Terrestrial Effects Of Nearby Supernovae In The Early Pleistocene
Brian C. Thomas, E. E. Engler, M. Kachelrieß +3
Recent results have strongly confirmed that multiple supernovae happened at distances ~100 pc consisting of two main events: one at 1.7 to 3.2 million years ago, and the other at 6…
Can periodicity in low altitude cloud cover be induced by cosmic ray variability in the extragalactic shock model?
Dimitra Atri, Brian C. Thomas, Adrian L. Melott +2
Variation in high energy cosmic rays (HECRs) has been proposed to explain a 62 My periodicity in terrestrial fossil biodiversity. It has been suggested that the infall of our galax…
Gravitational instability in the strongly nonlinear regime: A study of various approximations
B. S. Sathyaprakash, V. Sahni, D. Munshi +2
We study the development of gravitational instability in the strongly non-linear regime. For this purpose we use a number of statistical indicators such as filamentary statistics,…
Optimizing the Zel'dovich Approximation
A. L. Melott, T. F. Pellman, S. F. Shandarin
We have recently learned that the Zeldovich approximation can be successfully used for a far wider range of gravitational instability scenarios than formerly proposed; we study her…
Quantitative Analysis of Voids in Percolating Structures in Two-Dimensional N-Body Simulations
P. M. Harrington, A. L. Melott, S. F. Shandarin
We present in this paper a quantitative method for defining void size in large-scale structure based on percolation threshold density. Beginning with two-dimensional gravitational…
