Thermal damping of Weak Magnetosonic Turbulence in the Interstellar Medium
Kedron Silsbee, Alexei V. Ivlev, Munan Gong
We present a generic mechanism for the thermal damping of compressive waves in the interstellar medium (ISM), occurring due to radiative cooling. We solve for the dispersion relati…
Cosmic ray tracks in astrophysical ices: Modeling with the Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo Toolkit
Christopher N. Shingledecker, Sebastien Incerti, Alexei Ivlev +4
Cosmic rays are ubiquitous in interstellar environments, and their bombardment of dust-grain ice mantles is a possible driver for the formation of complex, even prebiotic molecules…
Exclusion of cosmic rays from molecular clouds by self-generated electric fields
Kedron Silsbee, Alexei V. Ivlev
It was recently discovered that in some regions of the Galaxy, the cosmic ray (CR) abundance is several orders of magnitude higher than previously thought. Additionally, there is e…
Formation of the cosmic-ray halo: Galactic spectrum of primary cosmic rays
V. A. Dogiel, A. V. Ivlev, D. O. Chernyshov +1
A self-consistent model of a one-dimensional cosmic-ray (CR) halo around the Galactic disk is formulated with the restriction to a minimum number of free parameters. It is demonstr…
Buckling of 2D Plasma Crystals with Non-reciprocal Interactions
A. V. Zampetaki, H. Huang, C. -R. Du +2
Laboratory realizations of 2D plasma crystals typically involve monodisperse microparticles confined into horizontal monolayers in radio-frequency (rf) plasma sheaths. This gives r…
Rapid Elimination of Small Dust Grains in Molecular Clouds
Kedron Silsbee, Alexei Ivlev, Paola Caselli +2
We argue that impact velocities between dust grains with sizes less than in molecular cloud cores are dominated by drift arising from ambipolar diffusion. This effe…
