Observation of collapsing radiative shocks in laboratory experiments
This article reports the observation of the dense, collapsed layer produced by a radiative shock in a laboratory experiment. The experiment uses laser irradiation to accelerate a thin layer of solid-density material to above 100 km/s, the first to probe such high velocities in a radiative shock. The layer in turn drives a shock wave through a cylindrical volume of Xe gas at 6 mg/cm3 . Radiation...
متن کاملRadiative Shocks in Astrophysics and the Laboratory
This paper explores the variations in radiative shock behavior originating from the properties of the system containing the shock. Specifically, the optical depth of the upstream region and the downstream region both affect the behavior of radiative shocks. Optically thick systems such as stellar interiors or supernovae permit only limited shock-induced increases in density. At the other limit,...
متن کاملSimulating Astrophysical Jets in Laboratory Experiments
Pulsed power technology and appropriate boundary conditions have been used to create simulations of magnetically driven astrophysical jets in a laboratory experiment. The experiments are quite reproducible and involve a distinct sequence. Eight initial flux tubes, corresponding to eight gas injection locations, merge to form the jet which lengthens, collimates, and eventually kinks. A model dev...

متن کاملNarrow radiative recombination continua: A Signature of ions crossing the contact discontinuity of astrophysical shocks
X-rays from planetary nebulae (PNs) are believed to originate from a shock driven into the fast stellarwind (v ∼ 1000 km s−1) as it collides with an earlier circumstellar slow wind (v ∼ 10 km s−1). In theory, the shocked fast wind (hot bubble) and the ambient cold nebula can remain separated by magnetic fields along a surface referred to as the contact discontinuity (CD) that inhibits diffusion...
