实验室天体物理是一门利用实验室环境来模拟、研究天体物理现象的新兴学科.天体物理中的喷流现象,尤其是Herbig—Haro天体,一直是实验室天体物理的研究热点.通过不同的实验方法,如激波挤压、Z箍缩装置和激光驱动等方式制造喷流,研究者对于实验室天体物理中的喷流现象的认识在不断深入.本文对这些研究进行简要介绍,并对未来的研究进行一些展望.
Laboratory astrophysics is a new subject that studies astrophysical phenomena by experimentations and simulations. The astrophysical jets, especially Herbig-Haro objects, are always the key questions in laboratory astrophysics. By using different methods are used such as shockwave driven, Z-pinches and high power lasers to make jets. This article reviews such works, and provide some perspectives.
