Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics

High-energy astrophysics

Radio astronomy and high-energy astrophysics The early history of radio astronomy was recounted in Section 7.3; that story ended in the mid 1950s, by which time the Galactic and extragalactic nature of the discrete radio sources was establi...

High Energy Astrophysics

What role does viscosity play in accretion discs? How do you calculate the 'glitch function' of a pulsar? And can strong shocks account for the energy spectrum of electrons in our Galaxy? These are just some of the exciting questions that P...

Gravitation in Astrophysics

Essays in Nuclear Astrophysics

C A Barnes, D D Clayton and D N Schramm (eds) 1982 Cambridge: Cambridge University Press xiii + 562 pp price £40 This collection of 23 articles reviews all the many aspects of nuclear astrophysics, from solar system abundances to particle p...

Astrophysics for Physicists

Designed for teaching astrophysics to physics students at advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level, this textbook also provides an overview of astrophysics for astrophysics graduate students, before they delve into more specialize...

of cosmic-ray astrophysics

106 On the birth and development of cosmic-ray astrophysics novae and other stars, the role of acceleration near the galactic center). Also related is the problem of cosmic-ray acceleration and propagation in radio galaxies and quasars....

Seeding Cores: A Pathway for Nuclear Star Clusters from Bound Star Clusters in the First Billion Years

We model the formation of star clusters in a dwarf galaxy progenitor during the first 700 Myr of cosmic history using a cosmological radiation-hydrodynamic simulation with a sub-grid star formation efficiency (SFE) model calibrated from AU-...

White dwarf + M dwarf Detached Binaries in Long Period Radio Transients: Observed Binary Parameters, Evolution, and Population Constraints

Long period radio transients (LPTs) are the slowest radio-pulsing sources ever found, with the current population spanning periods of seven minutes to over six hours. Two of the thirteen published LPTs, ILT J1101+5521 and GLEAM-X J0704--37,...

Polarized Multiwavelength Emission from Pulsar Wind—Accretion Disk Interaction in a Transitional Millisecond Pulsar

Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) bridge the evolutionary gap between accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries and millisecond radio pulsars. These systems exhibit a unique subluminous X-ray state characterized by the prese...

D-brane and exponential potentials inspire warm inflation and swampland conjecture

This research explores the rapid expansion period of the early universe by applying the Chaplygin gas model, an alternative cosmological framework, to analyze the dynamics of inflationary processes. This study assesses the compatibility of ...

Magnetic Reconnection–driven Energization of Protons up to ∼400 keV at the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet

We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ∼400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) at a distance of ∼16.25 solar ...

Accretion Power in Astrophysics

Accretion Power in Astrophysics examines accretion as a source of energy in both binary star systems containing compact objects, and in active galactic nuclei. Assuming a basic knowledge of physics, the authors describe the physical process...

High Energy Astrophysics

Providing students with an in-depth account of the astrophysics of high energy phenomena in the Universe, the third edition of this well-established textbook is ideal for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses in high energy ...
