A quantum mechanical method of calculation of bremsstrahlung spectra in alpha-decay of heavy nuclei with taking into account an angle between directions of the alpha-particle motion and the photon emission is presented. Dependence between…
A cosmological hydrodynamic code is described, which includes a routine to compute cosmic ray acceleration and transport in a simplified way. The routine was designed to follow explicitly diffusive acceleration at shocks, and second-order…
The emission from galactic black holes and Seyfert galaxies is generally understood in term of two-phase models (Haardt and Maraschi 1991, 1993). Such models postulate that a hot plasma coexists with relatively colder material in the inner…
The center of the Galaxy is a prominent source in X-rays and gamma-rays. The study of its high-energy (HE) emission is crucial in understanding the physical phenomena taking place in this dense and extreme environment, where the closest…
The atmospheres of planets (including Earth) and the outer layers of stars have often been treated in radiative transfer as plane-parallel media, instead of spherical shells, which can lead to inaccuracy, e.g. limb darkening. We give an…
Low energy bremsstrahlung formulae are derived for a particle beam of charged bosons forming a Bose-Einsten condensate. The expression for energy radiated consists of two terms in this case. One of them, the larger one in the limit of large…
