Magnetic reconnection is a topological rearrangement of magnetic field that converts
magnetic energy to plasma energy. Astrophysical flares, from the Earth's magnetosphere to …

▪ Abstract Extragalactic jets were discovered and initially studied by radio astronomers in
connection with extended radio sources. At present, the combination of jets and disks is …

In simulations of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes the violation of the divergence
constraint causes severe stability problems. In this paper we develop and test a new …

A review of the present status of the theory of magnetic reconnection is given. In strongly
collisional plasmas reconnection proceeds via resistive current sheets, ie quasi-stationary …

The standard treatment of cooling in cold dark matter haloes assumes that all of the gas
within a 'cooling radius' cools and contracts monolithically to fuel galaxy formation. Here we …

Molecular cloud complexes (MCCs) are highly structured and" turbulent." Observational
evidence suggests that MCCs are dynamically dominated systems, rather than quasi …

We present and compare third-as well as fifth-order accurate finite difference schemes for
the numerical solution of the compressible ideal MHD equations in multiple spatial …

Using a new numerical code we have carried out two-dimensional simulations of the
nonlinear evolution of unstable sheared magnetohydrodynamic flows. We considered two …

We investigate the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability occurring at the interface of a shear-flow
configuration in 2D compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The linear growth and the …
