Fluctuations and Bubble Dynamics in First-Order Phase Transitions
Mark Abney
We numerically examine the effect of thermal fluctuations on a first-order phase transition in 2+1 dimensions. By focusing on the expansion of a single bubble we are able to calcul…
Observational constraints on the Internal Structure and Dynamics of the Vela Pulsar
Mark Abney, Richard I Epstein, Angela V Olinto
We show that the short spin-up time observed for the Vela pulsar during the 1988 ``Christmas'' glitch implies that the coupling time of the pulsar core to its crust is less than $\…
Reconstructing the Inflaton Potential --- an Overview
James E Lidsey, Andrew R Liddle, Edward W Kolb +3
We review the relation between the inflationary potential and the spectra of density (scalar) perturbations and gravitational waves (tensor perturbations) produced, with particular…
Ekman Pumping in Compact Astrophysical Bodies
Mark Abney, Richard I Epstein
We examine the dynamics of a rotating viscous fluid following an abrupt change in the angular velocity of the solid bounding surface. We include the effects of a density stratifica…
Reconstructing the Inflaton Potential
Edward W Kolb, Mark Abney, Edmund J Copeland +2
A review is presented of recent work by the authors concerning the use of large scale structure and microwave background anisotropy data to determine the potential of the inflaton…
Hydrodynamic Detonation Instability in Electroweak and QCD Phase Transitions
Mark Abney
The hydrodynamic stability of deflagration and detonation bubbles for a first order electroweak and QCD phase transition has been discussed recently with the suggestion that detona…
