description: Antimony (Sb)-oxidizing bacteria play an important role in environmental Sb bioremediation because of their ability to convert the more toxic Sb(III) to the less toxic Sb(V). So far, the information about the Sb(III)-oxidizing bacteria species is still limited. In this study, three highly Sb(III)-resistant bacterial strains were isolated from contaminated mine soils after aerobic enrichment culturing with Sb(III) (1 mM). The morphological, biochemical, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis suggested that the three novel bacterial isolates fell within Cupriavidus, Moraxella, and Bacillus, respectively. Among the strains, Moraxella sp. S2 isolated from soils with the highest Sb content exhibited the highest minimum inhibitory concentration for Sb(III) but the lowest Sb(III) oxidation efficiency, which could not completely oxidize 50 μM Sb(III) in 15 days. Cupriavidus sp. S1 was able to oxidize 50 μM Sb(III) completely in 12 days, but could not oxidize 100 μM Sb(III) even with extended time of incubation, while Bacillus sp. S3 with the lowest resistance to Sb(III) could aerobically oxidize 100 µM Sb(III) within 2 days, showing high Sb(III) oxidation efficiency. Our research demonstrated that indigenous microorganisms associated with Sb mine soils were capable of Sb oxidation, and the novel bacteria isolated could represent good candidates for Sb remediation in heavily polluted sites.

description: Questo lavoro di diploma, occasione di confronto e scambio tra due diverse modalità di insegnamento, si basa sulla mia esperienza di stage all’estero, durata un mese, in una colonia estiva di un villaggio togolese, Ayomé, e reso possibile dalla collaborazione di due ONG che operano nel paese: Aado-Togo e Aiuto Ayomé Africa. Durante questo periodo ho avuto l’opportunità di proporre ad una classe alcune attività basate sulla raccolta concezioni, collaborando con il loro docente. Infatti la mia ricerca è nata dalla curiosità di scoprire se e come il maestro considerasse le concezioni degli alunni, cioè le rappresentazioni che si costruiscono su un tema a partire dai modelli esplicativi che posseggono, per strutturare le lezioni. Le situazioni vissute, raccontate in un diario personale, sono state analizzate a partire da quattro aspetti: l’importanza della situazione-problema, le condizioni per una raccolta concezioni funzionale, la considerazione dell’errore e i fattori utili a valutare l’apprendimento di un alunno. Dall’analisi è risultato che il docente non era a conoscenza dell’esistenza delle concezioni, ma utilizzava le situazioni-problema come motivazione alla lezione. Inoltre è emerso che vi è la possibilità di lavorare con le concezioni in questo contesto, anche se per avviare questo metodo vi è bisogno di tempo, conoscenza reciproca, considerazione dei canali di comunicazione locali e una rivalutazione dell’errore da parte dei docenti che richiede un cambio di mentalità.

description: We introduce a two-band model of three-dimensional nodal line semimetals, the Fermi surface of which at half-filling may form various one-dimensional configurations of different topology. We study the symmetries and "drumhead" surface states of the model, and find that the transitions between different configurations, namely, the Lifshitz transitions, can be identified solely by the number of gap-closing points on some high-symmetry planes in the Brillouin zone. A global phase diagram of this model is also obtained accordingly. We then investigate the effect of some extra terms analogous to a two-dimensional Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling. The introduced extra terms open a gap for the nodal line semimetals and can be useful in engineering different topological insulating phases. We demonstrate that the behavior of surface Dirac cones in the resulting insulating system has a clear correspondence with the different configurations of the original nodal lines in the absence of the gap terms.

description: In April of 1998 a Master Plan Committee was established to start work toward the first Master Plan for Deerfield, Massachusetts. A major catalyst for this decision was chronic septic failure throughout much of Deerfield. This failure raised the question of whether or not Deerfield should expand its public sewer. Expanding the system would solve the immediate problem of septic failure, but could potentially encourage unwanted development and create a new cycle of problems.

