The Limiting Stellar Initial Mass for Black Hole Formation in Close Binary Systems
C. L. Fryer, A. Heger, N. Langer +1
We present models for the complete life and death of a 60 solar mass star evolving in a close binary system, from the main sequence phase to the formation of a compact remnant and…
System size resonance in coupled noisy systems and in the Ising model
A. Pikovsky, A. Zaikin, M. A. de la Casa
We consider an ensemble of coupled nonlinear noisy oscillators demonstrating in the thermodynamic limit an Ising-type transition. In the ordered phase and for finite ensembles stoc…
The Double Quasar HE1104-1805: a case study for time delay determination with poorly sampled lightcurves
R. Gil-Merino, L. Wisotzki, J. Wambsganss
We present a new determination of the time delay of the gravitational lens system HE1104-1805 ('Double Hamburger') based on a previously unpublished dataset. We argue that the prev…
Abbott Wave-Triggered Runaway in Line-Driven Winds from Stars and Accretion Disks
Achim Feldmeier, Isaac Shlosman
Line-driven winds from stars and accretion disks are accelerated by scattering in numerous line transitions. The wind is believed to adopt a unique critical solution, out of the in…
Runaway Acceleration of Line-Driven Winds: the Role of the Outer Boundary
Achim Feldmeier, Isaac Shlosman, Wolf-Rainer Hamann
Observations and theory suggest that line driven winds from hot stars and luminous accretion disks adopt a unique, critical solution which corresponds to maximum mass loss rate. We…
Front speed enhancement in cellular flows
M. Abel, M. Cencini, D. Vergni +1
The problem of front propagation in a stirred medium is addressed in the case of cellular flows in three different regimes: slow reaction, fast reaction and geometrical optics limi…
