Constraints on the local interstellar magnetic field from non-thermal emission of SN1006
2011
The synchrotron radio morphology of bilateral supernova remnants depends on the mechanisms of particle acceleration and on the viewing geometry. However, unlike X-ray and $\gamma$-ray morphologies, the radio emission does not depend on the cut-off region of the parent electron population, making it a simpler and more straightforward tool to investigate the physics of cosmic ray production in SNRs. Our aim is to derive from the radio morphology tight constraints on the direction of the local magnetic field and its gradient, and on the obliquity dependence of the electron injection efficiency. We perform a set of 3D MHD simulations describing the expansion of a spherical SNR through a magneti…
ROLE OF EJECTA CLUMPING AND BACK-REACTION OF ACCELERATED COSMIC RAYS IN THE EVOLUTION OF TYPE Ia SUPERNOVA REMNANTS
2012
We investigate the role played by initial clumping of ejecta and by efficient acceleration of cosmic rays (CRs) in determining the density structure of the post-shock region of a Type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) through detailed 3D MHD modeling. Our model describes the expansion of a SNR through a magnetized interstellar medium (ISM), including the initial clumping of ejecta and the effects on shock dynamics due to back-reaction of accelerated CRs. The model predictions are compared to the observations of SN 1006. We found that the back-reaction of accelerated CRs alone cannot reproduce the observed separation between the forward shock (FS) and the contact discontinuity (CD) unless the energ…
Chirality transfer and chiral turbulence in gauge theories
2020
Chirality transfer between fermions and gauge fields plays a crucial role for understanding the dynamics of anomalous transport phenomena such as the Chiral Magnetic Effect. In this proceeding we present a first principles study of these processes based on classical-statistical real-time lattice simulations of strongly coupled QED $(e^2N_f=64)$. Our simulations demonstrate that a chirality imbalance in the fermion sector triggers chiral plasma instabilities in the gauge field sector, which ultimately lead to the generation of long range helical magnetic fields via a self-similar turbulent cascade of the magnetic helicity.
Magnetization relaxation in YBCO films with improved supercurrent transport properties
2010
The relaxation of the irreversible magnetization in optimally doped YBCO films with natural and artificial pinning centres was measured in zero-field cooling conditions using SQUID magnetometry. The external magnetic field H was oriented along the c axis. An appropriate method for the determination of the characteristic vortex pinning energy from the normalized vortex-creep activation energy is discussed. This is based on the existence of a crossover elastic (collective) vortex creep at low temperatures T – plastic vortex creep at high T, caused by the T dependent macroscopic currents induced in the sample during magnetization measurements.
An iterative based approach for hysteresis parameters estimation in Magnetorheological dampers
2012
The following work entails the problem of regenerating the hysteresis loop in the Magnetorheological (MR) dampers. The collected data from tests are not sufficient neither efficient for designing optimal controls compensating for the hysteresis in the dampers. This work presents an iterative based approach for estimating the hysteresis parameters, the method however can be generalized for different kind of dampers or actuators hence the hysteresis loop can be generalized using available test data. Some assumptions can be introduced in order to facilitate the underlines of the parameters estimation, one of the assumptions in this work is to use predetermined hysteresis parameters and regener…
Firefly optimization used to identify hysteresis parameter on rotational MR-damper
2014
In his paper the physical properties and mathematical models of a semi-active magnetorheological (MR) damper is studied. The considered models are the Dahl model and Bouc-Wen model. The parameters for these models are found by using a firefly optimization algorithm that minimizes the difference between experimental and simulated data. The objective of his paper is to compare different mathematical MR-damper models with the experimental data. The simulation results illustrate he effectiveness of he proposed optimization algorithm.
Numerical simulation of unsteady MHD flows and applications
2009
International audience; We present a robust numerical method for solving the compressible Ideal Magneto-Hydrodynamic equations. It is based on the Residual Distribution (RD) algorithms already successfully tested in many problems. We adapted the scheme to the multi-dimensional unsteady MHD model. The constraint ∇ · B = 0 is enforced by the use a Generalized Lagrange Multiplier (GLM) technique. First, we present this complete system and the keys to get its eigensystem, as we may need it in the algorithm. Next, we introduce the numerical scheme built in order to get a compressible, unsteady and implicit solver which has good shock-capturing properties and is second-order accurate at the conve…
Feasibility study for a nanosatellite-based instrument for in-situ measurements of radio noise
2015
The radio environment on the earth is heavily affected by manmade sources such as radio transmissions, radars, and the like. The effect is particularly strong at MF frequencies and below, since the signals can propagate large distances via ionospheric bounce. Terrestrial magnetometer measurements have long been used to predict the Kp index, which is related to radio transmission at these ranges. Space weather measurements and models can also predict propagation of MF signals on the ground.

Compensating for instantaneous signal mixing in transfer entropy analysis of neurobiological time series
2013
The transfer entropy (TE) has recently emerged as a nonlinear model-free tool, framed in information theory, to detect directed interactions in coupled processes. Unfortunately, when applied to neurobiological time series TE is biased by signal cross-talk due to volume conduction. To compensate for this bias, in this study we introduce a modified TE measure which accounts for possible instantaneous effects between the analyzed time series. The new measure, denoted as compensated TE (cTE), is tested on simulated time series reproducing conditions typical of neuroscience applications, and on real magnetoencephalographic (MEG) multi-trial data measured during a visuo-tactile cognitive experime…
