Double-Diffusive Mixing-Length Theory, Semiconvection, and Massive Star Evolution
Scott A. Grossman, Ronald E. Taam
Double-diffusive convection refers to mixing where the effects of thermal and composition gradients compete to determine the stability of a fluid. In addition to the familiar fast…
A Theory of Non-Local Mixing Length Convection. III. Comparing Theory and Numerical Experiment
Scott Grossman
We solve the nonlocal convection equations. The solutions for four model problems are compared with results of GSPH simulations. In each case we test two closure schemes: 1) where…
The Statistics of Gamma Ray Burst Lensing
S. A. Grossman, M. A. Nowak
Possibly the only unambiguous verification that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are at cosmological distances would be the observation of multiple images of a gravitationally lensed burst.…
Can We Identify Lensed Gamma Ray Bursts?
M. A. Nowak, S. A. Grossman
A gravitationally lensed gamma-ray burst (GRB) would appear as multiple bursts with identical light curves, separated in time and differing only by the scaling of their amplitudes.…
