Subsequent to Paper I, the evolution and fragmentation of a rotating magnetized cloud are studied with use of three-dimensional MHD nested-grid simulations. After the isothermal runaway collapse, an adiabatic gas forms a protostellar first core at the center of the cloud. When the isothermal gas is stable for fragmentation in a contracting disk, the adiabatic core often breaks into several frag...

Achieving data availability and reliability guarantees against disk failure using redundancy coding scheme. X-code is a double tolerant to achieve the optimal update complexity. It reduces the possibility of data unavailability when disk/node fails. X-code based optimal recovery scheme Minimum-disk-read-recovery (MDRR) and Group-based MDRR (GMDRR) minimizes the number of disk reads for a single...

We report the first near-infrared (NIR) imaging of a circumstellar annular disk around the young (∼8 Myr), Vega-like star HR 4796A. NICMOS coronagraph observations at 1.1 and 1.6 mm reveal a ringlike symmetrical structure that peaks in reflected intensity (∼70 AU) from the central A0 V star. The ring geometry, 10.05 5 00.02 with an inclination of and a major axis position angle of , is in good ...

In a recent paper we presented analytic expressions for the axis potential, the disk metric, and the surface mass density of the global solution to Einstein's field equations describing a rigidly rotating disk of dust. Here we add the complete solution in terms of ultraelliptic functions and quadratures.

We discuss three specific modes of accretion disks around rotating magnetized neutron stars which may explain the separations of the kilo Hertz quasi periodic oscillations (QPO) seen in low mass X-ray binaries. The existence of these modes requires that there be a maximum in the angular velocity of the accreting material, and that the fluid is in stable, nearly circular motion near this maximum...

We present a semi-analytic model for the shaping of the Homunculus Nebula around η Carinae that accounts for the simultaneous production of bipolar lobes and an equatorial disk through a rotating surface explosion. Material is launched normal to the surface of an oblate rotating star with an initial kick velocity that scales approximately with the local escape speed. Thereafter, ejecta follow b...

We predict polarimetric line profiles for scattering off rotating disks using a Monte Carlo technique. We have discovered that there is a marked difference between scattering of line emission by a disk that reaches the stellar surface, and a disk with an inner hole. For the case with an inner hole, we find single position-angle rotations, similar to those predicted by analytic models. For the c...

We present a new perspective on the crystallinity of dust in protoplanetary disks. The dominant crystallization by thermal annealing happens in the very early phases of disk formation and evolution. Both the disk properties and the level of crystallinity are thereby directly linked to the properties of the molecular cloud core from which the star+disk system was formed. We show that, under the ...
