Fast dissipation of Colliding Alfvén Waves in a Magnetically Dominated Plasma
Xinyu Li, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Lorenzo Sironi
Magnetic energy around compact objects often dominates over plasma rest mass, and its dissipation can power the object luminosity. We describe a dissipation mechanism which works f…
Neutrino Fast Flavor Conversions in Neutron-star Post-Merger Accretion Disks
Xinyu Li, Daniel M. Siegel
A compact accretion disk may be formed in the merger of two neutron stars or of a neutron star and a stellar-mass black hole. Outflows from such accretion disks have been identifie…
Don't cross the streams: caustics from Fuzzy Dark Matter
Neal Dalal, Jo Bovy, Lam Hui +1
We study how tidal streams from globular clusters may be used to constrain the mass of ultra-light dark matter particles, called `fuzzy' dark matter (FDM). A general feature of FDM…
Oscillations and Random Walk of the Soliton Core in a Fuzzy Dark Matter Halo
Xinyu Li, Lam Hui, Tomer D. Yavetz
A Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) halo consists of a soliton core close to the center and an NFW-like density profile in the outer region. Previous investigations found that the soliton co…
Vortices and waves in light dark matter
Lam Hui, Austin Joyce, Michael J. Landry +1
In a galactic halo like the Milky Way, bosonic dark matter particles lighter than about eV have a de Broglie wavelength larger than the average inter-particle separation and a…
Simulation of a Compact Object with Outflows Moving Through a Gaseous Background
Xinyu Li, Philip Chang, Yuri Levin +2
A compact object moving relative to surrounding gas accretes material and perturbs the density of gas in its vicinity. In the classical picture of Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion,…
