Instability, turbulence, and enhanced transport in accretion disks
Steven A. Balbus,John F. Hawley +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a summary of what is now known of disk turbulence and some knotty outstanding questions (e.g., what is the physics behind nonlinear field saturation?) for which we may soon begin to develop answers.

Toward a theory of interstellar turbulence. 2. Strong Alfvenic turbulence
Peter Goldreich,S. Sridhar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed derivation of the inertial range spectrum for the weak turbulence of shear Alfven waves is presented, where the authors restrict attention to the symmetric case where the oppositely directed waves carry equal energy fluxes and show that as energy cascades to high perpendicular wavenumbers, interactions become so strong that the assumption of weakness is no longer valid.

Particle acceleration at astrophysical shocks: A theory of cosmic ray origin
TL;DR: In this article, the theory of first order Fermi acceleration at collisionless astrophysical shock fronts is reviewed and it is argued that the wave amplitude is probably non-linear within sufficiently strong astrophysical shocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zonal flows in plasma—a review
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of zonal flow phenomena in plasmas is presented in this article, where the focus is on zonal flows generated by drift waves and the back-interaction of ZF on the drift waves, and various feedback loops by which the system regulates and organizes itself.

High Energy Astrophysics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce high energy astrophysics in the context of galaxies and the origin of cosmic rays in our galaxy, as well as the acceleration of high energy particles in magnetic fields.
