1 Department of MATHEMATICS Research Unit: Centre for mathematical Plasma Astrophysics CHARM IAP 1st annual meeting, ROB april 2013
2 Research areas Mathematical modeling in plasma physics l l Fluid (MagnetoHydroDynamics) and kinetic theory Magnetic Reconnection and multi-scale modeling Magnetoseismology l l Waves and instabilities in solar atmosphere/corona MHD spectroscopy for astrophysical jets, accretion disks, and tokamak (fusion) plasmas Solar physics and Space Weather Solar wind / Coronal Mass Ejections: initiation and evolution Interaction solar wind/interplanetary CMEs with magnetosphere High energy astrophysics (Extra-)galactic jets, accretion disks, relativistic outflows, Numerical algorithm development High performance and parallel computing, adaptive mesh, Particle In Cell treatments, Finite Difference/Finite Volume/Finite Element methods, large scale (generalized) eigenvalue solvers,...
3 Research objectives The research activities of the Centre for Plasma Astrophysics (which will celebrate its 20 year existence, February 2012) are in applied mathematics, with an emphasis on theoretical and computational plasma physics, relevant for solar physics, astrophysics and laboratory (fusion) plasmas. Key applications include magnetoseismology in the solar corona, all aspects of space weather, relativistic plasma dynamics, and fundamental plasma physics research (using kinetic, fluid, to hybrid modeling aspects). We develop and exploit state-of-the-art software packages especially targeted to High Performance Computing and devise mathematical models for generic plasma phenomena.
4 ZAP Members Prof. Marcel Goossens (emeritus since October 2012) Prof. Stefaan Poedts (ex-president for Solar Physics EPS division) Prof. Rony Keppens (Chair) Prof. Giovanni Lapenta (BOF-ZAP) Prof. Tom Van Doorsselaere (Tenure Track Odysseus II) Prof. Paul Gibbon (10%, Director at Julich Supercomputing Centre)

9 Research highlights Magnetoseismology: analytic and numerical modeling of wave dynamics in magnetized configurations (coronal loops, prominences, accretion disks, magnetized jets, tokamaks ): emphasis on theoretical insights (stratification induced wave mode couplings, spectral behavior when eigenmode operators go from self-adjoint ideal- to non self-adjoint -dissipative, ) as well as direct predictions for periods and damping rates in coronal seismology, used to invert for coronal parameters (as in helioseismology). Highlight: Nature July 11: Alfvén waves in solar corona!
