Laboratory astrophysics and collimated stellar outflows: The production of radiatively cooled hypersonic plasma jets

SV Lebedev, JP Chittenden, FN Beg… - The Astrophysical …, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first results of astrophysically relevant experiments where highly supersonic
plasma jets are generated via conically convergent flows. The convergent flows are created …

Enhanced plasma transport due to neutral depletion

A Fruchtman, G Makrinich, P Chabert, JM Rax - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
The dynamics of plasma and neutral gas in pressure balance are solved self-consistently to
reveal the impact of neutral depletion. Analytical relations that determine the electron …

Astrophysical jets and outflows

EMG Dal Pino - Advances in Space Research, 2005 - Elsevier
Highly collimated supersonic jets and less collimated outflows are observed to emerge from
a wide variety of astrophysical objects. They are seen in young stellar objects (YSOs), proto …

Formation of protostellar jets–effects of magnetic diffusion

C Fendt, M Čemeljić - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002 - aanda.org
Protostellar jets most probably originate in turbulent accretion disks surrounding young
stellar objects. We investigate the evolution of a disk wind into a collimated jet under the …

Magnetic fields in stellar jets

P Hartigan, A Frank, P Varniére… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
Although several lines of evidence suggest that jets from young stars are driven
magnetically from accretion disks, existing observations of field strengths in the bow shocks …

Study of the bipolar jet of the YSO Th 28 with VLT/SINFONI: Jet morphology and H2 emission

S Melnikov, PA Boley, NS Nikonova… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. The young stellar object (YSO) Th 28 possesses a highly collimated jet, which

Three-fluid plasmas in star formation-I. Magneto-hydrodynamic equations

C Pinto, D Galli, F Bacciotti - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2008 - aanda.org
Context. Interstellar magnetic fields influence all stages of the process of star formation, from
the collapse of molecular cloud cores to the formation and evolution of circumstellar disks …

Magnetohydrodynamic models of axisymmetric protostellar jets

JM Stone, PE Hardee - The Astrophysical Journal, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the results of a series of axisymmetric time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) simulations of the propagation of cooling, overdense jets. Our numerical models are …

MHD simulations of radiative jets from young stellar objects-H emission

F De Colle, AC Raga - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006 - aanda.org
We study the Hα emission from jets using two-dimensional axisymmetrical simulations. We
compare the emission obtained from hydrodynamic (HD) simulations with that obtained from …

Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of radiatively cooling, pulsed jets

AH Cerqueira, EMG Dal Pino - The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We here investigate, by means of fully three-dimensional smoothed particle
magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations, the effects of different initial magnetic field …
