In the advent of next generation gamma-ray missions, we present general properties of spectral features of high-energy emission above $1\MeV$ expected for a class of millisecond, low magnetic field ($\sim 10^9\G$) pulsars. We extend…
Recent observations have found several candidates for old warm neutron stars whose surface temperatures are above the prediction of the standard neutron star cooling scenario, and thus require some heating mechanism. Motivated by these…
Recently, a number of peculiar flares have been reported, which demonstrate significant non-thermal particle signatures with a low, if any, thermal emission, that implies close association of the observed emission with the primary energy…
We show that in the Ising pure $p$-spin model of spin glasses, shattering takes place at all inverse temperatures $\beta \in (\sqrt{(2 \log p)/p}, \sqrt{2\log 2})$ when $p$ is sufficiently large as a function of $\beta$. Of special interest…
We study the temperature structure of the intergalactic medium (IGM) using a large cosmological N-body/SPH simulation. We employ a two-temperature model for the thermal evolution of the ionized gas, in which the relaxation process between…
In this paper we study the Parisi variational problem for mixed $p$-spin glasses with Ising spins. Our starting point is a characterization of Parisi measures whose origin lies in the first order optimality conditions for the Parisi…

The temperature profile (TP) of the intracluster medium (ICM) is of primeval importance for deriving the dynamical parameters of the largest equilibrium systems known in the universe, in particular their total mass profile. Analytical…
Polarization behaviour shows a transition in the pulsar population, where energetic sources with higher spin-down energy loss, $\dot{E} > 10^{34}$ erg~s$^{-1}$, often have fractional linear polarisation ($L/I$) close to 100\%, while below…
Collisional absorption of laser light in a homogeneous, under-dense plasma is studied by a new particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code considering one-dimensional slab-plasma geometry. Coulomb collisions between charge particles in plasma…
The influence of surface small scale magnetic field on the heating of PSR J0250+5854 polar cap is considered. It is assumed that polar cap is heated only by reverse positrons, accelerated in pulsar diode. It is supposed that pulsar diode is…
Pseudogap (PG), a phenomenon of opening of gap like features above superconducting (SC) transition temperature (Tc), has been universally observed in the high-Tc cuprates (HTC) (1,2), some heavy fermion superconductors (3), and iron…
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…
