Exact Scalar-Tensor Cosmological Models

J. A. Belinchón, T. Harko, M. K. Mak

Scalar-tensor gravitational theories are important extensions of standard general relativity, which can explain both the initial inflationary evolution, as well as the late acceler…

Structure of radiation dominated gravitoturbulent quasar discs

Mohsen Shadmehri, Fazeleh Khajenabi, Sami Dib

Self-gravitating accretion discs in a gravitoturbulent state, including radiation and gas pressures, are studied using a set of new analytical solutions. While the Toomre parameter…

Jacobi stability analysis of scalar field models with minimal coupling to gravity in a cosmological background

Bogdan Dănilă, Tiberiu Harko, Man Kwong Mak +2

We perform the study of the stability of the cosmological scalar field models, by using the Jacobi stability analysis, or the Kosambi-Cartan-Chern (KCC) theory. In the KCC approach…

Olivine on Vesta as exogenous contaminants brought by impacts: Constraints from modeling Vesta's collisional history and from impact simulations

D. Turrini, V. Svetsov, G. Consolmagno +2

The survival of asteroid Vesta during the violent early history of the Solar System is a pivotal constraint on theories of planetary formation. Particularly important from this per…

Massive stars reveal variations of the stellar initial mass function in the Milky Way stellar clusters

Sami Dib, Stefan Schmeja, Sacha Hony

We investigate whether the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is universal, or whether it varies significantly among young stellar clusters in the Milky Way. We propose a method t…
