All’s Knot Quiet on the Recombination Front
Molecular clouds are clumpy on length scales down to the limits of observational resolution. At least some ultracompact Hii regions (UCHiiR) may result from the interaction of a young early type star and this typ...

Flows and Shocks in Active Galaxies and their Nuclei
Observations of active galactic nuclei imply that shocks must be an essential and important part of their structure. We outline the basic observations, and discuss those features which must be addressed by any...

Photoionized Flows from Magnetized Globules
Low mass star formation may be triggered by the dynamical effects of radiation fields and winds from massive stars on nearby molecular material. The columns of neutral material observed at the edges of many HI...

Numerical Simulations and Astrophysical Applications of Laboratory Jets at Omega
We have conducted experiments on the Omega laser at the University of Rochester that have produced jets of supersonic Ti impacting and being deflected by a ball of high density plastic. These mm-sized jets of ...

Laboratory experiments to study supersonic astrophysical flows interacting with clumpy environments
A wide variety of objects in the universe drive supersonic outflows through the interstellar medium which is often highly clumpy. These inhomogeneities affect the morphology of the shocks that are generated. T...
