Simulation of a Perpendicular Bow Shock
Mach number cases, whose laminar structures have been adequately described by magnetosonic Simulations of a high Mach number shock with wavetrains that scale as C/mpe ITidman and Krall, parameters typical of the earth's bow hock have 1971). Computer simulations including both been performed using a hybrid (particle ions, electron and ion scales, have significantly fluid electrons) code. The sim...
متن کاملPulsar bow - shock nebulae II . Hydrodynamical Simulation
We present hydrodynamical simulations, using a 2-D two component model (ambient medium and pulsar wind have different specific heat ratios), of bow shocks in a representative regime for pulsar wind driven bow-shock nebulae. We also investigate the behaviour of a passive toroidal magnetic field wound around the pulsar velocity direction. Moreover we estimate the opacity of the bow-shock to penet...
متن کاملThe effect of ECRH on the electron velocity distribution function
Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) is a mature technology that has progressed constantly over a period of forty years, particularly as a tool in magnetic confinement fusion. As with other heating methods, this technique has seen a steady increase in the sophistication of its applications, from bulk heating through profile tailoring and finally to distribution function engineering. By c...
متن کاملBow-shock induced star formation in the LMC?
The structure of supergiant shells, in particular of LMC 4, is hard to explain with stochastic self-propagating star formation. A series of supergiant structures lies along the outer edge of the LMC and form a sequence increasing clockwise in age. We have considered the rotation of the LMC and its motion through the halo of the Milky Way and propose that these structures find their origin in st...
متن کاملThe bow shock and jet in L 483
The physical parameters of jets are still poorly understood. Here we present long slit spectra of the molecular hydrogen emission from the jet powered by the young stellar object in L483, from which we obtain details of the jet structure and shock velocities. The jet has a knotty structure, and, in addition, weaker emission is seen between the knots, so that emission is observed along the full ...
