Turbulence and Magnetic Fields in Astrophysical Plasmas
Magnetic fields permeate the Universe. They are found in planets, stars, accretion discs, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and the intergalactic medium. While there is often a component of the field that is spatially coherent at the scale of the astrophysical object, the field lines are tangled chaotically and there are magnetic fluctuations at scales that range over orders of magnitude. The cau...
متن کاملNeutrino dispersion in external magnetic fields
We calculate the neutrino self-energy operator Σ(p) in the presence of a magnetic field B. In particular, we consider the weak-field limit eB ≪ ml , where ml is the charged-lepton mass corresponding to the neutrino flavor νl, and we consider a “moderate field” m 2 l ≪ eB ≪ mW . Our results differ substantially from the previous literature. For a moderate field, we show that it is crucial to inc...
متن کاملRelation between magnetic fields and electric currents in plasmas
Maxwell’s equations allow the magnetic field B to be calculated if the electric current density J is assumed to be completely known as a function of space and time. The charged particles that constitute the current, however, are subject to Newton’s laws as well, and J can be changed by forces acting on charged particles. Particularly in plasmas, where the concentration of charged particles is h...
متن کاملStretching magnetic fields by dynamo plasmas in Riemannian knotted tubes
Recently Shukurov et al [Phys Rev E 72, 025302 (2008)], made use of nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinate system on a dynamo Moebius strip flow, to investigate the effect of stretching by a turbulent liquid sodium flow. In plasma physics, Chui and Moffatt [Proc Roy Soc A 451,609,(1995)] (CM), considered non-orthogonal coordinates to investigate knotted magnetic flux tube Riemann metric. Here it ...
متن کاملStability of Axisymmetric Plasmas in Closed Line Magnetic Fields
The stability of axisymmetric plasmas confined by closed poloidal magnetic field lines is considered. The results are relevant to plasmas in the dipolar fields of stars and planets, as well as the Levitated Dipole Experiment, multipoles, Z pinches and field reversed configurations. The ideal MHD energy principle is employed to study the stability of pressure driven shear Alfvén modes. A point d...
