Cosmic Ray Driven Winds from the LMC

A selection of videos accompanying Bustard et al. 2020
"Cosmic Ray Driven Outflows from the Large Magellanic Cloud: Contributions to the LMC Filament"
(https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020ApJ...893...29B/abstract)

Simulation showing an LMC outflow interacting with time-varying ram pressure as the LMC falls into the Milky Way halo. Elapsed time is 1 Gyr.

             Gas pressure                               Cosmic ray pressure                      Magnetic pressure

 

                                            (Pressures all range from 10^-16 to 10^-12 dyne/cm^2)

​

Simulation from Bustard et al. 2020 showing two cosmic ray driven LMC outflows without ram pressure. View is edge-on.
