lateral magnetic reconnection in solar eruptive events [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2009
On 10–11 December 2005 a slow CME occurred in between two coronal streamers in the Western Hemisphere. SOHO/MDI magnetograms show a multipolar magnetic configuration at the photosphere consisting of a complex of active regions located at the CME ...

Formation of dense, electromagnetically accelerated plasma for laboratory astrophysics

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We proposed tapered pinch discharge as a measure to conduct laboratory astrophysics experiments. Basic behaviors of the plasma have been characterized using a prototype device. Results show that the plasma flux and velocity depend on initial gas density,