description: [1] A computationally efficient scheme to allow tracking of aerosol species age as a function of space and time within a three-dimensional chemical transport model (CTM) has been developed. The aerosol age distribution is calculated by utilizing the Particulate Matter Source Apportionment Technology (PSAT) algorithm which allows the calculation of different source contributions to both primary and secondary particulate matter concentrations in the modeling domain. As an example, the aerosol age in the eastern United States, including both primary and secondary species, is examined using the regional CTM PMCAMx. The average calculated ages are on the order of a few days for particulate matter near the ground but are highly variable in space and time. Primary aerosol species had average ages of approximately 24 h over this polluted continental region while the average ages for secondary species were 48–72 h near the surface. As expected, the average age of all aerosol components increases vertically in the atmosphere. Age increases rapidly away from the sources of aerosol and its precursors, and for nonvolatile species it increases with particle size.

description: Computing heavy quark-antiquark potentials within the AdS/CFT correspondence often leads to behaviors that differ from what one expects on general physical grounds and field-theory considerations. To isolate the configurations of physical interest, it is of utmost importance to examine the stability of the string solutions dual to the flux tubes between the quark and antiquark. Here, we formulate and prove several general statements concerning the perturbative stability of such string solutions, relevant for static quark-antiquark pairs in a general class of backgrounds, and we apply the results to N=4 SYM at finite temperature and at generic points of the Coulomb branch. In all cases, the problematic regions are found to be unstable and hence physically irrelevant.

description: The layered WHM - type (W=Zr/Hf/La, H=Si/Ge/Sn/Sb, M=S/Se/Te) materials represent a large family of topological semimetals, which provides an excellent platform to study the evolution of topological semimetal state with the fine tuning of spin-orbit coupling and structural dimensionality for various combinations of W, H and M elements. In this work, through high field de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) quantum oscillation studies, we have found evidence for the predicted topological non-trivial bands in ZrSnTe. Furthermore, from the angular dependence of quantum oscillation frequency, we have revealed the three-dimensional Fermi surface topologies of this layered material owing to strong interlayer coupling.

description: Numerous debris-flow inundation models have been applied retroactively to noteworthy events around the world. While such studies can be useful in identifying controlling factors, calibrating model parameters, and assessing future hazards in specific study areas, model parameters tailored to individual events can be difficult to apply regionally. The advancement of debris-flow modeling applications from post-event model validation of individual case studies to pre-event forecasting that can be implemented rapidly and at regional scales is critical considering the fatalities and extensive infrastructure damage caused by debris flows that inundated a developed fan in Montecito, California, following heavy rain on 9 January 2018. In this study, we evaluated the tradeoffs between model accuracy and simplicity in the context of the need for a framework that can be used in conjunction with initiation models and storm predictions for rapid, large-scale inundation hazard mapping as a component of post-fire debris-flow hazard assessments. We used numerical (FLO-2D) and empirical (LAHARZ) models to simulate debris flows from one of the drainages upstream of Montecito that was burned in the Thomas fire in December 2017 and compared model results with field observations and building damage assessments collected immediately following the event. Initial testing demonstrated that LAHARZ can simulate channelized flow but is not able to replicate flow bifurcations or avulsions, which are critical aspects of flows travelling over populated fans. FLO-2D simulations matched well with observed inundation area data, but variably under- and overpredicted inundation height, deposit depth, and velocity. We found that FLO-2D and LAHARZ had true positive rates of 0.84 and 0.6, respectively, and both models had similar false positive rates (0.3 and 0.35, respectively). Our model evaluation framework allowed us to compare model results with detailed field observations and will serve as a platform for more extensive model testing in the future.

description: The majority of nuclear reactions in astrophysics involve unstable nuclei which are not fully accessible by experiments yet. Therefore, there is high demand for reliable predictions of cross sections and reaction rates by theoretical means. The majority of reactions can be treated in the framework of the statistical model (Hauser-Feshbach). The global parametrizations of the nuclear properties needed for predictions far off stability probe our understanding of the strong force and take it to its limit. The sensitivity of astrophysical scenarios to nuclear inputs is illustrated in the framework of a detailed nucleosynthesis study in type II supernovae. Abundances resulting from calculations in the same explosion model with two different sets of reaction rates are compared. Key reactions and required nuclear information are identified.

