Gas-rich environments are ubiquitous in various scales, from protoplanetary disks to star clusters and galaxies. Dynamics in gas-rich environments are substantially different and give rise to unique astrophysical phenomena, along with enhancing the...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a recently discovered, poorly understood class of transient event, and understanding their origin has become a central problem in astrophysics. I will present FRB science results from CHIME, a new interferometric...

Nonlinear magnetic structures can be generated in the vicinity of collisionless shocks by streaming of accelerated particles and as part of the shock structure evolution. I will discuss the effects of these nonlinearities on particle pre-heating and...
