Dust waves are a result of gas-grain decoupling in a stream of dusty plasma that flows past a luminous star. The radiation field is sufficiently strong to overcome the collisional coupling between grains and gas at a "rip-point", where the…
We obtained high spectral resolution spectra ($\Delta v$ $\sim$ 2.5 km s$^{-1}$) for DG Tau A from 4800 \r{A} to 7500 \r{A} using Subaru High Dispersion Spectrograph (HDS) for the first time. The low-velocity components (LVCs, |$v$| < 100…
Whole atmosphere seeing \beta_0 is the most important parameter in site testing measurements. Estimation of the seeing from a variance of differential image motion is always biased by a non-zero DIMM exposure, which results in a wind…
Observational data for dusty comets are summarized and systemized. The dependence of the linear polarization on various parameters (the phase angle, wavelength, etc.) is analyzed. An ensemble of aligned spheroidal particles having various…
We propose a variable Eddington factor, depending on the {\it flow velocity} $v$, for the relativistic radiative flow, whose velocity becomes of the order of the speed of light. When the gaseous flow is radiatively accelerated up to the…
Identifying self-similarity is key to understanding and modelling a plethora of phenomena in fluid mechanics. Unfortunately, this is not always possible to perform formally in highly complex flows. We propose a methodology to extract the…
In star-forming clouds, high velocity flow gives rise to large fluctuations of density. In this work we explore the correlation between velocity magnitude (speed) and density. We develop an analytic formula for the joint probability…
The influence of dust devils on the martian atmosphere depends on their capacity to loft dust, which depends on their wind profiles and footprint on the martian surface, i.e., on their radii, $R$. Previous work suggests the wind profile…
A model one-dimensional self consistent steady state collisionless self-gravitating system in which all the particles have the same energy is presented. This has the remarkable property that the position and velocity of the particles…
Mass loss forms an important aspect of the evolution of massive stars, as well as for the enrichment of the surrounding ISM. Our goal is to predict accurate mass-loss rates and terminal wind velocities. These quantities can be compared to…
Aims: We develop a method for estimating the properties of stellar winds for low-mass main-sequence stars between masses of 0.4 and 1.1 solar masses at a range of distances from the star. Methods: We use 1D thermal pressure driven…
We model the polarized thermal dust emission from protostellar cores that are assembled by super-sonic turbulent flows in molecular clouds. Self-gravitating cores are selected from a three dimensional simulation of super-sonic and…
Spurred by recent observations of 24 micron emission within wind-blown bubbles, we study the role that dust can play in such environments, and build an approximate model of a particular wind-blown bubble, `N49.' First, we model the…
We investigate the role of the four viscosity parameters, in fluids where the particles possess a microstructure (micropolar flows) and are allowed to rotate in a two-dimensional setting. We first establish the existence of global finite…
In this paper, the structural property of complex plasma and self-diffusion coefficient of dust particles in presence of such wake potential have been investigated using Langevin dynamics simulation in the subsonic regime of ion flow. The…
Relativistically covariant form of equation of motion for arbitrarily shaped dust particle (neutral in charge) under the action of electromagnetic radiation is derived -- emission, scattering and absorption of radiation is considered. The…
Turbulent relative dispersion is studied theoretically with a focus on the evolution of probability distribution of the relative separation of two passive particles. A finite separation speed and a finite correlation of relative velocity,…
The variational principle for a thin dust shell in General Relativity is constructed. The principle is compatible with the boundary-value problem of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations, and leads to ``natural boundary conditions'' on…
Stochastic wind sea is an intermediate small-scale physical process responsible for the state of the atmospheric boundary layer and the water upper layer, having dynamics of all scales. To describe behavior of this system, one could use the…
We present three-component wind models for carbon rich pulsating AGB stars. In particular we study the effects of drift in models of long-period variables, meaning that the dust is allowed to move relative to the gas (drift models). In…
