Current sheets are the hidden flumen of astrophysical plasmas—thin layers where magnetic field lines abruptly reverse direction, storing vast amounts ...
Magnetized plasma jets—collimated outflows from accreting compact objects—exhibit complex dynamics that challenge both observers and simulators. Among...
For any astrophysicist working with dynamo models, the central challenge is not whether magnetic fields grow—they do—but how efficiently energy flows ...
Introduction: Beyond the Bland MHD Picture of Jet LaunchingFor those well-versed in accretion physics, the standard narrative of jet formation—c...
