TL;DR: In this paper, Goldader et al. showed that a large variation in UV flux will produce a similar variation in the column of neutral sodium for a fixed mass flux and density, and that if the cold gas is in pressure equilibrium with a hot outflow with a mass-loss rate similar to the star formation rate, the range of ionization state is significantly smaller.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that compressive fluctuations are a minor yet significant component of astrophysical plasma turbulence in the solar wind, and that the enhanced field fluctuations from these microinstabilities scatter the protons so as to reduce the anisotropy of the pressure tensor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived an analytic expression for the temperature ratio T?i/T?p in the solar wind assuming that stochastic heating is the dominant ion heating mechanism.

TL;DR: In this paper, relativistic hydrodynamic numerical calculations were used to show that highly collimated relativists can be produced in neutron star merger models of short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) without the need for a highly directed engine or a large net magnetic flux.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present axisymmetric two-temperature general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic (GRRMHD) simulations of the inner region of the accretion flow onto the supermassive black hole M87.
