The influence of dust destruction on gas cooling

The observed dust abundance in the early Universe significantly exceeds the predictions of models assuming its efficient destruction at supernova shock wave fronts.

The observed dust abundance in the early Universe significantly exceeds the predictions of models assuming its efficient destruction at supernova shock wave fronts. We investigate the effect of dust on gas cooling behind the shock wave front, taking into account both dust…
