Concepts of several experimental configurations for the investigation of magnetized jets and their interaction with magnetized
environments are presented. In the planned experiments, the plasma jets will be created by laser ablation of shaped targets,
while magnetic and electric fields with the required configurations will be produced independently by a pulsed power generator.
In particular, the recently coupled Terawatt laser Tomcat and Terawatt pulsed power generator Zebra will be used for experiments. 相似文献

In recent years, with the development of megajoule-class laser, to create the physical conditions similar to those of extreme celestial environments in the laboratory has become possible. This makes scientists able to study some important astrophysical processes and physical phenomena in the laboratory. This paper briefly introduces several advances in the high energy density laboratory astrophysics driven by the National Ignition Facility (NIF), including the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in supernova remnants, the collisionless shock wave, the laser inertially-confined fusion detection of the thermonuclear reaction under the stellar core condition, the study of planetary interior state, the study of star formation, etc., which will provide a reference for the scientific experiments in the field of laboratory astrophysics performed by using the Shenguang IV laser facility under construction in China. Finally, the possible scientific issues relevant to the direction of laboratory astrophysics by using the Shenguang IV laser facility in the future are briefly discussed. 相似文献

It has recently been realized that the Weibel instability plays a major role in the formation and dynamics of astrophysical
shocks of gamma-ray bursts and supernovae. Thanks to technological advances in the recent years, experimental studies of the
Weibel instability are now possible in laser-plasma interaction devices. We, thus, have a unique opportunity to model and
study astrophysical conditions in laboratory experiments – a key goal of the Laboratory Astrophysics program. Here we briefly
review the theory of strong non-magnetized collisionless GRB and SN shocks, emphasizing the crucial role of the Weibel instability
and discuss the properties of radiation emitted by (isotropic) electrons moving through the Weibel-generated magnetic fields,
which is referred to as the jitter radiation. We demonstrate that the jitter radiation field is anisotropic with respect to
the direction of the Weibel current filaments and that its spectral and polarization characteristics are determined by microphysical
plasma parameters. We stress that the spectral analysis can be used for accurate diagnostics of the plasma conditions in laboratory
experiments and in astrophysical GRB and SN shocks. 相似文献

Scaling laws for interaction of ultra-intense laser beams with a collisionless plasmas are discussed. Special attention is
paid to the problem of the collective ion acceleration. Symmetry arguments in application to the generation of the poloidal
magnetic field are presented. A heuristic model for evaluating the magnetic field strength is proposed.

Strong magnetic fields were generated using a fast pulsed power generator, to investigate the interaction of plasma flows
with magnetic fields and magnetized background plasmas. The inductive loads used in these experiments were designed using
a filament and a finite element modeling approaches. Magnetic fields up to 2 MG (200 T) were measured by using the Faraday
rotation technique. 相似文献

With the data from WIND satellite in 1995—2005, the small-scale magnetic ?ux tubes determined with two methods, i.e., the arti?cial recognition and program selection respectively, are compared. It is found that there are magnetic reconnections in the boundary layers of 41% small-scale magnetic ?ux tubes determined with the program selection method, which is similar to the re- sult of small-scale magnetic ?ux tubes determined with the method of arti?cial recognition. The features of magnetic reconnections, such as the magnetic shear angle, magnetic ?eld strength, and duration of the dissipation region of recon- nection at the small-scale ?ux tubes’ boundaries determined from both methods have the same statistical tendency. This shows that there is no essential differ- ence in the properties of reconnections in the boundary layers of the small-scale magnetic ?ux tubes determined with the two methods. Hence the data yielded by both methods can be used as the samples for statistically studying the events of reconnection in the front and back boundary layers of small-scale ?ux ropes. There are totally 71 magnetic reconnection events selected in this paper. Our statistical result shows that in 50 events (70%) the decrease of magnetic ?eld strength in the dissipation region of reconnection is larger than 20%, and in 47 events (66%) the magnetic shear angle is larger than 90 degrees. These indicate that the magnetic reconnections in boundaries of the small-scale magnetic ?ux tubes are more likely to be anti-parallel. The statistics has been performed sep- arately in the reconnections of the front and back boundary layers of small-scale magnetic ?ux tubes. The results show that the features of reconnections in the front and back boundaries are similar to each other, which is different from the various properties in the front and back boundaries of the magnetic clouds, and this means that the expansion in the large-scale magnetic ?ux tubes, such as magnetic clouds, does not happen in the small-scale magnetic ?ux tubes. 相似文献

