Magnetohydrodynamic Shearing Waves
I consider the nonaxisymmetric linear theory of an isothermal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shear flow. The analysis is performed in the shearing box, a local model appropriate for a thin disk geometry. Linear perturbations in this model can be decomposed in terms of shearing waves (shwaves), which appear spatially as plane waves in a frame comoving with the shear. The time dependence of these wave...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic Density Waves in a Composite Disk System of Interstellar Medium and Cosmic-Ray Gas
Multi-wavelength observations from radio to soft X-ray bands of large-scale galactic spiral structures offer synthesized and comprehensive views of nearby disk galaxies. In the presence of a massive dark-matter halo, the density-wave dynamics on galactic scales involves the stellar disk, the gas disk of interstellar medium (ISM), the magnetic field, and the cosmic-ray gas (CRG). In this paper, ...
متن کاملRadio Astronomy with RASDR2
The RASDR design team is releasing a software-defined receiver (SDR) for radio astronomy called RASDR2 7 . The receiver consists of two high-density circuit boards -a wide-band femtocell 8 chip on the front end analog interface MyriadRF board 9 linked to a DigiRed digitization and function control board -coupled to a computer via either a USB2 or USB3 interface. RASDRViewer software runs in a W...
متن کاملNational Radio Astronomy Observatory
Measurements of microwave attenuation at room temperature and 4.2 K have been performed on some conductors commonly used in receiver input circuits. The reduction in loss on cooling is substantial, particularly for copper and plated gold, both of which showed a factor of 3 loss reduction. Copper passivated with benzotriazole shows the same loss as without passivation. The residual resistivity r...
متن کاملThe discovery of magnetohydrodynamic waves
The discovery of magnetohydrodynamic waves was a major breakthrough in plasma physics and its applications to space physics and fusion research. The waves were discovered by Hannes Alfvén and are therefore also called Alfvén Waves. The discovery was typical of Alfvén’s outstanding ability to derive results of great generality from analysis of specific problems—in this case, the sunspots and the...
