The Launching of Cosmic Ray Driven Outflows

PrincetonUniversity/athena 24 May 2021

When streaming is present, most of the transferred energy takes the form of Alfv\'{e}n wave heating of the gas, raising its pressure and internal energy, with a lower fractional contribution to the kinetic energy of the outflow.
