Dynamical and thermal evolution of the quark-nova ejecta
Rachid Ouyed, Denis Leahy
We explore the dynamical and thermal evolution of the ejected neutron star crust in a Quark-Nova explosion. Typical explosion energies and ejected crust masses result in relativist…
Quark-Novae, cosmic reionization, and early r-process element production
R. Ouyed, R. E. Pudritz, P. Jaikumar
We examine the case for Quark-Novae (QNe) as possible sources for the reionization and early metal enrichment of the universe. Quark-Novae are predicted to arise from the explosive…
Quark-nova remnants IV: Application to radio emitting AXP transients
Rachid Ouyed, Denis Leahy, Brian Niebergal
(Abridged) XTE J1810-197 and 1E 1547.0-5408 are two transient AXPs exhibiting radio emission with unusual properties. In addition, their spin down rates during outburst show opposi…
The role of jets in the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies
Ralph E. Pudritz, Robi Banerjee, Rachid Ouyed
Astrophysical jets are associated with the formation of young stars of all masses, stellar and massive black holes, and perhaps even with the formation of massive planets. Their ro…
3-d resistive MHD simulations of magnetic reconnection and the tearing mode instability in current sheets
G. C. Murphy, Rachid Ouyed, Guy Pelletier
Magnetic reconnection plays a critical role in many astrophysical processes where high energy emission is observed, e.g. particle acceleration, relativistic accretion powered outfl…
