Journal Article
Su, Y., Kraft, R. P., Nulsen, P. E. J., Roediger, E., Forman, W. R., Churazov, E., Randall, S. W., Jones, C., & Machacek, M. E. (2017). Capturing the 3D motion of an infalling galaxy via fluid dynamics. The Astrophysical journal, 835(1), 19. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/835/1/19

The Fornax Cluster is the nearest galaxy cluster in the southern sky. NGC 1404 is a bright elliptical galaxy falling through the intracluster medium of the Fornax Cluster. The sharp leading edge of NGC 1404 forms a classical "cold front" that separat... Read More about Capturing the 3D motion of an infalling galaxy via fluid dynamics.

Deep Chandra observations of NGC 1404 : cluster plasma physics revealed by an infalling early-type galaxy (2017)
Journal Article
Kraft, R. P., Forman, W. R., Randall, S. W., Machacek, M. E., Roediger, E., Churazov, E., Forman, W., Jones, C., Kraft, R., Machacek, M., Nulsen, P., Randall, S., & Su, Y. (2017).

The intracluster medium (ICM), as a magnetized and highly ionized fluid, provides an ideal laboratory to study plasma physics under extreme conditions that cannot yet be achieved on Earth. NGC 1404 is a bright elliptical galaxy that is being gas stri... Read More about Deep Chandra observations of NGC 1404 : cluster plasma physics revealed by an infalling early-type galaxy.

Time resolved anisotropic emission from an aluminium laser produced plasma (2017)
Journal Article
Wubetu, G. A., Fiedorowicz, H., Costello, J. T., & Kelly, T. J. (2017). Time resolved anisotropic emission from an aluminium laser produced plasma. Physics of Plasmas, 24(1), 013105. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4973444

The polarisation anisotropy of the emission from a laser produced aluminium plasma has been studied using time and polarisation resolved spectroscopy at various background pressures of air. A Wollaston prism was used to resolve the emission from the... Read More about Time resolved anisotropic emission from an aluminium laser produced plasma.
