Effects of magnetic fields on radiatively overstable shock waves
Paul A. Kimoto, David F. Chernoff
We discuss high-resolution simulations of one-dimensional, plane-parallel shock waves with mean speeds between 150 and 240 km/s propagating into gas with Alfven velocities up to 40…
Neutron Star Population Dynamics.II: 3D Space Velocities of Young Pulsars
J. M. Cordes, David F. Chernoff
We use astrometric, distance and spindown data on pulsars to: (1) estimate three-dimensional velocity components, birth distances from the galactic plane, and ages of individual ob…
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…
Neutron Star Population Dynamics.I: Millisecond Pulsars
J. M. Cordes, David F. Chernoff
We study the field millisecond pulsar (MSP) population to infer its intrinsic distribution in spin period and luminosity and to determine its spatial distribution within the Galaxy…
Radiative instabilities in simulations of spherically symmetric supernova blast waves
Paul A. Kimoto, David F. Chernoff
High-resolution simulations of the cooling regions of spherically symmetric supernova remnants demonstrate a strong radiative instability. This instability, whose presence is depen…
