Heating of Milky Way disc Stars by Dark Matter Fluctuations in Cold Dark Matter and Fuzzy Dark Matter Paradigms
Benjamin V. Church, Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Philip Mocz
Although highly successful on cosmological scales, Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models predict unobserved over-dense `cusps' in dwarf galaxies and overestimate their formation rate. We c…
Star formation from dense shocked regions in supersonic isothermal magneto-turbulence
Philip Mocz, Blakesley Burkhart
Supersonic isothermal turbulence establishes a network of transient dense shocks that sweep up material and have a density profile described by balance between ram pressure of the…
The Self-gravitating Gas Fraction and The Critical Density for Star Formation
Blakesley Burkhart, Philip Mocz
We analytically calculate the star formation efficiency and dense self-gravitating gas fraction in the presence of magneto-gravo-turbulence using the model of Burkhart (2018), whic…
Evolution of the Black Hole Mass Function in Star Clusters from Multiple Mergers
Pierre Christian, Philip Mocz, Abraham Loeb
We investigate the effects of black hole mergers in star clusters on the black hole mass function. As black holes are not produced in pair-instability supernovae, it is suggested t…
On the Schrodinger-Poisson--Vlasov-Poisson correspondence
Philip Mocz, Lachlan Lancaster, Anastasia Fialkov +2
The Schrödinger-Poisson equations describe the behavior of a superfluid Bose-Einstein condensate under self-gravity with a 3D wave function. As , being the boson…
