Update 5.28.13

This past week, I've been updating Martin's module to work with latest revision of the code. So far, we've gotten the following 3D runs:

(1) Jet, constant ambient
(2) Jet, stratified ambient
(3) Clump, constant ambient
(4) Clump, stratified ambient

  • The torus ambient does not seem to be running properly at the moment, and needs some more work.
  • We want to edit the module to run in 2.5D instead of 3D.
  • Meeting with Martin tomorrow to discuss next steps

As far as reading, I've read:

Shaping Bipolar Planetary Nebulae: Effects of Stellar Rotation, Photoionization Heating, and Magnetic Fields (Garcia-Segura, et al. 1999)

Magnetically Driven Winds from Post-Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars: Solutions for High-Speed Winds and Extreme Collimation (Garcia-Segura, et al. 2004)

From Bipolar to Elliptical: simulating the morphological Evolution of Planetary Nebulae (Huarte-Espinosa, et al. 2012)

The Formation and Evolution of Wind-Capture Disks in Binary Systems (Huarte-Espinosa, et al. 2013)

Outflows from Evolved Stars: The Rapidly Changing Fingers of CRL-618 (Balick, et al. [submitted])

Exploring Model Paradigms for the Cores of Active Pre Planetary Nebulae (Balick, et al. [draft] )

Also picked up Toro for some supplementary reading this summer.
