Distribution of Accreting Gas and Angular Momentum onto Circumplanetary Disks

Takayuki Tanigawa, Keiji Ohtsuki, Masahiro N. Machida

We investigate gas accretion flow onto a circumplanetary disk from a protoplanetary disk in detail by using high-resolution three-dimensional nested-grid hydrodynamic simulations,…

Far Ultraviolet Continuum Emission: Applying this Diagnostic to the Chromospheres of Solar-Mass Stars

Jeffrey L. Linsky, Rachel Bushinsky, Tom Ayres +2

The far ultraviolet (FUV) continuum flux is recognized as a very sensitive diag- nostic of the temperature structure of the Sun's lower chromosphere. Until now analysis of the avai…

Photoevaporation as a Truncation Mechanism for Circumplanetary Disks

Tyler R. Mitchell, Glen R. Stewart

We investigate the conditions under which the regular satellites of Jupiter and Saturn formed. The final stage of giant planet accretion is thought to occur slowly over a relativel…

Kinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection in presence of a background O+ population

Stefano Markidis, Giovanni Lapenta, Lapo Bettarini +3

Particle-in-Cell simulations of magnetic reconnection with an H+ current sheet and a mixed background plasma of H+ and O+ ions are completed using physical mass ratios. Four main r…

Galactic H2CO Densitometry I: Pilot survey of Ultracompact HII regions and methodology

Adam Ginsburg, Jeremy Darling, Cara Battersby +2

We present a pilot survey of 21 lines of sight towards UCHII regions in the H2CO 1-1 (6cm) and 2-2 (2cm) transitions, using the H2CO centimeter lines as a molecular gas densitomete…

Star-forming Region Sh 2-233IR I. Deep NIR Observations toward the Embedded Stellar Clusters

Chi-Hung Yan, Y. C. Minh, Shiang-Yu Wang +2

We observed the Sh 2-233IR (S233IR) region with better sensitivity in near-infrared than previous studies for this region. By applying statistical subtraction of the back- ground s…

X-ray illumination of the ejecta of Supernova 1987A

J. Larsson, C. Fransson, G. Östlin +25

We present the late-time optical light curve of the ejecta of SN 1987A measured from HST imaging observations spanning the past 17 years. We find that the flux from the ejecta decl…

Morphological evolution of galaxies from ultradeep HST WFC3 imaging: the Hubble sequence at z~2

Daniel Szomoru, Marijn Franx, Rychard J. Bouwens +4

We use ultradeep HST WFC3/IR imaging of the HUDF to investigate the rest-frame optical morphologies of a mass-selected sample of galaxies at z~2. We find a large variety of galaxy…

How common are Earth-Moon planetary systems?

Sebastian Elser, Ben Moore, Joachim Stadel +1

The Earth's comparatively massive moon, formed via a giant impact on the proto-Earth, has played an important role in the development of life on our planet, both in the history and…

Supernova Constraints and Systematic Uncertainties from the First 3 Years of the Supernova Legacy Survey

A. Conley, J. Guy, M. Sullivan +33

We combine high redshift Type Ia supernovae from the first 3 years of the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) with other supernova (SN) samples, primarily at lower redshifts, to form a…

Solar irradiance variability: A six-year comparison between SORCE observations and the SATIRE model

Will T. Ball, Yvonne C. Unruh, Natalie A. Krivova +2

Aims: We investigate how well modeled solar irradiances agree with measurements from the SORCE satellite, both for total solar irradiance and broken down into spectral regions on t…

SNLS3: Constraints on Dark Energy Combining the Supernova Legacy Survey Three Year Data with Other Probes

M. Sullivan, J. Guy, A. Conley +33

We present observational constraints on the nature of dark energy using the Supernova Legacy Survey three year sample (SNLS3) of Guy et al. (2010) and Conley et al. (2011). We use…

Solar EUV Spectrum Calculated for Quiet Sun Conditions

Margit Haberreiter

We present spectral synthesis calculations of the solar extreme UV (EUV) in spherical symmetry carried out with the 'Solar Modeling in 3D' code. The calculations are based on one-d…

Observing Evolution in the Supergranular Length Scale During Periods of Low Solar Activity

Scott W. McIntosh, Robert J. Leamon, Rachel A. Hock +2

We present the initial results of an observational study into the variation of the dominant length-scale of quiet solar emission: supergranulation. This length-scale reflects the r…

The initial conditions of high-mass star formation: radiative transfer models of IRDCs seen in the Herschel Hi-GAL survey

L. A. Wilcock, J. M. Kirk, D. Stamatellos +13

The densest infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) may represent the earliest observable stage of high-mass star formation. These clouds are very cold, hence they emit mainly at far-infrared…