description: Desorption or evaporation is one of the mechanisms for loss of perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPE) lubricants from the surfaces of data storage media. One approach to minimizing PFPE loss to desorption is the use of lubricants with increasing molecular weight or increasing average chain length. In order to understand the effects of chain length on the lubricant evaporation kinetics we have studied the desorption kinetics of monolayer films of oligomeric ethers with varying chain length adsorbed on the surface of graphite. The desorption preexponents, ν, and desorption barriers, ΔE‡des, have been measured for poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ethers, CH3O(CH2CH2O)mCH3, with m = 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 10. These are models for the PFPE known as Fomblin Z, which has a structure CF3O(CF2CF2O)x(CF2O)yCF3. The results show that the desorption pre-exponents are independent of chain length and have an average value of ν = 1018.7±0.3 s−1. The ΔE‡des for the poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ethers vary non-linearly with chain length and can be fit with a power law expression of the form ΔE‡des = a + b · Nγ , where N is the total number of atoms in the oligomer backbone (N = 3m + 3) and the scaling exponent has a value of γ ≈ 1/2. This non-linear dependence of ΔE‡des on chain length has also been observed in recent studies of the desorption kinetics of straight chain alkanes from graphite. A desorption mechanism is described that explains the non-linearity of ΔE‡des for the poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ethers. The implication for the lifetime of lubricants on data storage media is that the long chain PFPE lubricants desorb more rapidly than one might expect based on simple linear scaling of the ΔE‡des of lower molecular weight PFPEs.

description: [abridged] The enhanced degrees of deuterium fractionation observed in envelopes around protostars demonstrate the importance of chemistry at low temperatures, relevant in pre- and protostellar cores. formaldehyde is an important species in the formation of methanol and more complex molecules. Here, we present the first study of formaldehyde deuteration on small scales around the prototypical low-mass protostar IRAS 16293-2422 using high spatial and spectral resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations. Numerous isotopologues of formaldehyde are detected, among them H$_2$C$^{17}$O, and D$_2^{13}$CO for the first time in the ISM. The large range of upper energy levels covered by the HDCO lines help constrain the excitation temperature to 106$\pm$13 K. Using the derived column densities, formaldehyde shows a deuterium fractionation of HDCO/H$_2$CO=6.5$\pm$1%, D$_2$CO/HDCO=12.8$^{+3.3}_{-4.1}$%, and D$_2$CO/H$_2$CO=0.6(4)$\pm$0.1%. The isotopic ratios derived are $^{16}$O/$^{18}$O=805, $^{18}$O/$^{17}$O=3.2 and $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C=56. The HDCO/H$_2$CO ratio is lower than found in previous studies, highlighting the uncertainties involved in interpreting single dish observations of the inner warm regions. The D$_2$CO/HDCO ratio is only slightly larger than the HDCO/H$_2$CO ratio. This is consistent with formaldehyde forming in the ice as soon as CO has frozen onto the grains, with most of the deuteration happening towards the end of the prestellar core phase. A comparison with available time-dependent chemical models indicates that the source is in the early Class 0 stage.

description: The world Heavy Ion Fusion (HIF) Program for inertial fusion energy is looking toward the development and commissioning of several new experiments. Recent and planned upgrades of the facilities at GSI, in Russia, and in Japan greatly enhance the ability to study energy deposition in hot dense matter. Worldwide target design developments have focused on non-ignition targets for nearterm experiments and designs which, while lowering the energy required for ignition, tighten accelerator requirements. The U.S program is transitioning between scaled beam dynamics experiments and high current experiments with power-plant-driver-scale beams. Current effort is aimed at preparation for the next-step large facility, the Integrated Research Experiment (IRE)-- an induction linac accelerating multiple beams to a few hundred MeV, then focusing to deliver tens of kilojoules to a target. The goal is to study heavy ion energy deposition, and to test all of the components and physics needed for an engineering test of a power plant driver and target chamber. This paper will include an overview of the Heavy Ion Fusion program abroad and a more in-depth view of the progress and plans of the U.S. program.

description: We discuss the renormalization of the polarizability of a nanoparticle in the presence of either (i) a continuous graphene sheet or (ii) a plasmonic graphene grating, taking into account retardation effects. Our analysis demonstrates that the excitation of surface plasmon-polaritons in graphene produces a large enhancement of the real and imaginary parts of the renormalized polarizability. We show that the imaginary part can be changed by a factor of up to 100 relatively to its value in the absence of graphene. We also show that the resonance in the case of the grating is narrower than in the continuous sheet. In the case of the grating it is shown that the resonance can be tuned by changing the grating geometric parameters.

