Abstract: Locked beneath its icy crust, Jupiter’s moon Europa harbors one of the largest bodies of liquid water in the Solar System—a global, salty, internal ocean that may present a hospitable environment for life. Currently, investigations of the composition of Europa’s geologically young, fractured surface provide…
Arcs, Cavities, and Outflows: The Dynamic Drama of Star Formation
Cody Hall
Prof. Shantanu Basu, CITA, University of Toronto
April 16, 2025
2:00pm - 3:00pm
We are now firmly within the ALMA-inspired era of star formation studies. We have abundant high sensitivity and resolution observations of star-disk-outflow systems as well as the ability to perform complex high-resolution plasma astrophysics simulations of their formation. I review recent three-dimensional nonideal MHD simulations…
