Inhibited destruction of dust by supernova in a clumpy medium

Svyatoslav Yu. Dedikov · Evgenii O. Vasiliev

The decrease rate of dust mass due to strong shock waves ($v_s\geq 150$ kms$^{-1}$) from supernovae (SNe) estimated for the Milky Way interstellar mediumsignificantly exceeds the overall production rate by both asymptotic giantbranch stars and core collapse SNe. The interplay between the production anddestruction rates is critically important for evaluation of the net dustoutcome from SNe at different conditions. In light of this, we study thedynamics of initially polydisperse dust grains pre-existing in an ambientmedium swept up the SN shock front depending on magnitude of inhomogeneity(clumpiness) in the medium. We find that dust destruction inside the bubble isinhibited in more inhomogeneous medium: the larger amount of dust survives forthe higher dispersion of density. This trend is set by the interrelationbetween radiative gas cooling and dust sputtering in different environment.After several radiative times the mass fraction of the survived dust saturatesat the level almost independent on the gas mean density. We note that for moreclumpy medium the distributions of dust over thermal phases of a gas inside thebubble and over sizes are smoother and flatter in comparison with those in anearly homogeneous medium.

On the Fradkin-Vasiliev formalism in d=4

Yu. M. Zinoviev

Here we provide a short review on the so-called Fradkin-Vasiliev formalismfor the construction of higher spin cubic interactions. Initially it wasformulated for the massless fields only, but later on it was extended to thearbitrary collections of massive and massless fields.
