I’m sitting at the High energy density laboratory astrophysics conference so I found your post funny. No one I know of uses PF devices for so called lab astro problems. The closest thing I know of is using modified Z-pinch to model jets formed by various bodies and colliding them with gas jets or gas blankets. Look up experiments on the MAGPIE generator by Sergey Lebedev and his group if you want to go this route. They started this work a few years back and in my opinion are still the best physicists working the problem.
