With the advent of high-energy-density (HED) experimental facilities, such as high-energy
lasers and fast Z-pinch, pulsed-power facilities, millimeter-scale quantities of matter can be …

Collisionless shocks, that is shocks mediated by electromagnetic processes, are customary
in space physics and in astrophysics. They are to be found in a great variety of objects and …

This book concerns itself with the physics of systems having high-energydensity. By high-
energy-density systems, we refer to those having a pressure above one million …

▪ Abstract We review the state of observational and theoretical studies of the sha** of
planetary nebulae (PNe) and protoplanetary nebulae (pPNe). In the past decade, high …

(abridged) The review describes observations of SS433. The main difference between
SS433 and other X-ray binaries is the supercritical regime for the gas accretion onto the …

Laboratory facilities employing high pulsed currents and voltages, and called generally
“pulsed-power facilities,” allow experimenters to produce a variety of hydrodynamical …

We present observations for 20-MA wire-array z pinches of an extended wire ablation period
of 57%±3% of the stagnation time of the array and non-thin-shell implosion trajectories …

The evolution of laboratory produced magnetic jets is followed numerically through three-
dimensional, nonideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The experiments are designed to …

We present the first results of high energy density laboratory astrophysics experiments which
explore the evolution of collimated outflows and jets driven by a toroidal magnetic field. The …

Inertial fusion energy (IFE) has been considered a promising, nearly inexhaustible source of
sustainable carbon-free power for the world's energy future. It has long been recognized that …
