Survival of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon knockout fragments in the interstellar medium

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Ion storage rings allow reactions to be studied over orders of magnitude in time, bridging the gap between typical experimental and astronomical timescales.

A comprehensive set of simulations of high-velocity collisions between main sequence stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We report on a very large set of simulations of collisions between two main sequence (MS) stars. These computations were done with the ``Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics'' method. Realistic stellar structure models for evolved MS stars were used. In order

Improved treatment of dark matter capture in compact stars

open access: yesSciPost Physics Proceedings, 2023
Compact stellar objects are promising cosmic laboratories to test the nature of dark matter (DM). DM captured by the strong gravitational field of these stellar remnants transfers kinetic energy to the star during the collision.

Stellar collisions in globular clusters: the origin of multiple stellar populations

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
ABSTRACT Two generations of stars, G1 and G2, typically populate Galactic globular clusters (GCs). The origin of G2 stars is unclear. We uncover two empirical dependencies between GC characteristics, which can be explained by the formation of G2 main-sequence (MS) stars due to collision/merging of their primordial counterparts (G1).

M32+/-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
WFPC-2 images are used to study the central structure of M31, M32, and M33. The dimmer peak, P2, of the M31 double nucleus is centered on the bulge to 0.1", implying that it is the dynamical center of M31.

Stellar Collisions and Ultracompact X‐Ray Binary Formation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2006
(abridged) We report the results of SPH calculations of parabolic collisions between a subgiant or slightly evolved red-giant star and a neutron star (NS). Such collisions are likely to form ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) observed today in old globular clusters.

Evolution of Stellar Collision Products in Globular Clusters. I. Head‐on Collisions [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1997
We explore the evolution of collisionally merged stars in the blue straggler region of the HR diagram. The starting models for our stellar evolution calculations are the results of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of parabolic collisions between main sequence stars performed by Lombardi, Rasio and Shapiro (1996).

Star Formation in Collision Debris: Insights from the modeling of their Spectral Energy Distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
During galaxy-galaxy interactions, massive gas clouds can be injected into the intergalactic medium which in turn become gravitationally bound, collapse and form stars, star clusters or even dwarf galaxies.

The rate of WD-WD head-on collisions in isolated triples is too low to explain standard type Ia supernovae

open access: yes, 2017
Type Ia supernovae (Ia-SNe) are thought to arise from the thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs (WDs). The progenitors of such explosions are still highly debated; in particular the conditions leading to detonations in WDs are not well understood in ...
