Advection-only galactic wind models fail to reproduce observed vertical radio profiles without unrealistic velocities, synchrotron spectra are biased toward young electrons in dense regions, and bremsstrahlung/Coulomb losses cannot be neglected even when subdominant.
A time-dependent model shows that star-disk collisions in TDE systems hosting EMRIs can eject 10^{-3} to 1 solar masses at 0.02-0.1c years after the initial flare, producing radio emission via interaction with circumnuclear material.
Cosmic rays enhance momentum transfer in Kelvin-Helmholtz turbulent shear flows by acting as long-range messengers when their gyroradii are smaller than the shear scale, increasing effective viscosity even when not energetically dominant.
For hybrid simulations of the ion Weibel instability, reliable results require about 9(M_A/30)^0.51 to 30 cells per ion skin depth, with finer grids producing unphysical whistler modes.
Ion injection at perpendicular shocks requires 3D geometry to capture the porosity of downstream magnetic turbulence that lets particles return upstream and gain energy.
Four Solar Orbiter interplanetary shocks show energetic particle pressure dominating upstream, indicating particle-mediated modification of collisionless shocks.
VLA L-band polarization observations of SNR G7.7-3.7 show cocoon morphology from interaction with pre-existing circumstellar shells, with magnetic fields compressed along filaments and RM variations tracing massive progenitor winds.
Derives and validates via PIC simulations a scaling law for nonthermal spectral tails in mildly to strongly magnetized turbulent plasmas, with application to black-hole coronae.
MHD simulations indicate that SKA-Mid Band 5a can detect filamentary polarized emission from ICM magnetic fields at high resolution and sensitivity, allowing inference of turbulence driving scales.
A two-component Galactic source model with supernova remnants below 100 TeV and microquasars above, using charge-dependent cutoffs, accounts for cosmic-ray spectra, composition, and the all-particle spectrum up to PeV energies while ruling out nuclei-dependent cutoffs.
Coherent structures that self-consistently emerge in strong MHD turbulence serve as the dominant sites for localized electric-field intensification and repeated particle acceleration across cosmic plasmas.
