A Nonlinear General Implicit Runge-Kutta Integrator for Multifluid Charged Dust and Gas

Mengxuan Chen, Hui Li, Chong-Chong He +3

Charged dust in magnetized gas is subject to aerodynamic drag and the Lorentz force, both of which can be difficult to model numerically in a fluid simulation where their character…

Magnetising the quokka code with fast, second-order accurate, error-correcting schemes for magnetohydrodynamics on GPUs

Neco Kriel, Elizabeth Cole-Kodikara, Benjamin Wibking +4

We implement a second-order accurate constrained transport (CT) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) module with first-order flux correction in the open-source, adaptive mesh refinement (AMR…

A novel algorithm for GPU-accelerated particle-mesh interactions implemented in the QUOKKA code

Chong-Chong He, Benjamin D. Wibking, Aditi Vijayan +2

We present a novel, GPU-optimized algorithm for particle-mesh interactions in grid-based hydrodynamics simulations, designed for massively parallel architectures. This approach ove…

A novel numerical method for mixed-frame multigroup radiation-hydrodynamics with GPU acceleration implemented in the QUOKKA code

Chong-Chong He, Benjamin D. Wibking, Mark R. Krumholz

Mixed-frame formulations of radiation-hydrodynamics (RHD), where the radiation quantities are computed in an inertial frame but matter quantities are in a comoving frame, are advan…

An Asymptotically-Correct Implicit-Explicit Time Integration Scheme for Finite Volume Radiation-Hydrodynamics

Chong-Chong He, Benjamin D. Wibking, Mark R. Krumholz

Numerical radiation-hydrodynamics (RHD) for non-relativistic flows is a challenging problem because it encompasses processes acting over a very broad range of timescales, and where…

Formation of Large Circumstellar Discs in Multi-scale, ideal-MHD Simulations of Magnetically Critical Pre-stellar Cores

Chong-Chong He, Massimo Ricotti

The formation of circumstellar discs is a critical step in the formation of stars and planets. Magnetic fields can strongly affect the evolution of angular momentum during prestell…

Bimodal Star Formation in Simulations of Strongly Magnetized Giant Molecular Clouds

Ronan Hix, Chong-Chong He, Massimo Ricotti

We present the results of a set of radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of turbulent molecular clouds in which we vary the initial strength of the magnetic field within a rang…

Massive Prestellar Cores in Radiation-magneto-turbulent Simulations of Molecular Clouds

Chong-Chong He, Massimo Ricotti

We simulate the formation and collapse of prestellar cores at few-AU resolution in a set of radiation-magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) using the gr…

Robust inference of neutron-star parameters from thermonuclear burst observations

D. K. Galloway, Z. Johnston, A. J. Goodwin +1

Thermonuclear (type-I) bursts arise from unstable ignition of accumulated fuel on the surface of neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries. Measurements of burst properties in princ…

A Fast and Accurate Analytic Method of Calculating Galaxy Two-point Correlation Functions

Chong-Chong He

We have developed a new analytic method to calculate the galaxy two-point correlation functions (TPCFs) accurately and efficiently, applicable to surveys with finite, regular, and…

Simulating Star Clusters Across Cosmic Time: II. Escape Fraction of Ionizing Photons from Molecular Clouds

Chong-Chong He, Massimo Ricotti, Sam Geen

We calculate the hydrogen and helium-ionizing radiation escaping star-forming molecular clouds, as a function of the star cluster mass and compactness, using a set of high-resoluti…

Simulating Star Clusters Across Cosmic Time: I. Initial Mass Function, Star Formation Rates and Efficiencies

Chong-Chong He, Massimo Ricotti, Sam Geen

We present radiation-magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of star formation in self-gravitating, turbulent molecular clouds, modeling the formation of individual massive stars, includi…

Anisotropy of X-ray bursts from neutron stars with concave accretion disks

Chong-Chong He, Laurens Keek

Emission from neutron stars and accretion disks in low-mass X-ray binaries is not isotropic. The non-spherical shape of the disk as well as blocking of the neutron star by the disk…