description: We study a recently proposed model, where a codimension one brane is wrapped around the axis of symmetry of an internal two dimensional space compactified by a flux. This construction is free from the problems which plague delta-like, codimension two branes, where only tension can be present. In contrast, arbitrary fields can be localized on this extended brane, and their gravitational interaction is standard 4d gravity at large distance. In the first part of this note, we study the de Sitter (dS) vacua of the model. The landscape of these vacua is characterized by discrete points labeled by two integer numbers, related to the flux responsible for the compactification and to the current of a brane field. A Minkowski external space emerges only for a special ratio between these two integers, and it is therefore (topologically) isolated from the nearby dS solutions. In the second part, we show that the Minkowski vacua are stable under the most generic axially-symmetric perturbations (we argue that this is sufficient to ensure the overall stability).

description: Big-bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy measurements give independent, accurate measurements of the baryon density and can test the framework of the standard cosmology. Early CMB data are consistent with the longstanding conclusion from BBN that baryons constitute a small fraction of matter in the Universe, but may indicate a slightly higher value for the baryon density. We clarify precisely what the two methods determine, and point out that differing values for the baryon density can indicate either an inconsistency or physics beyond the standard models of cosmology and particle physics. We discuss other signatures of the new physics in CMB anisotropy.

title: Surface forces across colloidal dispersions
Creators: name: Ludwig, Michael
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2021

description: Colloid based products are ubiquitous in our daily life and precise knowledge of the interactions in these systems is of great interest in basic as well as in applied sciences. This thesis studies forces between macroscopic surfaces interacting across concentrated colloidal dispersions, focussing on the mutual effect between the dispersions' nanostructure and surface forces. Besides the well-known DLVO-type surface forces, specific structuring of colloidal particles may induce the so-called oscillatory structural forces. In particular, this study utilises two model colloidal dispersions: suspensions of silica nanoparticles and dispersions of self-assembled surfactant micelles. Throughout this work, surface forces across these colloidal dispersions are measured using colloidal-probe atomic force microscopy. In dispersions of charged colloidal particles, electrostatic interactions cause a pronounced interparticle structuring. For spherical particles, the mean interparticle distance scales with the particles' volume fraction according to an inverse cubic root scaling law. Oscillatory structural forces across these dispersions typically show a wavelength which is directly related to the respective mean interparticle distance. Consequently, the measurement of oscillatory structural forces can be utilised as a tool for characterisation of colloidal particles, knowing the particles' volume fraction. This is demonstrated by measuring surface forces across concentrated silica nanoparticle suspensions to determine the respective nanoparticles' diameters. The validity of this inverse cubic root scaling law is checked upon variation of the particles' surface charges. Mixing nonionic and anionic surfactants form particles with tunable surface charge as demonstrated by small-angle neutron scattering. It is shown that the inverse cubic root scaling law is only valid for highly charged colloidal particles. If the particles carry little or no charges, their interparticle structuring decreases. By this means, the oscillatory structural forces across dispersions are precisely tuned not only by the particles' volume fraction but also by the amount of surface charges per particle. Complete description of the surface forces requires further contributions, other than the oscillatory structural forces. Here, forces between charged surfaces across concentrated silica nanoparticle suspensions are modelled as a superposition of two individual contributions - the electrostatic double layer and the oscillatory structural force. The electrostatic screening length of colloidal dispersions, an important parameter for the description of the electrostatic double layer force, is independently determined by conductivity measurements. In that way, both force contributions are untangled. This enables a uniform description of the surface forces from a few hundred nanometres down to the surfaces being almost in contact.

description: We explore the occurrence and detectability of planet-planet occultations (PPOs) in exoplanet systems. These are events during which a planet occults the disk of another planet in the same system, imparting a small photometric signal as its thermal or reflected light is blocked. We focus on the planets in TRAPPIST-1, whose orbital planes we show are aligned to within 0.3 degrees at 90% confidence. We present a photodynamical model for predicting and computing PPOs in TRAPPIST-1 and other systems for various assumptions of the planets' atmospheric states. When marginalizing over the uncertainties on all orbital parameters, we find that the rate of PPOs in TRAPPIST-1 is about 1.4 per day. We investigate the prospects for detection of these events with the James Webb Space Telescope, finding that ~10-20 occultations per year of b and c should be above the noise level at 12-15 microns. Joint modeling of several of these PPOs could lead to a robust detection. Alternatively, observations with the proposed Origins Space Telescope should be able to detect individual PPOs at high signal-to-noise. We show how PPOs can be used to break transit timing variation degeneracies, imposing strong constraints on the eccentricities and masses of the planets, as well as to constrain the longitudes of nodes and thus the complete three-dimensional structure of the system. We further show how modeling of these events can be used to reveal a planet's day/night temperature contrast and construct crude surface maps. We make our photodynamical code available on github.

