On Exact Polytropic Equilibria of Self-Gravitating Gaseous and Radiative Systems: Their Application to Molecular Cloud Condensation
Mitsuru Honda, Yasuko. S. Honda
We propose a novel mathematical method to construct an exact polytropic sphere in self-gravitating hydrostatic equilibrium, improving the non-linear Poisson equation. The central b…

Acceleration of Particles by Oblique Shocks and Cosmic Ray Spectra around the Knee Region
K. Kobayakawa, Y. S. Honda, T. Samura
We examine the first order Fermi acceleration on the presumption that supernova remnant shocks cross ambient magnetic fields with various angles. These oblique shocks accelerate pa…
