Spectral Imaging: Shock Fronts and Plasma Instabilities
نویسنده
چکیده
We present some of the results from mapping the turnover frequency, turnover ux and magnetic eld distributions in the parsec{scale jets of 3C 273 and 3C 345. We discuss the existing problems of VLBI image analysis related to the extraction of spectral information.

Shocks and Cold Fronts in Galaxy Clusters
The currently operating X-ray imaging observatories provide us with an exquisitely detailed view of the Megaparsec-scale plasma atmospheres in nearby galaxy clusters. At z < 0.05, the Chandra’s 1 angular resolution corresponds to linear resolution of less than a kiloparsec, which is smaller than some interesting linear scales in the intracluster plasma. This enables us to study the previously u...
متن کاملAcceleration Mechanics in Relativistic Shocks by the Weibel Instability
Plasma instabilities (e.g., Buneman, Weibel and other two-stream instabilities) created in collisionless shocks may be responsible for particle (electron, positron, and ion) acceleration. Using a 3-D relativistic electromagnetic particle (REMP) code, we have investigated particle acceleration associated with relativistic electron-ion or electron-positron jet fronts propagating into an unmagneti...
متن کاملArc Phenomena and Gasdynamic Effects due to Interaction of Shock Waves with Magnetic Fields
The arc phenomena occurring on interaction of shock-heated plasma with a magnetic field were studied in order to achieve an approximately uniform current distribution in a certain volume using a number of small electrodes. This is necessary for producing plane gasdynamical effects such as reflected shocks and one-dimensional flow behind them in order to compare experimental results with theory....
متن کاملExperimental and computational study of complex shockwave dynamics in laser ablation plumes in argon atmosphere
We investigated spatio-temporal evolution of ns laser ablation plumes at atmospheric pressure, a favored condition for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometry. The 1064 nm, 6 ns pulses from a Nd:YAG laser were focused on to an Al target and the generated plasma was allowed to expand in 1 atm Ar. The hydrodynamic expansion features wer...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration and Magnetic Field Generation in Electron - Positron Relativistic Shocks
Shock acceleration is an ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysical plasmas. Plasma waves and their associated instabilities (e.g., Buneman, Weibel and other two-stream instabilities) created in collisionless shocks are responsible for particle (electron, positron, and ion) acceleration. Using a 3-D relativistic electromagnetic particle (REMP) code, we have investigated particle acceleration associ...
