Cosmic String Detection via Microlensing of Stars
David F. Chernoff, S. -H. Henry Tye
Cosmic superstrings are produced towards the end of the brane inflation. If the string tension is low enough, loops tend to be relatively long-lived. The resultant string network i…
On the Origin of the most massive stars around R136
B. R. Brandl, S. Portegies Zwart, A. J. F. Moffat +1
We discuss the signature of a peculiar constellation of very massive stars at a projected distance of 2-3 pc around R136a. We discuss various scenarios for its possible origin, suc…
Molecule Formation In and On Grains.I: Physical Regimes
Amir Levinson, David F. Chernoff, Edwin E. Salpeter
We study molecular hydrogen formation in and on solids. We construct a model with surface sites and bulk sites capable of describing (1) the motion and exchange of H and H_2 betwee…
