Three-dimensional Dynamical Instabilities in Galactic Ionization Fronts
Ionization front instabilities have long been of interest for their suspected role in a variety of phenomena in the galaxy, from the formation of bright rims and ’elephant trunks’ in nebulae to triggered star formation in molecular clouds. Numerical treatments of these instabilities have historically been limited in both dimensionality and input physics, leaving important questions about their ...
متن کاملRelativistic Ionization Fronts
We derive the equations for the propagation of relativistic ionization fronts (I-fronts) in both static and moving gases, including the cosmologically-expanding intergalactic medium (IGM). We focus on the supersonic R-type phase that occurs right after a source turns on, and we compare the nonrelativistic and relativistic solutions for several important cases. Relativistic corrections can be si...
متن کاملDisk Instabilities and Cooling Fronts
Accretion disk outbursts, and their subsequent decline, offer a unique opportunity to constrain the physics of angular momentum transport in hot accretion disks. Recent work has centered on the claim by Cannizzo et al. that the exponential decay of luminosity following an outburst in black hole accretion disk systems is only consistent with a particular form for the dimensionless viscosity, α =...
متن کاملRelativistic runaway ionization fronts.
We investigate the first example of self-consistent impact ionization fronts propagating at relativistic speeds and involving interacting, high-energy electrons. These fronts, which we name relativistic runaway ionization fronts, show remarkable features such as a bulk speed within less than one percent of the speed of light and the stochastic selection of high-energy electrons for further acce...
متن کاملSpectral Imaging: Shock Fronts and Plasma Instabilities
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.
