Particle-in-cell Simulation of the Neutrino Fast Flavor Instability
Sherwood Richers, Don E. Willcox, Nicole M. Ford +1
Neutrinos drive core-collapse supernovae, launch outflows from neutron star merger accretion disks, and set the ratio of protons to neutrons in ejecta from both systems that genera…
What Physics Determines the Peak of the IMF? Insights from the Structure of Cores in Radiation-Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations
Mark R. Krumholz, Andrew T. Myers, Richard I. Klein +1
As star-forming clouds collapse, the gas within them fragments to ever-smaller masses. Naively one might expect this process to continue down to the smallest mass that is able to r…
A 4th-Order Particle-in-Cell Method with Phase-Space Remapping for the Vlasov-Poisson Equation
Andrew Myers, Phillip Colella, Brian Van Straalen
Numerical solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson system of equations have important applications to both plasma physics and cosmology. In this paper, we present a new Particle-in-Cell (PI…
The CH+ Abundance in Turbulent, Diffuse Molecular Clouds
Andrew Myers, Christopher McKee, Pak Shing Li
The intermittent dissipation of interstellar turbulence is an important energy source in the diffuse ISM. Though on average smaller than the heating rates due to cosmic rays and th…
The Convergence of Particle-in-Cell Schemes for Cosmological Dark Matter Simulations
Andrew Myers, Phillip Colella, Brian Van Straalen
Particle methods are a ubiquitous tool for solving the Vlasov-Poisson equation in comoving coordinates, which is used to model the gravitational evolution of dark matter in an expa…
Star Cluster Formation in Turbulent, Magnetized Dense Clumps with Radiative and Outflow Feedback
Andrew Myers, Richard Klein, Mark Krumholz +1
We present three Orion simulations of star cluster formation in a 1000 Msun, turbulent molecular cloud clump, including the effects of radiative transfer, protostellar outflows, an…
