Wave-Driven Shocks in Stellar Outbursts: Dynamics, Envelope Heating, and Nascent Blastwaves
Christopher D. Matzner, Stephen Ro
We address the shocks from acoustic pulses and wave trains in general one-dimensional flows, with an emphasis on the application to super-Eddington outbursts in massive stars. Usin…
On Linear and Nonlinear Acoustics in Stratified, Variable-Area Ducts and Atmospheres, and Lighthill's Proposition
Christopher D. Matzner, Stephen Ro
We consider linear and nonlinear waves in a stratified hydrostatic fluid within a channel of variable area, under the restriction of one-dimensional flow. We derive a modified vers…
Relative Alignment between Dense Molecular Cores and Ambient Magnetic Field: The Synergy of Numerical Models and Observations
Che-Yu Chen, Erica A. Behrens, Jasmin E. Washington +26
The role played by magnetic field during star formation is an important topic in astrophysics. We investigate the correlation between the orientation of star-forming cores (as defi…
Velocity-coherent Filaments in NGC 1333: Evidence for Accretion Flow?
Michael Chun-Yuan Chen, James Di Francesco, Erik Rosolowsky +11
Recent observations of global velocity gradients across and along molecular filaments have been interpreted as signs of gas accreting onto and along these filaments, potentially fe…
