Radiation magnetohydrodynamic models and spectral signatures of plasma flows accreting onto young stellar objects
The project is co-funded by Laboratory of Excellence (Labex) Plas@Par which belongs to the “Investments for the future” program (2012-2019), allocated for higher education and research projects driven by
Sorbonne Universities. The project started in January 2016. The Labex Plas@Par will cofund a PhD thesis for duration of three years.
The primary aim of this project is to provide a decisive contribution to the modeling of the dynamics and physical properties of plasma flows that accrete on a specific class of young stellar objects, the classical T Tauri stars, and thereby to enhance our understanding of star formation.
The study is based:
- on the modeling of the structure and dynamics of the post-shock plasma, incorporating radiation in the dynamics and energetics of the flows, and
- on the calculation of the spectral signatures of this plasma.