Impact cratering on porous targets in the strength regime

description: Cratering on small bodies is crucial for the collision cascade and also contributes to the ejection of dust particles into interplanetary space. A crater cavity forms against the mechanical strength of the surface, gravitational acceleration, or both. The formation of moderately sized craters that are sufficiently larger than the thickness of the regolith on small bodies, in which mechanical strength plays the dominant role rather than gravitational acceleration, is in the strength regime. The formation of microcraters on blocks on the surface is also within the strength regime. On the other hand, the formation of a crater of a size comparable to the thickness of the regolith is affected by both gravitational acceleration and cohesion between regolith particles. In this short review, we compile data from the literature pertaining to impact cratering experiments on porous targets, and summarize the ratio of spall diameter to pit diameter, the depth, diameter, and volume of the crater cavity, and the ratio of depth to diameter. Among targets with various porosities studied in the laboratory to date, based on conventional scaling laws (Holsapple and Schmidt, J. Geophys. Res., 87, 1849-1870, 1982) the cratering efficiency obtained for porous sedimentary rocks (Suzuki et al., J. Geophys. Res. 117, E08012, 2012) is intermediate. A comparison with microcraters formed on a glass target with impact velocities up to 14 $km s^{-1}$ indicates a different dependence of cratering efficiency and depth-to-diameter ratio on impact velocity.

Summary: Today's development trends are increasingly pointing towards wearable smart devices. Among these are the verypopular smart-glasses, which can be used to create various interactive experiences based on augmented or virtualreality systems. To enhance the user experience, these devices offer a variety of advanced sensors that providedifferent types and qualities of information about the user's environment. The optimal data extraction, however,requires the development of specific methods due to the unique sensor design. The main objective of this thesis isto develop an algorithmic toolkit that uses the sensor measurements of the Microsoft HoloLens 2 as an intelligentdata collection device to efficiently map, interpret and complete the user's three-dimensional environment.

description: The temporal and spatial characteristics of soil moisture over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) were analysed to explore the relative contributions of temperature and precipitation to soil moisture change. Non-significant changes in soil moisture were observed for the TP over the period 1950–2010, while a seasonal cycle was evident, with higher values in summer and smaller values in winter. The soil moisture showed obvious spatial heterogeneity, with higher values in the south than in the north of the TP. The soil moisture fluctuated with time, jointly influenced by precipitation and temperature changes, with precipitation the dominant factor, while temperature regulated the relationship between soil moisture and precipitation. The relative contribution of precipitation to soil moisture changes was over 80%, except for winter in which temperature was the dominant factor, with a relative contribution of more than 70%. Because of the sharp increase in temperature in winter, the uneven spatial distribution of soil moisture over the TP might harm the fragile ecological environment.

description: Among Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods,Sampling Importance Resampling (SIR) algorithms are based on Importance Sampling (IS) and on some resampling-based)rejuvenation algorithm which aims at fighting against weight degeneracy. However %whichever the resampling technique used this mechanism tends to be insufficient when applied to informative or high-dimensional models. In this paper we revisit the rejuvenation mechanism and propose a class of parameterized SIR-based solutions which enable to adjust the tradeoff between computational cost and statistical performances.

description: The desorption energies, ΔEdes‡, of linear and cyclic alkanes on the Cu(1 1 1) and Pt(1 1 1) surfaces have been measured and compared to the values of the ΔEdes‡ measured on a number of other surfaces. For sets of short linear and cyclic alkanes (n-CNH2N+2 and c-CNH2N, N=3–12) desorbing from single crystalline surfaces the ΔEdes‡ scale linearly in chain length with the form ΔEdes‡(N)=ΔE+ΔECH·N. The quantity ΔECH can be equated with a segmental contribution to the ΔEdes‡, however, the physical origin of the non-zero intercept, ΔE, is not clear. Comparison of the intercepts, for the linear and cyclic alkanes show that they are similar to one another on the Cu(1 1 1) surface and on the Pt(1 1 1) surface. This comparison rules out the possibility that ΔE arises from endgroup effects. Scaling of the ΔEdes‡ against the polarizabilities, α, of the alkanes also reveals that ΔE cannot arise from the scaling of the polarizability with chain length. We discuss other possible origins of ΔE including lattice commensurability effects, temperature, and desorption order.

