We derive and solve by the spectral method the equations for a neutral system of ultra-relativistic electrons that are compressed to the radius of the nucleus and subject to a driving force. This driving force can be thought of as originating from a nuclear breathing mode, a possibility we discuss in detail.

Based on the Thomas-Fermi solution for compressed electron gas around a giant nucleus, $Zapprox 10^6$, we study electric pulsations of electron number-density, pressure and electric fields, which could be caused by an external perturbations acting on
the nucleus or the electrons themselves. We numerically obtain the eigen-frequencies and eigen-functions for stationary pulsation modes that fulfill the boundary-value problem established by electron-number and energy-momentum conservation, equation of state, laws of thermodynamics, and Maxwells equations, as well as physical boundary conditions. We choose a proton number of $Z=10^6$ and assume the nucleons in $beta$-equilibrium at nuclear density. Similar systems with non-spherical geometry are hypothesized to exist in the lower crust of neutron stars, commonly referred to as textit{pasta equation of state}. The lowest modes turn out to be heavily influenced by the relativistic plasma frequency induced by the positive charge background in the nucleus. We discuss the possibility to apply our results to dynamic nuclei using the spectral method and mention mechanisms that could stimulate such dynamics in the astrophysical context.
Cepheids are pulsating variable stars with a periodic chromospheric response at UV wavelengths close to their minimum radius phase. Recently, an X-ray variable signature was captured in observations during the emph{maximum} radius phase. This X-ray e
mission came as a surprise and is not understood. In this work, we use the modern astrophysical code, PLUTO, to investigate the effects of pulsations on Cepheid X-ray emission. We run a number of hydrodynamic numerical simulations with a variety of initial and boundary conditions in order to explore the capability of shocks to produce the observed phase-dependent X-ray behavior. Finally we use the Simulated Observations of X-ray Sources (SOXS) package to create synthetic spectra for each simulation case and link our simulations to observables. We show that, for certain conditions, we can reproduce observed X-ray fluxes at phases 0.4--0.8 when the Cepheid is at maximum radius. Our results span a wide range of mass-loss rates, $2times10^{-13}$--$3times10^{-8}$ $M_odot$ yr$^{-1}$, and peak X-ray luminosities, $5times10^{-17}$--$1.4times10^{-12}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. We conclude that Cepheids exhibit textit{two component emission} with (a) shock waves being responsible for the phase dependent variable emission (phases 0.2 - 0.6), and (b) a separate quiescent mechanism being the dominant emission mechanism for the remaining phases.
Axisymmetric current-carrying plasmoids are formed in the presence of nonaxisymmetric fluctuations during nonlinear three-dimensional resistive MHD simulations in a global toroidal geometry. We utilize the helicity injection technique to form an init
ial poloidal flux in the presence of a toroidal guide field. As helicity is injected, two types of current sheets are formed from 1) the oppositely directed field lines in the injector region (primary reconnecting current sheet), and 2) the poloidal flux compression near the plasma edge (edge current sheet). We first find that nonaxisymmetic fluctuations arising from the current-sheet instability isolated near the plasma edge have tearing parity but can nevertheless grow fast (on the poloidal Alfven time scale). These modes saturate by breaking up the current sheet. Second, for the first time a dynamo poloidal flux amplification is observed at the reconnetion site (in the region of the oppositely directed magnetic field). This fluctuation-induced flux amplification increases the local Lundquist number, which then triggers a plasmoid instability and breaks the primary current sheet at the reconnection site. The plasmoids formation driven by large-scale flux amplification, i.e. a large-scale dynamo, observed here has strong implications for astrophysical reconnection as well as fast reconnection events in laboratory plasmas.
Electronic parametric instabilities of an ultrarelativistic circularly polarized laser pulse propagating in underdense plasmas are studied by numerically solving the dispersion relation which includes the effect of the radiation reaction force in las
er-driven plasma dynamics. Emphasis is placed on studying the different modes in the laser-plasma system and identifying the absolute and convective nature of the unstable modes in a parameter map spanned by the normalized laser vector potential and the plasma density. Implications for the ultraintense laser-plasma experiments are pointed out.
The partition of irreversible heating between ions and electrons in compressively driven (but subsonic) collisionless turbulence is investigated by means of nonlinear hybrid gyrokinetic simulations. We derive a prescription for the ion-to-electron he
ating ratio $Q_rmi/Q_rme$ as a function of the compressive-to-Alfvenic driving power ratio $P_compr/P_AW$, of the ratio of ion thermal pressure to magnetic pressure $beta_rmi$, and of the ratio of ion-to-electron background temperatures $T_rmi/T_rme$. It is shown that $Q_rmi/Q_rme$ is an increasing function of $P_compr/P_AW$. When the compressive driving is sufficiently large, $Q_rmi/Q_rme$ approaches $simeq P_compr/P_AW$. This indicates that, in turbulence with large compressive fluctuations, the partition of heating is decided at the injection scales, rather than at kinetic scales. Analysis of phase-space spectra shows that the energy transfer from inertial-range compressive fluctuations to sub-Larmor-scale kinetic Alfven waves is absent for both low and high $beta_rmi$, meaning that the compressive driving is directly connected to the ion entropy fluctuations, which are converted into ion thermal energy. This result suggests that preferential electron heating is a very special case requiring low $beta_rmi$ and no, or weak, compressive driving. Our heating prescription has wide-ranging applications, including to the solar wind and to hot accretion disks such as M87 and Sgr A*.
