Magnetic Field Effects on the Vishniac Overstability in Scaled Radiative Blast Waves

2020 
We report experimental results on the stability of a magnetized laser-launched blast wave scaled to simulate a late-stage supernova remnant. We extend previous results to show the effect of a dynamically significant magnetic field on the spatial mode spectrum of the instability. We find that magnetic fields reduce instability growth, possibly influencing turbulent feedback to the interstellar medium.
