From Molecular Clouds to the IMF: Spatial and Temporal Effects
Shantanu Basu, Sayantan Auddy
We review star formation in molecular clouds and describe why magnetic fields may be important and how they can influence filamentary structure and the column density probability d…
The Effect of Magnetic Fields and Ambipolar Diffusion on the Column Density Probability Distribution Function in Molecular Clouds
Sayantan Auddy, Shantanu Basu, Takahiro Kudoh
Simulations generally show that non-self-gravitating clouds have a lognormal column density () probability distribution function (PDF), while self-gravitating clouds with active…
Magnetic Ribbons: A Minimum Hypothesis Model for Filaments
Sayantan Auddy, Shantanu Basu, Takahiro Kudoh
We develop a magnetic ribbon model for molecular cloud filaments. These result from turbulent compression in a molecular cloud in which the background magnetic field sets a preferr…
The Anomalous Magnetic Moment of a Photon Propagating in a Magnetic Field
Julian W. Mielniczuk, Darrell Lamm, Sayantan Auddy +1
We analyze the spectrum of the Hamiltonian of a photon propagating in a strong magnetic field , where Gauss…
Gravitational Wave Background in the Quasi-Steady State Cosmology
J. V. Narlikar, S. V. Dhurandhar, R. G. Vishwakarma +2
This paper calculates the expected gravitational wave background (GWB) in the quasi-steady state cosmology (QSSC). The principal sources of gravitational waves in the QSSC are the…
The MLP Distribution: A Modified Lognormal Power-Law Model for the Stellar Initial Mass Function
Shantanu Basu, M. Gil, Sayantan Auddy
This work explores the mathematical properties of a distribution introduced by Basu & Jones (2004), and applies it to model the stellar initial mass function (IMF). The distributio…
