Laser Metrology for Precision Alignment of Transmission Gratings in the REDSoX Soft X-ray Polarimeter
Swati Ravi, Alan Garner, Jill Juneau +4
The Rocket Experiment Demonstration of a Soft X-ray Polarimeter (REDSoX) is a NASA sounding-rocket mission designed to perform the first astrophysical spectropolarimetry in the 0.2…
Centrally concentrated star formation in young clusters II: Jet feedback
Adilkhan Assilkhan, Sabrina M. Appel, Bekdaulet Shukirgaliyev +5
Protostellar jets are one of the earliest forms of stellar feedback, but their impact on star formation and cluster assembly in centrally concentrated molecular clouds remains poor…
Evolution of fractality in centrally concentrated young clusters
Almat Akhmetali, Adilkhan Assilkhan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +6
We investigate the structural evolution of young star clusters forming within centrally concentrated molecular clouds. Our simulations use the Torch framework, which integrates the…
Active Galactic Nucleus Tori: Potential Birthplace to Millions of Planets
Bhupendra Mishra, Wladimir Lyra, Barry McKernan +3
The outer regions of AGN disks have temperatures similar to those of circumstellar disks, permitting dust condensation. Therefore, planet formation and growth could be active in th…
Iterative Poisson Solvers for Self-gravity with the GPU Code Astaroth
Ruben Krasnopolsky, Touko Puro, Wei-Wen Li +5
We present the development and benchmarking of Poisson solvers for graphics processing units (GPUs). Implemented in the Astaroth platform, the solvers feature high computational ef…
AGN Disks as Supernova Mufflers I: 3D Local Hydrodynamic Models
Harrison E. Cook, Wladimir Lyra, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +2
Supernova (SN) shocks that originate from stars on orbits embedded in dense active galactic nuclei (AGN) accretion disks evolve differently from those that occur in the interstella…
