The Multiplicity of Main Sequence Turnoffs in Globular Clusters

M. V. Ryabova, Yu. A. Shchekinov

We present color-magnitude diagrams of globular clusters for models with self-enrichment and pre-enrichment. The models with self-enrichment turn out to have two or more main seque…

Low-temperature primordial gas in merging halos

E. O. Vasiliev, Yu. A. Shchekinov

Thermal regime of the baryons behind shock waves arising in the process of virialization of dark matter halos is governed at cetrain conditions by radiation of HD lines. A small fr…

The influence of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays on star formation in the early universe

E. O. Vasiliev, Yu. A. Shchekinov

The presence of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) results in an increase in the degree of ionization in the post-recombination Universe, which stimulates the efficiency of the…

Primordial gas cooling behind shock waves in merging halos

E. O. Vasiliev, Yu. A. Shchekinov

We investigate thermal regime of the baryons behind shock waves arising in the process of virialization of dark matter halos. We find a fraction of the shocked gas cooled by radiat…

Contribution of HD molecules in cooling of the primordial gas

E. O. Vasiliev, Yu. A. Shchekinov

We study the effects of HD molecules on thermochemical evolution of the primordial gas behind shock waves, possibly arised in the process of galaxy formation. We find the critical…

The Minimum Stellar Mass in Early Galaxies

E. O. Vasiliev, Yu. A. Shchekinov

The conditions for the fragmentation of the baryonic component during merging of dark matter halos in the early Universe are studied. We assume that the baryonic component undergoe…

Formation of HD molecules in merging dark matter haloes

Yu. A. Shchekinov, E. O. Vasiliev

HD molecules can be an important cooling agent of the primordial gas behind the shock waves originated through mergings of the dark matter haloes at epochs when first luminous obje…

The generation of low-energy cosmic rays in molecular clouds

Yu. A. Shchekinov

It is argued that if cosmic rays penetrate into molecular clouds, the total energy they lose can exceed the energy from galactic supernovae shocks. It is shown that most likely gal…

Dusty plasmas on galactic scales

Yu. A. Shchekinov

Interstellar dust is spread in galaxies over large scales, often far beyond the stellar disks. Several mechanisms can be responsible for carrying the dust both in the vertical and…

Comparing AGN broad- and narrow-line regions

Nicola Bennert, Heino Falcke, Yuri Shchekinov +1

We compare recent HST observations of Seyfert and quasar NLRs and find that type-2 AGNs follow a relation consistent with that expected for a distribution of gas ionized by a centr…

Primordial star formation triggered by UV photons from UHECR

Yu. A. Shchekinov, E. O. Vasiliev

The presence of ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the universe in the pre-ionization epoch enhances significantly H kinetics in virialized halos. It results in more efficient ra…

Synchrotron emission from circumstellar disks around massive stars

Yu. A. Shchekinov, A. M. Sobolev

We argue that the interaction of stellar wind with the surface of a circumstellar accretion (or protoplanetary) disk can result in the acceleration of relativistic electrons in an…

HI holes in galactic disks: Tracing the dark matter distribution

E. I. Vorobyov, Yu. A. Shchekinov

Multiple SN explosions in disk galaxies efficiently evacuate gas and form cavities with the sizes and shapes of the surrounding envelopes determined by the total amount of injected…

Weakly mass-loaded accretion disks

Yuri A. Shchekinov

Accretion disks with an additional mass input on the disk surface from environment are considered in the limit of low mass input rate, i.e. when the accretion flow remains kepleria…

The Influence of the Gravitational Acceleration on the Supernova-Driven P arker Instability

A. Steinacker, Yu. A. Shchekinov

Within a framework of 2D MHD simulations, we explore the dynamical regimes initi ated by a supernova explosion in a magnetized stratified ISM. We concentrate on the formation of la…
