Turbulence-Induced Relative Velocity of Dust Particles III: The Probability Distribution
Liubin Pan, Paolo Padoan, John Scalo
Motivated by its important role in the collisional growth of dust particles in protoplanetary disks, we investigate the probability distribution function (PDF) of the relative velo…
Turbulence-Induced Relative Velocity of Dust Particles II: The Bidisperse Case
Liubin Pan, Paolo Padoan, John Scalo
We extend our earlier work on turbulence-induced relative velocity between equal-size particles (Pan and Padoan, Paper I) to particles of arbitrarily different sizes. The Pan and P…
Modeling the Pollution of Pristine Gas in the Early Universe
Liubin Pan, Evan Scannapieco, John Scalo
We conduct a comprehensive theoretical and numerical investigation of the pollution of pristine gas in turbulent flows, designed to provide new tools for modeling the evolution of…
The Pollution of Pristine Material in Compressible Turbulence
Liubin Pan, Evan Scannapieco, John Scalo
The first generation of stars had very different properties than later stellar generations, as they formed from a "pristine" gas that was free of heavy elements. Normal star format…
Turbulent Clustering of Protoplanetary Dust and Planetesimal Formation
Liubin Pan, Paolo Padoan, John Scalo +2
We study clustering of inertial particles in turbulent flows and discuss its applications to dust particles in protoplanetary disks. Using numerical simulations, we compute the rad…
M Star Astrosphere Size Fluctuations and Habitable Planet Descreening
David S. Smith, John M. Scalo
Stellar astrospheres--the plasma cocoons carved out of the interstellar medium by stellar winds--are continually influenced by their passage through the fluctuating interstellar me…
