Abstract

A strophysicists have many questions about the so-called accretion disk that forms from plasma and other matter falling into a black hole. Now researchers have generated a rotating ring of plasma in an unconfined arrangement in the lab, which will enable more realistic studies of plasma in astrophysical disks [1]. The lab plasma also produced a jet perpendicular to the disk, as real black holes do. The experiment could provide a platform for testing theories describing the evolution of astrophysical disks.

实验室等离子体旋转并产生喷流

天体物理学家对所谓的吸积盘有很多疑问，吸积盘是由等离子体和其他物质落入黑洞形成的。现在，研究人员已经在实验室中产生了一个无约束排列的等离子体旋转环，这将使天体物理盘中等离子体的研究更加现实[1]。实验室的等离子体也产生了垂直于圆盘的射流，就像真实的黑洞一样。该实验可以为测试描述天体物理盘演化的理论提供一个平台。

期刊介绍： Technical Physics is a journal that contains practical information on all aspects of applied physics, especially instrumentation and measurement techniques. Particular emphasis is put on plasma physics and related fields such as studies of charged particles in electromagnetic fields, synchrotron radiation, electron and ion beams, gas lasers and discharges. Other journal topics are the properties of condensed matter, including semiconductors, superconductors, gases, liquids, and different materials.
