Non-Equilibrium Phonon Transport Across Nanoscale Interfaces

Georgios Varnavides, Adam S. Jermyn, Polina Anikeeva +1

Despite the ubiquity of applications of heat transport across nanoscale interfaces, including integrated circuits, thermoelectrics, and nanotheranostics, an accurate description of…

Post-AGB discs from common-envelope evolution

Robert G. Izzard, Adam S. Jermyn

Post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars with discs are all binaries. Many of these binaries have orbital periods between 100 and 1000 days so cannot have avoided mass transfe…

The Cosmic Microwave Background and the Stellar Initial Mass Function

Adam S. Jermyn, Charles L. Steinhardt, Christopher A. Tout

We argue that an increased temperature in star-forming clouds alters the stellar initial mass function to be more bottom-light than in the Milky Way. At redshifts , he…

Enhanced Rotational Mixing in the Radiative Zones of Massive Stars

Adam S. Jermyn, Christopher A. Tout, Shashikumar M. Chitre

Convection in the cores of massive stars becomes anisotropic when they rotate. This anisotropy leads to a misalignment of the thermal gradient and the thermal flux, which in turn r…

Stellar Photospheric Abundances as a Probe of Disks and Planets

Adam S. Jermyn, Mihkel Kama

Protoplanetary disks, debris disks, and disrupted or evaporating planets can all feed accretion onto stars. The photospheric abundances of such stars may then reveal the compositio…

Turbulence Closure for Mixing Length Theories

Adam S. Jermyn, Pierre Lesaffre, Christopher A. Tout +1

We present an approach to turbulence closure based on mixing length theory with three-dimensional fluctuations against a two-dimensional background. This model is intended to be ra…