Analytical model of magnetic reconnection in the presence of shock waves attached to a current sheet
We consider a stationary two-dimensional model of magnetic reconnection in plasma. The model includes a current sheet and four MHD shock waves attached to its endpoints. The solution to the problem has been found in an analytical form that admits of efficient numerical implementation. We analyze in detail the structure of the magnetic field in the reconnection region and its variation with model parameters. 相似文献

In a previous publication (Dominik and Nübold, 2002, Icarus 157, 173-186), we presented analytical expressions and theoretical considerations concerning preplanetary dust aggregation with magnetized grains in the solar nebula. The present work is dedicated to the experimental study of magnetic aggregation in a ground-based laboratory as well as under microgravity conditions on parabolic flights. We conducted aggregation experiments with dust analogues in order to study the temporal evolution and the structural outcome of grain growth processes dominated by or comprising exclusively magnetic grains. Within aggregation times ranging from a couple of seconds to a few minutes only, formation of huge chain-like and/or web-like dust aggregates was observed. After aggregate retrieval we were able to study the sizes and structures of the aggregates in great detail. We established the fractal dimension of the aggregates as Dfs=1.20±0.05 for single chains and Dfc=1.50±0.21 for inter-connected web-like structures. This is considerably lower than for non-magnetic grain growth. The dynamic exponent z for the mass increase with time according to tz was found to be z=2.7 from in-situ video images of the microgravity aggregation runs. The results are compared with the theoretical considerations presented earlier as well as with previous experimental work on the same and on related topics, respectively. 相似文献

Using RHESSI and some auxiliary observations we examine possible connections between the spatial and temporal structure of
nonthermal hard X-ray (HXR) emission sources from the two-ribbon flares of 29 May 2003 and 19 January 2005. In each of these
events quasi-periodic pulsations (QPP) with time period of 1 – 3 minutes are evident in both hard X rays and microwaves. The
sources of nonthermal HXR emission are situated mainly at the footpoints of the flare arcade loops observed by TRACE and the
SOHO/EIT instrument in the EUV range. At least one of the sources moves systematically during and after the QPP phase in each
flare. The sources move predominantly parallel to the magnetic inversion line during the 29 May flare and along flare ribbons
during the QPP phase of both flares. By contrast, the sources start to show movement perpendicular to the flare ribbons with
velocity comparable to that along the ribbons’ movement after the QPP phase. The sources of each pulse are localized in distinct
parts of the ribbon during the QPP phase. The measured velocity of the sources and the estimated energy release rate do not
correlate well with the flux of the HXR emission calculated from these sources. The sources of microwaves and thermal HXRs
are situated near the apex of the flare loop arcade and are not stationary either. Almost all of the QPP as well as some pulses
of nonthermal HXR emission during the post-QPP phase reveal soft – hard – soft spectral behavior, indicating separate acts
of electron acceleration and injection. In our opinion at least two different flare scenarios based on the Nakariakov et al. (2006, Astron. Astrophys.
452, 343) model and on the idea of current-carrying loop coalescence are suitable for interpreting the observations. However,
it is currently not possible to choose between them owing to observational limitations. 相似文献

