The Impact of Cosmic Ray Injection on Magnetic Flux Tubes in a Galactic Disk

The Impact of Cosmic Ray Injection on Magnetic Flux Tubes in a Galactic Disk

In a seminal paper, Parker showed the vertical stratification of the interstellar medium (ISM) is unstable if magnetic fields and cosmic rays provide too large a fraction of pressure support. Cosmic ray acceleration is linked to star formation, so Parker’s instability and its nonlinear outcomes are...
