Journal ArticleDOI
Astrophysical Gyrokinetics: Kinetic and Fluid Turbulent Cascades in Magnetized Weakly Collisional Plasmas
Alexander Schekochihin,Alexander Schekochihin,Steven Cowley,Steven Cowley,William Dorland,Gregory W. Hammett,Gregory G. Howes,Eliot Quataert,Tomoya Tatsuno +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical framework for understanding plasma turbulence in astrophysical plasmas is presented, motivated by observations of electromagnetic and density fluctuations in the solar wind, interstellar medium and galaxy clusters, as well as by models of particle heating in accretion disks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonthermal Electrons in Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flow Models of Sagittarius A
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated radiatively inefficient accretion flow models for Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center, in light of new observational constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stellar Feedback in Galaxies and the Origin of Galaxy-scale Winds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have introduced new numerical methods for implementing stellar feedback on sub-GMC through galactic scales in numerical simulations of galaxies; the key physical processes include radiation pressure in the UV through IR, supernovae (Type-I & II), stellar winds (fast O star through “slow” AGB winds), and HII photoionization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-regulated star formation in galaxies via momentum input from massive stars
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and test a novel numerical implementation of stellar feedback resulting from momentum imparted to the ISM by radiation, supernovae and stellar winds, showing that stellar feedback is crucial to the regulation of star formation in galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical flares from the tidal disruption of stars by massive black holes
Linda E. Strubbe,Eliot Quataert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors predict the light curves and spectra of tidal flares as a function of time, highlighting the unique signatures of the tidal flares at optical and near-infrared wavelengths.
