MHD Stability of ISM Phase Transition Layers I: Magnetic Field Orthogonal to Front
We consider the scenario of a magnetic field orthogonal to a front separating two media of different temperatures and densities, such as cold and warm neutral interstellar gas, in a 2-D plane-parallel geometry. A linear stability analysis is performed to assess the behavior of both evaporation and condensation fronts when subject to incompressible, corrugational perturbations with wavelengths l...
متن کاملStructure and Stability of Phase Transition Layers in Interstellar Medium
We analyze the structure and stability of the transition layer (or front) that connect the cold neutral medium and warm neutral medium in the plane-parallel geometry. Such fronts appear in recent numerical simulations of thermally bistable interstellar medium. The front becomes the evaporation or condensation front depending on surrounding pressure. The stability analysis was done by long and s...

متن کاملMHD Turbulence in Star-Forming Regions and the Interstellar Medium
MHD turbulence plays a central role in the physics of star-forming molecular clouds and the interstellar medium. I here show that MHD turbulence in molecular clouds must be driven to account for the observed supersonic motions in the clouds, as even strongly magnetized turbulence decays quickly. I then show that driven MHD turbulence can globally support gravitationally unstable regions, but lo...
متن کاملPhase transition induced by a magnetic field
The magnetic catalysis of discrete chiral symmetry breaking in the 2+1 dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is analyzed. A particular attention is paid to a possible application of the effect in solid state physics. The fermion contribution to the thermal conductivity as a function of the dynamical mass (energy gap in the spectrum) is estimated and is shown to be suppressed when a non-zero orde...