The solar wind conditions at one astronomical unit (AU) can be strongly disturbed by interplanetary coronal mass ejections
(ICMEs). A subset, called magnetic clouds (MCs), is formed by twisted flux ropes that transport an important amount of magnetic
flux and helicity, which is released in CMEs. At 1 AU from the Sun, the magnetic structure of MCs is generally modeled by
neglecting their expansion during the spacecraft crossing. However, in some cases, MCs present a significant expansion. We
present here an analysis of the huge and significantly expanding MC observed by the Wind spacecraft during 9 – 10 November 2004. This MC was embedded in an ICME. After determining an approximate orientation for
the flux rope using the minimum variance method, we obtain a precise orientation of the cloud axis by relating its front and
rear magnetic discontinuities using a direct method. This method takes into account the conservation of the azimuthal magnetic
flux between the inbound and outbound branches and is valid for a finite impact parameter (i.e., not necessarily a small distance between the spacecraft trajectory and the cloud axis). The MC is also studied using dynamic
models with isotropic expansion. We have found (6.2±1.5)×1020 Mx for the axial flux and (78±18)×1020 Mx for the azimuthal flux. Moreover, using the direct method, we find that the ICME is formed by a flux rope (MC) followed
by an extended coherent magnetic region. These observations are interpreted by considering the existence of a previously larger
flux rope, which partially reconnected with its environment in the front. We estimate that the reconnection process started
close to the Sun. These findings imply that the ejected flux rope is progressively peeled by reconnection and transformed
to the observed ICME (with a remnant flux rope in the front part). 相似文献

To propel a spacecraft in the direction leaving the Sun, a magnetic sail (MagSail) blocks the hypersonic solar wind plasma
flow by an artificial magnetic field. In order to simulate the interaction between the solar wind and the artificially deployed
magnetic field produced around a magnetic sail spacecraft, a laboratory simulator was designed and constructed inside a space
chamber. As a solar wind simulator, a high-power magnetoplasmadynamic arcjet is operated in a quasisteady mode of 0.8 ms duration.
It can generate a simulated solar wind that is a high-speed (above 20 km/s), high-density (1018 m−3) hydrogen plasma plume of ∼0.7 m in diameter. A small coil (2 cm in diameter), which is to simulate a magnetic sail spacecraft
and can obtain 1.9-T magnetic field strength at its center, was immersed inside the simulated solar wind. Using these devices,
the formation of a magnetic cavity (∼8 cm in radius) was observed around the coil, which indicates successful simulation of
the plasma flow of a MagSail in the laboratory. 相似文献

Spectroheliograms and disk-integrated flux monitoring in the strong resonance line of Ca ii (K line) provide the longest record of chromospheric magnetic plages. We compare recent reductions of the Ca ii K spectroheliograms obtained since 1907 at the Kodaikanal, Mt. Wilson, and US National Solar Observatories. Certain differences
between the individual plage indices appear to be caused mainly by differences in the spectral passbands used. Our main finding
is that the indices show remarkably consistent behavior on the multidecadal time scales of greatest interest to global warming
studies. The reconstruction of solar ultraviolet flux variation from these indices differs significantly from the 20th-century
global temperature record. This difference is consistent with other findings that, although solar UV irradiance variation
may affect climate through influence on precipitation and storm tracks, its significance in global temperature remains elusive. 相似文献

Using magnetograms, EUV and Hα images, Owens Valley Solar Array microwave observations, and 212-GHz flux density derived from
the Solar Submillimeter Telescope data, we determine the spatial characteristics of the 1B/M6.9 flare that occurred on November
28, 2001, starting at 16:26 UT in active region (AR) NOAA 9715. This flare is associated with a chromospheric mass ejection
or surge observed at 16:42 UT in the Hα images. We compute the coronal magnetic field under the linear force-free field assumption,
constrained by the photospheric data of the Michelson Doppler Imager and loops observed by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging
Telescope. The analysis of the magnetic field connectivity allows us to conclude that magnetic field reconnection between
two different coronal/chromospheric sets of arches was at the origin of the flare and surge, respectively. The optically thick
microwave spectrum at peak time shows a shape compatible with the emission from two different sites. Fitting gyrosynchrotron
emission to the observed spectrum, we derive parameters for each source.
