Abstract: In recent years, intense laser facilities have been widely used in laboratory astrophysics,and with the development of imaging and analyzing techniques, important advances have been made in this field. These include self-organized electromagnetic field structures in laser-produced counter-streaming plasmas, turbulent amplification of magnetic fields in laboratory laser-produced shock waves, laboratory formation of a scaled protostellar jet by coaligned poloidal magnetic fields, and modeling of the interaction of the solar wind with a dipole magnetic field using the intense Shenguang II lasers. The results achieved have promoted our understanding of protostellar bodies, jets of Herbig-Haro objects, the shockwave of supernova remains, and the earth's magnetosphere near the pole regions. This article will present an overview of the above topics,as well as some outlook on future laboratory astrophysics research.
