Effects of radiative energy losses on the structure of stellar wind interaction with the interstellar medium
Journal of Physics: Conference Series. 2021. Vol. 2028. Article 012012.
We present two-dimensional axisymmetric gas dynamic simulations of the hypersonic stellar wind interaction with the surrounding interstellar medium moving with supersonic speed in the stellar rest frame. Our model takes into account radiative losses that appear in optically thin plasma. We aim to explore the influence of radiative cooling on the size and global shapes of astrospheres. It is demonstrated in the paper that solution depends on five dimensionless parameters: 𝛾 (the adiabatic index), 𝑀∞ (the Mach number in the undisturbed interstellar medium), 𝜒 (the ratio between terminal speed and interstellar medium speed), as well as 𝛼 and 𝜃 which are related to the energy losses; 𝛼 is responsible for radiative cooling power, 𝜃 is the interstellar medium temperature divided by 104 K. Results of the simulations demonstrate that radiative losses have a significant influence on the flow pattern. The process of radiative cooling leads to an increase of density and pressure which results in compression of the interaction region and changing the position of the astropause. We also explore the growth of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability appearing at tangential discontinuities with increasing cooling power 𝛼.

Modification of perovskite-type oxides is an effective way to develop functional materials with advanced properties. The effects of cerium introduction into the A sublattice of La0.5Sr0.5FeO3−δ and variation of La:Sr ratio on the defect structure and charge transfer characteristics were studied in this work. The LaxSr0.85−xCe0.15FeO3−δ oxides were found to be single-phase with cubic (x = 0.1) and orthorhombic ...

We develop a full microscopic theory for the optical conductivity 𝜎(𝜔) of a dirty current-carrying superconductor. Within the Keldysh sigma model formalism, we obtain the general analytical expression for 𝜎(𝜔), applicable for arbitrary frequency 𝜔, temperature 𝑇, and dc supercurrent 𝐼. In addition to altering the usual Mattis-Bardeen conductivity 𝜎1(𝜔), a finite supercurrent introduces two new contributions: 𝜎qp2(𝜔) from quasiparticle redistribution and 𝜎SH2(𝜔) from the amplitude ...

A dissipationless supercurrent state in superconductors can be destroyed by thermal fluctuations. Thermally activated phase slips provide a finite resistance of the sample and are responsible for dark counts in superconducting single-photon detectors. The activation barrier for a phase slip is determined by a space-dependent saddle-point (instanton) configuration of the order parameter. In the one-dimensional ...

Проанализировано 8 вспышечных событий по данным многочастотных наблюдений сети радиотелескопов Radio Solar Telescope Network. Целью анализа было выявление предвестников солнечных вспышек. В семи рассмотренных случаях выявлены предвспышечные квазипериодические флуктуации радиоизлучения. Сделанная по вейвлет-спектрам оценка квазипериодов дает в большинстве случаев значения 40–50 сек. В одном событии с большой вспышкой класса M8.0 квазипериодические флуктуации не проявились. В ...

In this article, we investigate wave packet and solitary wave dynamics in the Whitham–Ostrovsky (WO) equation. By means of a multiple-scales expansion, we formally derive a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation governing the envelope evolution.The corresponding modulational stability diagram is then obtained using the Lighthill criterion. We show that sufficiently large values of the low-frequency dispersive term render ...

Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus, LG-SiO2), horsetail (Equisetum debile, SG-SiO2), and cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta, CL-SiO2) were used to green-synthesize silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs). While LG-SiO2 and SG-SiO2 had strong (101) peaks and a large 22° amorphous peak, XRD of CL-SiO2 verified crystallinity. LG-SiO2 (agglomerated porous), SG-SiO2 (rectangular-cube agglomerates), and CL-SiO2 (flake agglomerates) had different morphologies. The TEM image of LG-SiO2 revealed agglomerated ...

Recently, there have been discussions about the shape of the heliopause. Some scientists question the classical form, which is close to a paraboloid. They suggest that the heliopause may have a two-jet collimated shape. While we disagree with this view of the heliopause shape, it seems likely that for stars with stronger stellar magnetic fields ...

High-resolution mid-infrared observations carried out by the Spitzer Space Telescope allowed one to resolve the fine structure of many astrospheres. In particular, they showed that the astrosphere around the B0.7 Ia star κ Cas (HD 2905) has a clear-cut arc structure with numerous cirrus-like filaments beyond it. Previously, we suggested a physical mechanism for the formation of such filamentary ...
