Reading between the lines of highly turbulent plasmas

(Springer) Plasma, the ionised state of matter found in stars, is still not fully understood. Astrophysicists have long-since sought to develop models that can account for the turbulent motions inside plasma. Turbulences are typically detected through observation of broadened lines due to the Doppler Effect. In a study published in EPJ D, Roland Stamm and colleagues develop an iterative simulation model that accurately predicts changes to the line shape in the presence of strong plasma turbulenc
