Modeling Non-Axisymmetric Bow Shocks: Solution Method and Exact Analytic Solutions
A new solution method is presented for steady-state, momentum-conserving, non-axisymmetric bow shocks and colliding winds in the thin-shell limit. This is a generalization of previous formulations to include a density gradient in the pre-shock ambient medium, as well as anisotropy in the pre-shock wind. For cases where the wind is unaccelerated, the formalism yields exact, analytic solutions. S...
متن کاملThree-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of asymmetric pulsar wind bow shocks
We present three-dimensional, nonrelativistic, hydrodynamic simulations of bow shocks in pulsar wind nebulae. The simulations are performed for a range of initial and boundary conditions to quantify the degree of asymmetry produced by latitudinal variations in the momentum flux of the pulsar wind, radiative cooling in the postshock flow, and density gradients in the interstellar medium (ISM). W...
متن کاملAnalytic formulae for hadronic production in a single stellar wind
We present an approximate, analytical formulae for the computation of hadronically-produced gamma-ray luminosity in the innermost regions of stellar winds. We put this into the context of other recent research on regions of star formation as gamma-ray sources.
متن کاملModelling Non-axisymmetric Bow Shocks
I present an extension of the thin layer approximation to non-axisymmetric bow shocks. By choosing a suitable set of curvilinear coordinates that matches the geometry of a generally distorted bow shock surface, I derive the fluid equations for the flow. Analytical expansions are given for the matter flow near the bow shock stagnation point. Numerical solutions are also obtained, by using a revi...
متن کاملExact Analytic Solutions for Optimal Control Problems Under Multiplicative Noise
Control-dependent (multiplicative) noise makes it difficult to achieve optimal control because large control signals amplify noise. This paper considers a minimal (one-dimensional) system that includes multiplicative noise and solves the optimal control problem for arbitrary cost functions. In a limit when the control-cost approaches zero, this formulation becomes analytically solvable. The ana...
