After inflation the Universe presumably undergoes a phase of reheating which in effect starts the thermal big bang cosmology. However, so far we have very little direct experimental or observational evidence of this important phase of the…
In our previous work we suggested a very simple, approximate formalism for description of some basic (especially thermodynamical) characteristics of a non-charged, rotating, very thin black ring. Here, in our new work, generalizing our…
It is shown that the theory of dark matter can be derived from the first principles. Particles representing a new form of matter gravitate but do not interact electromagnetically, strongly and weakly with the known elementary particles.…
The possibility of an alternative way to formulate the Hawking radiation in a static Schwarzschild spacetime has been explored. To calculate the Hawking radiation, there can be two possible choices of the spacetime wedge pairs in the…
High precision spectroscopy can provide a sensitive tool to test Coulomb's law on atomic length scales. This can then be used to constrain particles such as extra "hidden" photons or minicharged particles that are predicted in many…
It is shown that probabilities of photon detection can be found on the basis of consideration of the phase space sells filling for an ideal photon gas, which led Bose to the derivation of the Planks law. These probabilities are directly…
We have recently proposed a model for a regular black hole, or an ultra-compact object, that is premised on having maximally negative radial pressure throughout the entirety of the object's interior. This model can be viewed as that of a…
Hawking temperature is computed for a large class of black holes (with spherical, toroidal and hyperboloidal topologies) using only laws of classical physics plus the "classical" Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. This principle is shown to…
We investigate Hawking radiation from two-dimensional dilatonic black holes using standard quantization techniques. In the background of a collapsing black hole solution the Bogoliubov coefficients can be exactly determined. In the regime…
Within the approach to doubly special relativity (DSR) suggested by Magueijo and Smolin, a new algebraically justified rule of so-called $\kappa$-addition for the energies of identical particles is proposed. This rule permits to introduce…
For the first time in literature, we provide an exact analytical scheme for calculating the analogous Hawking temperature and surface gravity for general relativistic accretion onto astrophysical black holes. Our calculation may bridge the…
Thermodynamic characteristics of the radiation of condensed combustion products presented in the form of agglomerates of metal-oxide nanoparticles demonstrate deviations from the classical Planck's law. We propose to interpret these…
Planck allows unbiased mapping of Galactic sub-millimetre and millimetre emission from the most diffuse regions to the densest parts of molecular clouds. We present an early analysis of the Taurus molecular complex, on…
Recent research on the development of a thermal cloak has concentrated on engineering an inhomogeneous thermal conductivity and homogeneous volumetric heat capacity. While the perfect cloak of inhomogeneous $\kappa$ and $\rho c_p$ is known…
We study the Hawking radiation in a new class of black hole solutions in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory. The black hole has been argued to have vanishing mass and entropy, but finite Hawking temperature. To check if it really emits…
In this work we suggest a very simple, approximate formalism for description of some basic (especially thermodynamical) characteristics of a rotating, very thin black ring. (In fact, our formalism is not theoretically dubious, since, at it…
The dielectric crystal with the index of refraction n is inserted in the Planck blackbody. The spectral formula for photons in such dielectric medium is derived with the equation for the temperature of internal photons. The derived equation…
We compute the decay spectrum for dark matter (DM) with masses above the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking, all the way to the Planck scale. For an arbitrary hard process involving a decay to the unbroken standard model, we determine…
Microscopic black holes explode with their temperature varying inversely as their mass. Such explosions would lead to the highest temperatures in the present universe, all the way to the Planck energy. The possibility that a…
Black holes are more than just odd-looking curiosities in gravity theory. They uniquely intertwine the basic principles of General Relativity with those of Quantum Theory. Just by demanding that they nevertheless obey acceptable laws of…
