We study dust accumulation by photophoresis in optically thin gas disks. Using formulae of the photophoretic force that are applicable for the free molecular regime and for the slip-flow regime, we calculate dust accumulation distances as a…
We have simulated the formation of large-scale structure arising from COBE-normalized spectra computed by convolving a primordial double-inflation perturbation spectrum with the CDM transfer function. Due to the broken scale invariance…
We study the total gravitating mass distribution in the central region of 23 clusters of galaxies with Chandra. Using a new deprojection technique, we measure the temperature and gas density in the very central region of the clusters as a…
The fractal structure of directed percolation clusters, grown at the percolation threshold inside parabolic-like systems, is studied in two dimensions via Monte Carlo simulations. With a free surface at y=\pm Cx^k and a dynamical exponent…
We study the structure and growth of a difusion-limited aggregate (DLA) for which the constitutive units remain mobile during the aggregation process. Contrary to DLA where far from equilibrium conditions are the prevalent factor for…
The experiments presented aim to measure the outcome of collisions between sub-mm sized protoplanetary dust aggregate analogues. We also observed the clusters formed from these aggregates and their collision behaviour. The experiments were…
We study star formation in the Center Ridge 1 (CR1) clump in the Vela C giant molecular cloud, selected as a high column density region that shows the lowest level of dust continuum polarization angle dispersion, likely indicating that the…
In this study, we employ density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the structural and electronic properties B$_8$Cu$_3^-$ clusters -- boron-based frameworks doped with three copper atoms. The results indicate that the lowest-energy…
We study the mean-square displacement (MSD) of a tracer particle diffusing in a granular gas of inelastic hard spheres under homogeneous cooling state (HCS). Tracer and granular gas particles are in general mechanically different. Our…
We perform linear analysis of thermal instability in a contracting large cloud filled with warm HI gas and investigate the effect of metallicity and radiation flux. When the cloud reaches critical density n_f, the cloud fragments into cool,…
There are two modes by which clusters of aggregating particles can coalesce: The clusters can merge either (i) by the Ostwald ripening process in which particles diffuse from one cluster to the other whilst the cluster centres remain…
A stochastic model relating the parameters of astrophysical structures to the parameters of their granular components is applied to the formation of hierarchical, large-scale structures from galaxies assumed as point-like objects. If the…
This paper introduces a new disk code, called ProDiMo, to calculate the thermo-chemical structure of protoplanetary disks and to interpret gas emission lines from UV to sub-mm. We combine frequency-dependent 2D dust continuum radiative…
Colloidal gels formed by strongly attractive particles at low particle volume fractions are composed of space-spanning networks of uniformly sized clusters. We study the thermal fluctuations of the clusters using differential dynamic…
Simple self-consistent models of galaxy groups and clusters are tested against the results of high-resolution adiabatic gasdynamical simulations. We investigate two models based on the existence of a 'universal' dark matter density profile…
We recently introduced the dynamical cluster approximation(DCA), a new technique that includes short-ranged dynamical correlations in addition to the local dynamics of the dynamical mean field approximation while preserving causality. The…
In an effort to build a stronger microscopic foundation for radiation damage models in gallium arsenide (GaAs), the electronic properties of radiation-induced damage clusters are studied with atomistic simulations. Molecular dynamics…
The partial spatial separation of cold dark matter (DM) and gas is a ubiquitous feature in the formation of cosmic large-scale structure. This separation, termed dissociation, is prominent in galaxy clusters that formed through collisions…
Predicting urban growth is important for practical reasons, and also for the challenge it presents to theoretical frameworks for cluster dynamics. Recently, the model of diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) has been applied to describe urban…
We have combined the original diffusion-limited aggregation model introduced by Witten and Sander with the surface thermodynamics of the growing solid aggregate. The theory is based on the consideration of the surface chemical potential as…
