Congratulations to collaborator and CITA graduate student Michael Grehan on his new preprint about relativistic reconnection in a twisted magnetic flux tube!
Congratulations to my collaborator Mandy Chen at Caltech on our new submission! We develop analytical relations, tested with simulations, to interpret turbulence sampled by sparse blobs of plasma and constrain the three-dimensional structure of gas around galaxies.
With Amitava Bhattacharjee, we use simulations with over a trillion cells to uncover how magnetized turbulence organizes into locally aligned patches. Our updated paper is accepted in Physical Review Letters.
This September, Iâm joining the Institute for Advanced Study as a NASA Hubble Fellow and Member, working on turbulence and magnetic fields in astrophysical plasmas.
With Raphael Skalidis, Aris Tritsis, and Philip F. Hopkins, we show how the way turbulence is driven changes the balance of kinetic and magnetic energy. Published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, 713, A7.
My graduate-level notes on fluid theory, turbulence, and dynamos in magnetized plasmas are now available to read and download.
Published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 1004, L9. I show how instabilities in supernova shells generate incompressible turbulence, connecting small-scale structure to the turbulence cascade in our Galaxy.
With Max Sokolova, Khush Negandhi, and Bart Ripperda, we derive an exact reformulation of compressible NavierâStokes flow in Schrödinger-type variables. The paper is available on arXiv.
Our study of cosmic-ray and plasma coupling, led by Matt Sampson, is now published in The Astrophysical Journal. Congratulations, Matt!
Our study of relativistic cosmic-ray fluids and plasma coupling, led by Princeton graduate student Matt Sampson, is now available on arXiv.
