Collisionless microinstabilities in stellarators. II. Numerical simulations [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of Plasmas, 2013
Microinstabilities exhibit a rich variety of behavior in stellarators due to the many degrees of freedom in the magnetic geometry. It has recently been found that certain stellarators (quasi-isodynamic ones with maximum-J geometry) are partly resilient ...

Neoclassical transport simulations for stellarators [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of Plasmas, 2011
The benchmarking of the thermal neoclassical transport coefficients is described using examples of the Large Helical Device (LHD) and TJ-II stellarators.

Stellarators and Optimised Stellarators

Fusion Technology, 1998
The properties of a classical stellarator will be described and the need to optimise stellarators will be motivated. The principles of optimisation will be presented. W7-AS, a partly optimised modular stellarator, will be briefly introduced and some results with relevance to its optimised properties will be summarised.

Results from helical axis stellarators [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of Plasmas, 2001
Helical axis stellarators produce magnetic surfaces of high rotational transform and moderate shear solely by means of external currents, with the promise of high b.

The Stellarator Concept

IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 1958
The basic concepts of the controlled thermonuclear program at Project Matterhorn, Princeton University are discussed. In particular, the theory of confinement of a fully ionized gas in the magnetic configuration of the stellarator is given, the theories of heating are outlined, and the bearing of observational results on these theories is described.

Transport in stellarators

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 1993
The local electron and ion heat transport as well as the particle and impurity transport properties in stellarators are reviewed. In this context, neoclassical theory is used as a guideline for the comparison of the experimental results of the quite different confinement concepts.

Stellar Radii

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997
Observing a stellar radius basically means observing a center-to-limb intensity variation. The significance and properties of center-to-limb variations, common approximations, the correlation with optical-depth radii in extended-photophere stars, and direct measurements of angular (interferometry, lunar occultation) and absolute diameters (binary ...

Stellar magnetism

Proceedings of the 2011 companion on High Performance Computing Networking, Storage and Analysis Companion, 2011
A Sun-like star undergoes magnetic cyclic reversal shown by field lines colored by the longitudinal magnetic field. Shifts in positive and negative polarity demonstrate large-scale polarity changes in the star. One such cycle is shown, and at the end of the visualization, the magnetic poles are reversed. Wreath-like areas in the magnetic field could be
