Gyrokinetic turbulence: a nonlinear route to dissipation through phase space
A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley, W. Dorland +5
This paper describes a conceptual framework for understanding kinetic plasma turbulence as a generalized form of energy cascade in phase space. It is emphasized that conversion of…
Time-Dependent Models of Accretion Disks Formed from Compact Object Mergers
B. D. Metzger, A. L. Piro, E. Quataert
We present time-dependent models of the accretion disks created during compact object mergers, focusing on the energy available from accretion at late times and the composition of…
Nonlinear Saturation of g-modes in Proto-Neutron Stars: Quieting the Acoustic Engine
Nevin N. Weinberg, Eliot Quataert
According to Burrows et al.'s acoustic mechanism for core-collapse supernova explosions, the primary, l=1, g-mode in the core of the proto-neutron star is excited to an energy of ~…
Short Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts with Extended Emission from Proto-Magnetar Spin-Down
B. D. Metzger, E. Quataert, Todd A. Thompson
Evidence is growing for a class of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) characterized by an initial ~0.1-1 s spike of hard radiation followed, after a ~3-10 s lull in emission, by a softer peri…
