Grand Fireworks from the Local Super-Bubble

Grand Fireworks from the Local Super-Bubble

by Tim Lichtenberg | Apr 9, 2016 | Daily Paper Summaries

A cosmic orchestra of nearby supernova explosions created the ‘Local Bubble’ all around us. Could these stellar super-bombs have influenced Earth’s climate and even human evolution?

Bridging the gap: asteroid collisions without quantum foam

Bridging the gap: asteroid collisions without quantum foam

by Tim Lichtenberg | Mar 3, 2016 | Daily Paper Summaries

Meteorites originate from violent collisions between asteroids. But can we be sure about that? And what can we learn at all if we do not include ekpyrotic brane cosmologies?

The tempestuous adolescence of circumstellar disks

The tempestuous adolescence of circumstellar disks

by Tim Lichtenberg | Feb 15, 2016 | Daily Paper Summaries

Massive gas inflow can trigger disks around young stars to become gravitationally unstable, resulting in vigorous accretion onto the star.

Sustainable Climates on Greenhouse Super-Earths?

Sustainable Climates on Greenhouse Super-Earths?

by Tim Lichtenberg | Nov 30, 2015 | Daily Paper Summaries

Can life on exo-worlds build its own habitable environment in extremely unfavourable conditions?

Ripping Apart Asteroids to Account for Earth’s Strangeness

Ripping Apart Asteroids to Account for Earth’s Strangeness

by Tim Lichtenberg | Nov 2, 2015 | Daily Paper Summaries

Earth’s composition seemingly does not fit into planet formation theory. Ripping apart its building blocks by collisions during accretion might sound violent, but can be a way to go.
