O(N^2) fragmentation algorithm
Roman R. Rafikov, Kedron Silsbee, Richard A. Booth
Collisional fragmentation is a ubiquitous phenomenon arising in a variety of astrophysical systems, from asteroid belts to debris and protoplanetary disks. Numerical studies of fra…
Gas and dust temperature in pre-stellar cores revisited: New limits on cosmic-ray ionization rate
Alexei V. Ivlev, Kedron Silsbee, Olli Sipilä +1
We develop a self-consistent model for the equilibrium gas temperature and size-dependent dust temperature in cold, dense pre-stellar cores, assuming an arbitrary power-law size di…
Chondrule Formation by the Jovian Sweeping Secular Resonance
Munan Gong, Xiaochen Zheng, Douglas N. C. Lin +3
Chondrules are silicate spheroids found in meteorites, serving as important fossil records of the early solar system. In order to form chondrules, chondrule precursors must be heat…
Diffusive Versus Free-Streaming Cosmic Ray Transport in Molecular Clouds
Kedron Silsbee, Alexei V. Ivlev
Understanding the cosmic ray (CR) ionization rate is crucial in order to simulate the dynamics of, and interpret the chemical species observed in molecular clouds. Calculating the…
