Modelling of protostellar jets using intense lasers

Using telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers observe parsec-scale plasma jets emerging from Young Stellar Objects and colliding with the interstellar medium, generating shock structures. A set of mathematically rigorous scaling transformations exists allowing dynamic scaled model...
