From turbulence to structure, and from structure back to the source

Luca Fabiani, PhD

Expanding plasma flows are typically unstable and prone to turbulence. Yet observations across astrophysical systems reveal persistent large-scale organization embedded within these flows.
Using the solar wind and radiatively driven stellar winds as complementary laboratories, this talk examines how such structures arise and, more importantly, how their characterization provides insight into the physics of their central stars that drives them.
