Kinetically stabilized inflation

Changhong Li, Hao Gong, Yeuk-kwan Edna Cheung

In this work, we propose a string-inspired two fields inflation model to address the fine-tuning problem that the standard inflation model suffers. The fast-rolling tachyon $\mathc…

Implementation of Sink Particles in the Athena Code

Hao Gong, Eve C. Ostriker

We describe implementation and tests of sink particle algorithms in the Eulerian grid-based code Athena. Introduction of sink particles enables long-term evolution of systems in wh…

The Wigner solution of quark gap equation at nonzero current quark mass and partial restoration of chiral symmetry at finite chemical potential

Yu Jiang, Hao Gong, Wei-min Sun +1

According to the generally accepted phase diagram of QCD, at low temperature and high baryon number density the chiral phase transition of QCD is of first order and the co-existenc…

Dense core formation in supersonic turbulent converging flows

Hao Gong, Eve C. Ostriker

We use numerical hydrodynamic simulations to investigate prestellar core formation in the dynamic environment of giant molecular clouds, focusing on planar post-shock layers produc…

Protostar Formation in Supersonic Flows: Growth and Collapse of Spherical Cores

Hao Gong, Eve C. Ostriker

We present a unified model for molecular core formation and evolution, based on numerical simulations of converging, supersonic flows. Our model applies to star formation in GMCs d…

Magnetically Aligned Velocity Anisotropy in the Taurus Molecular Cloud

Mark Heyer, Hao Gong, Eve Ostriker +1

Velocity anisotropy induced by MHD turbulence is investigated using computational simulations and molecular line observations of the Taurus molecular cloud. A new analysis method i…
