M. Steinmetz, in collaboration with K. Thornton (Chicago), M. Gaudlitz (MPA) and T. Janka (MPA), investigated the interaction of supernovae with the interstellar medium (ISM). Special emphasis waslaid on the efficiency with which kinetic and thermal energy can be deposited into the ISM. In a series of one-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations it could be shown that this efficiency depends on the metallicity and density of the ISM. Over a large portion of the parameter space, the scaling with the ISM density and metallicity can be well approximated by power-laws. (Stellar/galactic, Theoretical Astrophysics)
M. Steinmetz, in collaboration with J.J. Charfman, Santa Fe Institute, is investigating the application of Complexity Theory to the design of a mid-infrared echelle spectrograph. (Theoretical Astrophysics, Instrumentation)
One back up copy will be made, however it will not be accessible remotely.
You may submit as many times as you like, but only the LAST TWO submissions will be kept on record.
Thank you for your submission!
