ON THE STRUCTURE AND STABILITY OF MAGNETIC TOWER JETS

Journal Article Huarte-Espinosa, M.; Frank, A.; Blackman, E.; ... - Astrophysical Journal

Modern theoretical models of astrophysical jets combine accretion, rotation, and magnetic fields to launch and collimate supersonic flows from a central source. Near the source, magnetic field strengths must be large enough to collimate the jet requiring that the Poynting flux exceeds the kinetic energy flux. The extent to which the Poynting flux dominates kinetic energy flux at large distances from the engine distinguishes two classes of models. In magneto-centrifugal launch models, magnetic fields dominate only at scales {approx}< 100 engine radii, after which the jets become hydrodynamically dominated (HD). By contrast, in Poynting flux dominated (PFD) magnetic tower models,more »« less

Laboratory Experiments with Supersonic Radiatively Cooled Jets: Jet Deflection via Crosswinds and Magnetic Tower Outflows

Journal Article Lebedev, S; Ampleford, D; Bland, S; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We present results of high energy density laboratory experiments on the production of supersonic radiatively cooled plasma jets with dimensionless parameters (Mach number {approx}30, cooling parameter {approx}1 and density contrast {rho}j/{rho}a {approx}10) similar to those in YSO jets. The jets are produced using two modifications of wire array Z-pinch driven by 1MA, 250ns current pulse of MAGPIE facility at Imperial College London. In the first set of experiments the produced jets are purely hydrodynamic and are used to study deflection of the jets by the plasma cross-wind, including the structure of internal oblique shocks in the jets.

Comparing Poynting flux dominated magnetic tower jets with kinetic-energy dominated jets

Journal Article Huarte-Espinosa, M.; Frank, A.; Blackman, E.; ... - High Energy Density Physics

Magnetic towers represent one of two fundamental forms of MHD out flows. Driven by magnetic pressure gradients, these flows have been less well studied than magneto-centrifugally launched jets even though magnetic towers may well be as common. We present new results exploring the behavior and evolution of magnetic tower outflows and demonstrate their connection with pulsed power experimental studies and purely hydrodynamic jets which might represent the asymptotic propagation regimes of magneto-centrifugally launched jets. High-resolution AMR MHD simulations (using the AstroBEAR code) provide insights into the underlying physics of magnetic towers and help us constrain models of their propagation. Ourmore »« less
