The disciplines of asteroseismology and extrasolar planet science overlap methodically in the branch of high-precision photometric time series observations. Light curves are, amongst others, useful to measure intrinsic stellar variability…
We calculate the energy of electroweak sphalerons including one-loop fermionic corrections. This calculation has previously been done by adding the correction to the tree-level sphaleron and interpreting the resulting energy as the 1-loop…
Decay rates for the energy of solutions of the damped wave equation on the torus are studied. In particular, damping invariant in one direction and equal to a sum of squares of nonnegative functions with a particular number of derivatives…
We suggest that some observational features of high-energy radiation from pulsars should be explained in terms of three dimensional geometric models, e.g. the phase-resolved X-ray and $\gamma$-ray spectra and the energy dependent light…
Based on the expected population of core collapse supernova remnants and the huge number of detected pulsars in the Galaxy, still representing only a fraction of the real population, pulsar wind nebulae are likely to constitute one of the…
We present a theoretical model for the thermal X-ray emission and cooling of isolated pulsars, assuming that pulsars are solid quark stars. We calculate the heat capacity for such a quark star, and the results show that the residual thermal…
We explore the effect of pulsars, in particular those born with millisecond periods, on their surrounding supernova ejectas. While they spin down, fast-spinning pulsars release their tremendous rotational energy in the form of a…
The free electron model with Boltzmann statistics for spherical low-density plasmas is developed further with asymptotic relations obtaining the density of electrons, mass densities, and the potentials of such plasmas. Solutions are…
We study the evolution of closed inextensible planar curves under a second order flow that decreases the $p$-elastic energy. A short time existence result for $p \in (1,\infty)$ is obtained via a minimizing movements method. For $p = 2$,…
In this work we calculate the caloric curve (excitation energy per particle as a function of temperature) for finite nuclei within the non--linear Walecka model for different proton fractions. It is shown that the caloric curve is sensitive…
We study a simplified model for pulsed laser deposition [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 135701 (2001)] by rate equations. We consider a set of equations, where islands are assumed to be point-like, as well as an improved one that takes the size…
After a systematic introduction of some formulae for the energy radiated by localized electric charges and currents, one considers the multipole radiation and the reduction of the multipole tensors to the symmetric traceless ones.
The motion of a neutron superfluid condensate in a pulsar is studied. Several theorems of general-relativistic hydrodynamics are proved for a superfluid. The average density distribution of vortex lines in pulsars and their…
Spectrum of the neutrinos produced in the massive photon and longitudal plasmon decay process has been computed with four levels of approximation for the dispersion relations. Some analytical formulae in limiting cases are derived.…
The circularly polarized gamma-quanta with energy > 10 MeV are formed during Compton backscattering of circularly polarized laser photons on an electron beam with energy 1.26 GeV. The contribution of nonlinear processes for planned…
We derive an elegant analytic formula for the energy spectrum of the relativistic Dirac-Morse problem, which has been solved recently. The new formula displays the properties of the spectrum more vividly.
Pulsar timing array projects are carrying out high precision observations of millisecond pulsars with the aim of detecting ultra-low frequency (~ 10^{-9} to 10^{-8} Hz) gravitational waves. We show how unambiguous detections of such waves…
The properties of radial nonlinear pulsations of massive blue stars are computed with the MESA software instrument in its dynamical mode. Pulsational instabilities could be computationally detected and followed if the evolutionary timestep…
The so-called "optimal filter" analysis of a microcalorimeter's x-ray pulses is statistically optimal only if all pulses have the same shape, regardless of energy. The shapes of pulses from a nonlinear detector can and do depend on the…
The LHAASO Collaboration has observed ultrahigh-energy photons up to $1.4$PeV from $12$ $\gamma$-ray Galactic sources. In particular, the $\gamma$-ray spectra of the sources J2226+6057, J1908+0621, J1825-1326 have been published. We…
