Magnetized nonlinear thin-shell instability: Numerical studies in two dimensions

We revisit the analysis of the nonlinear thin shell instability (NTSI) numerically, including magnetic fields. The magnetic tension force is expected to work against the main driver of the NTSI - namely, transverse momentum transport. However, depending on the field strength and orientation, the ins...
