Plasmoid Instability in the Multiphase Interstellar Medium

Plasmoid Instability in the Multiphase Interstellar Medium

The processes controlling the complex clump structure, phase distribution, and magnetic field geometry that develop across a broad range of scales in the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) remain unclear. Using unprecedentedly high-resolution 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of thermally unstable...
