The effects of turbulence on the mixing of gases and dust in the outer Solar nebula are examined using 3-D MHD calculations in the shearing-box approximation with vertical stratification. The turbulence is driven by the magneto-rotational…
Context. Observations have shown that twisted magnetic fields naturally occur, and indeed are omnipresent in the Sun's atmosphere. It is therefore of great theoretical interest in solar atmospheric waves research to investigate the types of…
The temporal property of the compressible magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence remains a fundamental unsolved question. Recent studies based on the spatial-temporal analysis in the global frame of reference suggest that the majority of…
Axial plugging is a critical challenge for fusion in open-ended magnetic confinement systems. Multi-mirror systems, consisting of a series of axially aligned magnetic mirrors, aim to enhance axial confinement by increasing the effective…
The intracluster medium (ICM) in the centers of galaxy clusters is heavily influenced by the ``feedback'' from supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Feedback can drive turbulence in the ICM and turbulent dissipation can potentially be an…
The interstellar turbulence is magnetized and thus anisotropic. The anisotropy of turbulent magnetic fields and velocities is imprinted in the related observables, rotation measures (RMs), and velocity centroids (VCs). This anisotropy…
A detailed understanding of cosmic-ray transport in galactic halos is essential for explaining various observations, such as the radio continuum measurements of synchrotron radiation from energetic electrons. Of central importance is the…
Variations in the spatial configuration of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the Sun can be constrained by comparing the ISMF direction at the heliosphere found from the Interstellar Boundary Explorer spacecraft (IBEX)…
Ruthenium thin films can serve as protective caps for multi-layer extreme ultraviolet mirrors exposed to atomic hydrogen. Hydrogen permeation through ruthenium is problematic as it leads to blisters on the mirrors. H has been shown to…
A simulation study of the magnetic electron drift vortex (MEDV) mode turbulence in a magnetoplasma in the presence of inhomogeneities in the plasma temperature and density, as well as in the external magnetic field, is presented. The study…
We present simulations of collapsing filaments studying the impact of turbulence and magnetic field morphologies on their evolution and star formation properties. We vary the mass per unit length of the filaments as well as the orientation…
Intra Cluster Media (ICMs) located at galaxy clusters is in the state of hot, tenuous, magnetized, and highly ionized X-ray emitting plasmas. This overall collisionless, viscous, and conductive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in ICM is…
The interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies is directly affected by the mass and energy outflows originating in regions of star formation. Magnetic fields are an essential ingredient of the ISM, but their connection to the gaseous medium and…
The interstellar medium (ISM) is ubiquitously turbulent across many physically distinct environments within the Galaxy. Turbulence is key in controlling the structure and dynamics of the ISM, regulating star formation, and transporting…
Magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) turbulence is ubiquitous in magnetized astrophysical plasmas, and it radically changes a great variety of astrophysical processes. In this review, we give the concept of MHD turbulence and explain the origin of…
Recent advances in understanding of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence call for substantial revisions in the picture of cosmic ray transport. In this paper we use recently obtained scaling laws for MHD modes to calculate the scattering…
The influence of the presence of cosmic fluid on the magnetosonic waves and modulation instabilities in the interstellar medium of spiral galaxies is investigated. The fluid model is developed by modifying the pressure equation in such…
Mirror modes are ubiquitous in space plasma and grow from pressure anisotropy. Together with other instabilities, they play a fundamental role in constraining the free energy contained in the plasma. This study focuses on mirror modes…
The IBEX-Lo instrument on the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission observes primary and secondary interstellar helium in its 4 lowest energy steps. Observations of these helium populations have been systematically analyzed and…
Turbulent motion driven by the magnetorotational instability (MRI) is believed to provide an anomalous viscosity strong enough to account for observed accretion rates in protostellar accretion disks. In the first of two papers, we perform…
