An Explicit Scheme for Incorporating Ambipolar Diffusion in a Magnetohydrodynamics Code
Eunwoo Choi, Jongsoo Kim, Paul J. Wiita
We describe a method for incorporating ambipolar diffusion in the strong coupling approximation into a multidimensional magnetohydrodynamics code based on the total variation dimin…
Formation and Properties of Molecular Cloud Cores
Sami Dib, Roberto Galvan-Madrid, Jongsoo Kim +1
In this paper, we review some of the properties of dense molecular cloud cores. The results presented here rely on three-dimensional numerical simulations of isothermal, magnetized…
Physical Properties of Tidal Features in Interacting Disk Galaxies
Sang Hoon Oh, Woong-Tae Kim, Hyung Mok Lee +1
We explore tidal interactions of a galactic disk with Toomre parameter Q ~ 2 embedded in rigid halo/bulge with a point mass companion moving in a prescribed parabolic orbit. Tidal…
Core Mass Function: The Role of Gravity
Sami Dib, Axel Brandenburg, Jongsoo Kim +2
We analyze the mass distribution of cores formed in an isothermal, magnetized, turbulent, and self-gravitating nearly critical molecular cloud model. Cores are identified at two de…
Primordial Mass Segregation in Starburst Stellar Clusters
Sami Dib, Mohsen Shadmehri, Maheswar Gopinathan +2
We present a model to explain the mass segregation and shallow mass functions observed in the central parts of dense and young starburst stellar clusters. The model assumes that th…
The Origin of the Arches Stellar Cluster Mass Function
Sami Dib, Jongsoo Kim, Mohsen Shadmehri
We investigate the time evolution of the mass distribution of pre-stellar cores (PSCs) and their transition to the initial stellar mass function (IMF) in the central parts of a mol…
