Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 The last two decades have seen the emergence of a new field in stellar astrophysics, the study of stellar coronae mostly in X-ray domain. With the advent of soft X-ray imagery X-ray emission was found from many thousands of solar-like stars. I will summarize the most important findings of X-ray surveys of late type stars and put the results in the ...

Fusion Science and Technology, 2004 Stellarators are toroidal devices where the required rotational transform of the magnetic field lines is generated by external field coils and not via an induced net toroidal plasma current. This confinement scheme has the advantages that, in principle, steady-state plasma operation is possible and that it does not have to brace itself against ...

Heat Load Mitigation Studies in the W7‐X Stellarator Experiment
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During the experiments at the stellarator Wendelstein 7‐X (W7‐X) with fully water‐cooled plasma‐facing components (PFC), including carbon‐fiber composite (CFC) divertor targets with a thermal load capability of 10 MW/m2, high performance was achieved.

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986 We have been monitoring the CaII H and K emission in late-type giant stars using the Mt Wilson 60-inch telescope. It is a continuation of work that Olin Wilson began almost 20 years ago. As a result not only have starspot cycles been detected (equivalent to the solar sunspot cycle), but rotation periods have now been measured.

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Effective management of particle and power exhaust is essential for fusion reactor operation, requiring accurate 3D modeling of divertor physics. The EMC3 code is a well‐established Monte Carlo tool for plasma transport in stellarator edge regions, but until now lacked E×B$$ E\times B $$ and diamagnetic drifts.

Geometry effects on zonal flow dynamics and turbulent transport in optimized stellarators
Nuclear FusionGlobal gyrokinetic simulations find a strong suppression of ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence by zonal flows in stellarators optimized for neoclassical transport.

Effect of Magnetic Islands on Neoclassical Heat Diffusivity in a Global Tokamak Simulation
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) alter magnetic field topology via island formation and can modify core transport in toroidal fusion devices. Using the global gyrokinetic particle‐in‐cell code XGC‐S, originally developed for stellarator geometries, we quantify how island topology affects neoclassical heat transport in a circular tokamak ...

Exploring novel compact quasi-axisymmetric stellarators
Physical Review ResearchThe new class of compact quasi-axisymmetric stellarators with a wide range of field periods offers the unique potential to combine the advantages of the two leading magnetic confinement fusion devices, tokamaks and stellarators.

Towards a Mean‐Field Braginskii Model for Stellarators
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Experiments in the stellarator Wendelstein 7‐X indicate that particle drifts have a significant impact on the plasma in the scrape‐off layer. However, drift effects have been absent in the mean‐field transport codes such as EMC3‐Eirene. For this reason, we present the first steps towards a mean‐field model that incorporates drifts. The code is

Nuclear FusionDesigning a fusion energy device to produce as much energy as possible requires balancing numerous physics constraints and metrics. In stellarators, the geometry is very flexible and involves a large number of free parameters.
