The Burst Mode of Accretion in Primordial Star Formation
We present simulation results for the formation and long-term evolution of a
primordial protostellar disk harbored by a first star. Using a 2+1D
nonaxisymmetric thin disk numerical simulation, together with a barotropic
relation for the gas, we are able to probe ~20 kyr of the disk's evolution.
During this time period we observe fragmentation leading to loosely bound
gaseous clumps within the disk. These are then torqued inward and accreted onto
the growing protostar, giving rise to a burst phenomenon. The luminous feedback
produced by this mechanism may have important consequences for the subsequent
growth of the protostar.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, to appear in proceedings of First Stars IV

Precoder design for space-time coded systems over correlated Rayleigh fading channels using convex optimization
A class of computationally efficient linear precoders for space-time block coded multiple-input multiple-output wireless systems is derived based on the minimization of the exact symbol error rate (SER) and its upper bound. Both correlations at the transmitter and receiver are assumed to be present, and only statistical channel state information in the form of the transmit and receive correlation matrices is assumed to be available at the transmitter. The convexity of the design based on SER minimization is established and exploited. The advantage of the developed technique is its low complexity. We also find various relationships of the proposed designs to the existing precoding techniques, and derive very simple closed-form precoders for special cases such as two or three receive antennas and constant receive correlation. The numerical simulations illustrate the excellent SER performance of the proposed precoders
Robust Linear Receiver Design for Multi-Access Space-Time Block Coded MIMO Systems Using stochastic Optimization
Traditional receiver algorithms developed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems are based on the assumption that the channel state information (CSI) is precisely known at the receiver. However, in real environments the exact CSI may be unavailable. In this paper, we address the problem of robustness of multi-access spacetime block coded (STBC) MIMO systems against imperfect CSI. We propose a class of linear receivers which guarantee the robustness against CSI errors with a certain selected probability. The proposed formulations of robust receivers are given by probability-constrained optimization problems which can be simplified to convex forms. The latter convex problems can be efficiently solved using standard optimization methods. 1
