The Nature of Angular Momentum Transport in Radiative Self-Gravitating Protostellar Discs
Duncan Forgan, Ken Rice, Peter Cossins +1
Semi-analytic models of self-gravitating discs often approximate the angular momentum transport generated by the gravitational instability using the phenomenology of viscosity. Thi…
Native Synthetic Imaging of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics density fields using gridless Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer
Duncan Forgan, Ken Rice
An algorithm for creating synthetic telescope images of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) density fields is presented, which utilises the adaptive nature of the SPH formalism i…
The Entropy Principle and the Influence of Sociological Pressures on SETI
Vladimir Bozhilov, Duncan H. Forgan
We begin with the premise that the law of entropy could prove to be fundamental for the evolution of intelligent life and the advent of technological civilization. Building on rece…
Numerical Testing of The Rare Earth Hypothesis using Monte Carlo Realisation Techniques
Duncan H. Forgan, Ken Rice
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has thus far failed to provide a convincing detection of intelligent life. In the wake of this null signal, many "contact pessim…
