The Ultimate Halo Mass in a LCDM Universe
Michael T. Busha, August E. Evrard, Fred C. Adams +1
In the far future of an accelerating LCDM cosmology, the cosmic web of large-scale structure consists of a set of increasingly isolated halos in dynamical equilibrium. We examine t…
Generalized Collapse Solutions with Nonzero Initial Velocities for Star Formation in Molecular Cloud Cores
M. Fatuzzo, F. C. Adams, P. C. Myers
Motivated by recent observations that show starless molecular cloud cores exhibit subsonic inward velocities, we revisit the collapse problem for polytropic gaseous spheres. In par…
Core-Accretion Model Predicts Few Jovian-Mass Planets Orbiting Red Dwarfs
Gregory Laughlin, Peter Bodenheimer, Fred C. Adams
The favored theoretical explanation for giant planet formation -- in both our solar system and others -- is the core accretion model (although it still has some serious difficultie…
Photoevaporation of Circumstellar Disks due to External FUV Radiation in Stellar Aggregates
Fred C. Adams, David Hollenbach, Gregory Laughlin +1
When stars form in small groups (N = 100 - 500 members), their circumstellar disks are exposed to little EUV radiation but a great deal of FUV radiation from massive stars in the g…
Possible Limits on Photon Propagation from Quantum Gravity and Space-time Foam
Manasse Mbonye, Fred C. Adams
Many quantum gravity theories imply that the vacuum is filled with virtual black holes. This paper explores the process in which high energy photons interact with virtual black hol…