Accidental Peccei-Quinn Symmetry from Discrete Flavour Symmetry and Pati-Salam

description: We show how an accidental $U(1)$ Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry can arise from a discrete $A_4$ family symmetry combined with a discrete flavour symmetry $ \mathbb{Z}_3 \times \mathbb{Z}_5^2 $, in a realistic Pati-Salam unified theory of flavour. Imposing only these discrete flavour symmetries, the axion solution to the strong $ CP $ problem is protected from PQ-breaking operators to the required degree. A QCD axion arises from a linear combination of $ A_4 $ triplet flavons, which are also responsible for fermion flavour structures due to their vacuum alignments. We find that the requirement of an accidental PQ symmetry arising from a discrete flavour symmetry constrains the form of the Yukawa matrices, providing a link between flavour and the strong $ CP $ problem. Our model predicts specific flavour-violating couplings of the flavourful axion and thus puts a strong limit on the axion scale from kaon decays.

Statistical properties of pinning fields in the 3d-Gaussian RFIM

description: We have defined pinning fields as those random fields that keep some of the magnetic moments unreversed in the region of negative external applied field during the demagnetizing process. An analysis of the statistical properties of such pinning fields is presented within the context of the Gaussian Random Field Ising Model (RFIM). We show that the average of the pinning fields exhibits a drastic increase close to the coercive field and that such an increase is discontinuous for low degrees of disorder. This behaviour can be described with standard finite size scaling (FSS) assumptions. Furthermore, we also show that the pinning fields corresponding to states close to coercivity exhibit strong statistical correlations.

description: . The design of resilient supply chains under the risk of disruptions at candidate locations for distribution centers (DCs) is formulated as a two-stage stochastic program. The problem involves selecting DC locations, determining storage capacities for multiple commodities, and establishing the distribution strategy in scenarios that describe disruptions at potential DCs. The objective is to minimize the sum of investment cost and expected distribution cost during a finite time-horizon. The rapid growth in the number of scenarios requires the development of an effective method to solve large-scale problems. The method includes a strengthened multi-cut Benders decomposition algorithm and the derivation of deterministic bounds based on the optimal solution over reduced sets of scenarios. Resilient designs for a large-scale example and an industrial supply chain are found with the proposed method. The results demonstrate the importance of including DC capacity in the design problem and anticipating the distribution strategy in adverse scenarios.
Dipole Mode Detuning in the NLC Injector Linacs

description: The injector linacs of the JLC/NLC comprise the e+ booster, the e- drive linac, the e+ booster, and the two prelinacs. These four systems together transport the two types of beams from the 80 MeV point at the end of their respective bunchers up to the storage rings, and then from the storage rings to the 10 GeV point at the beginning of the bunch compressors. Nominally, the e+ booster structure will be L-band and the others S-band. In transport through these linacs it is important that the emittances and particle losses stay within specified tolerances. In particular, the effects of the dipole wakefield-especially the long-range dipole wakefield-need to be carefully considered. We present designs of the injector linac structures that employ simple mode detuning, without damping, and that allow us to satisfy our tolerance requirements, for both the nominal (2.8 ns) and alternate (1.4 ns) bunch spacing options.

Formation of an Infalling Disklike Envelope around a Protostar

description: We examined the gravitational contraction of isothermal molecular cloud cores with slow rotation by means of two-dimensional numerical simulations. Applying a sink-cell method, we followed the evolution of the cloud cores up to the stages at which most of the matter accretes onto the central region (i.e., a protostar and a rotationally-supported circumstellar disk). We show that both an infalling disklike envelope and a rotationally-supported disk around the central star are natural outcome of the gravitational contraction of a {\it prolate} cloud core with slow rotation. The early evolution of the infalling envelopes resembles sheet models recently proposed by Hartmann and coworkers. In the infalling disklike envelope, the radial profiles of the density, radial velocity, and azimuthal velocity can be approximated by $ρ\propto r^{-1.5}$, $v_r\propto r^{-0.5}$, and $v_ϕ\propto r^{-1}$, respectively. The fate of the infalling envelopes is also discussed.
