- title: Mesh-refinement for laser-plasma interation simulations with WarpX
  textwidth: 7
  imagewidth: 5
  text: >
    Yt was used to render this multi-stage laser-plasma acceleration simulation
    with the electromagnetic particle-in-cell code
    <a href="https://github.com/ECP-WarpX/WarpX">WarpX</a>, see
    <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168900218300524"> Vay et al. 2018</a>.
    An ultrashort ultraintense laser pulse (red) propagates through a
    low-density plasma and triggers plasma oscillations with strong electric
    field (yellow-blue). A beam of electrons (white dots) is trapped in this
    wake and accelerated to high energies (GeV). The horizontal lines show
    lines of plasma particles. For higher accuracy, a refinement patch is added
    around the electron beam (white parallelepiped).

    In <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2019ApJ...875...81Z">
    Zhang et al. 2019</a>,
    authours used yt to present the 3D simulation of
    a mixed-morphology supernova remnant.
    The volumetric rendering of density shows in the top panel,
    with a density histogram (black curve)
    and the transfer function in the bottom panel.
    The SNR shock front is in cyan, and dense clouds are in red.

    In <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018ApJ...865...81O">O'Connor
    & Couch (2018)</a>, the authors used yt for the visualization of their data.
    This figure, a volume rendering of entropy near the gain region of a
    core-collapse supernova, shows the multidimensional hydrodynamic instabilities
    at work.  Both turbulence and the standing accretion shock instability
    (the spiral wave wrapping around from the left) aid the neutrino mechanism
    in reviving the stalled shock.

    In <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017MNRAS.468.4107R">Ruggiero
    & Lima Neto (2017)</a>, the authors used yt to do all the analysis
    and visualization of their data. This figure shows gas density
    projections of a Milky Way like galaxy falling into a galaxy cluster
    with different entry speeds, for the case where the cluster has
    a cool-core (first three rows) or does not have a cool-core (last
    three rows).

    This movie was created completely with yt by Matthew Turk, John Wise, Sam
    Skillman, and Mark SubbaRao that shows a zoom-out of a collapsing
    metal-free halo and then transitions to another simulation that follows the
    main sequence and supernova of a metal-free star.  The simulation shown in
    the first half was presented in <a
    href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2009Sci...325..601T">Turk et al.
    (2009)</a> and the latter simulation will be published shortly.  This
    visualization won the Best Visualization Award at the <a

    exhibited at the Alder Planetarium.

    This multi-panel figure, created with the eps_writer extension, highlights
    the magnitude and direction of the acceleration created by radiation
    pressure from massive stars in a dwarf galaxy at redshift 8.  This
    simulation was presented in <a
    href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012MNRAS.427..311W">Wise et al.
    (2012)</a> and conducted with <a href="http://enzo-project.org">Enzo</a>.
    The bottom panels show the density, temperature, and metallicity of the
    same slice.  This figure was published in the reference above as Figure 9.

    This movie shows the density and temperature structure around a forming
    protostar that is surrounded by an accretion disk and driving a bipolar
    outflow. The simulation was carried out by S. Offner with the ORION code,
    the temperature was computed by T. Robitaille with the <a
    href="http://www.hyperion-rt.org/">Hyperion</a> radiative transfer code and
    the visualization was produced in Python using yt and matplotlib.
