We present preliminary numerical evidence that the physical conditions in high-mass star forming regions can arise from global gravitational infall, with the velocity dispersions being caused primarily by infall motions rather than random…

We propose a new protocol to examine many-polaron properties in a cold atom experiment. Initially, polaronic clouds are prepared around the opposite edges of a majority gas cloud. After time evolution, the collision of two clouds exhibits…

The Electron Cyclotron Drift Instability (ECDI) driven by the electron $E\times B$ drift in partially magnetized plasmas is investigated with highly resolved particle-in-cell simulations. The emphasis is on two-dimensional effects involving…

The Goldreich and Ward (1973) (axisymmetric) gravitational instability of a razor thin particle layer occurs when the Toomre parameter $Q_T \equiv c_p \Omega_0 / \pi G \Sigma_p < 1$ ($c_p$ being the particle dispersion velocity).…
