Abstract: | The 'plasmon' solution of De Young & Axford describes the interaction between a high-velocity clump and the surrounding medium. Even though this solution is probably too simplistic, it has proven to be most useful in the study of diverse astrophysical flows. In the present paper, we discuss a more detailed solution of the plasmon problem, which includes the centrifugal effects of the environmental material flowing around the plasmon. We derive both numerical and approximate analytic solutions of this problem, and compare them with the analytic solution of De Young & Axford. |
