Isothermal neutron star cores

By considering the relativistic expression for isothermal NS cores,T·e ^/2 = constant, we have shown that some of the standard equations of state, when applied to NS cores, correspond to constancy of some adiabatic exponents. It has been shown that the equation of state,P=KE, corresponds to ₁ = to ₂ = ₃ 1 +K and the equation of state, dP/dE=K, corresponds to ₃ 1 +K. The conditions under which different equations of state represent isothermal cores have been obtained: For isothermal NS, the local temperatureT, can be expressed in terms of pressureP, energy densityE, and rest mass density . For example: (a)P =KE :T = constant × (E/); (b)P=KE :T = constant × (P/); (c) dP/dE =K :T ^K ; (d) = ₂ :T = constant × (P/E); and (e) = ₃ :T = constant × (P/)^1/2. Equation of state corresponding to = ₂ is obtained as:P=E/ln(K/E) and the equation corresponding to = ₃ comes out as:E=P ln(K/P). Core-envelope models can be developed for these two cases. When core equation corresponding to = ₂ or = ₃ is used in the core, we can ensure the continuity of dP/dE at the core-envelope boundary, along with the continuity ofP, E, , and . The parameters of isothermal NS cores corresponding to the cases = ₂ and = ₃, have been obtained. The maximum mass of these NS cores comes out to be 2.7 .     

On the uniqueness of the determination of the coronal potential magnetic field from line-of-sight boundary conditions

We consider a simple model in which the coronal magnetic field B is assumed to be potential in the region between the solar surface _o and an exterior source-surface ₁ of arbitrary shape. We prove that the boundary value problem that determines B from the value B _lof its component on ₀ along either (orthoradial direction) or (fixed direction) has at most one solution. On the other hand, we show that a solution can exist only if B _lsatisfies some solubility conditions.     

Is a Power-Law Form of the Correlation Gamma Function Sufficient to State that a Distribution Has Fractal Properties?

This investigation indicates an ambiguity in interpreting the results of applying the apparatus of the correlation gamma function [(r) and ^*(r)] to analyze the spatial distribution of objects from some sample. The presence of a linear section in the dependences of log() on log(r) and of log(^*) on log(r) proves to be insufficient to state that the distribution has fractal properties (self-similarity). It is shown that a change in the geometrical boundaries of the sample may influence the form of the dependences of log() on log(r) and of log(^*) on log(r).

The Lyapunov transformation of Hill's equation and his dynamic interpretation

The Lyapunov transformation carries Hill's equationÿ+F(t)y=0,F(t+T)=F(t) into another one which belongs to the same class in Yakubovich's classification.Let (C) be a closed trajectory of a Lagrangian conservative system with two degrees of freedom. By the Principle of Least action, we know that (C) is the image of a geodesic () of a certain two-dimensional surface ().We show that the two Hill equations associated with (C) and () are related by a certain Lyapunov transformation.

Core-envelope models for massive fluid spheres

The solution of equation of state corresponding to equality =₃ gives non-terminating solutions for isothermal neutron star cores. Hence, for this equality, core-envelope models have been developed by taking another equation of state, corresponding to the condition ₃, in the envelope. Various static, pulsational, and rotational parameters pertaining to neutron star models are calculated. These models are gravitationally bound and stable for radial perturbations and slow rotations.

On the pulsation amplitude of cepheid variables

On the basis of more abundant data a relation logPV/logR for cepheid variables (Fernie, 1965) is constructed. A linear relation between logP V and logR for classical cepheids is found, which perhaps has a break at R=10R . On the logR/logP diagram thes-cepheids (Efremov, 1968) show a distinct sequence. Alls-cepheids present a relative variation of the radii R/R0.075. The existence of non-s-cepheids with R/R0.075 raises a point about the evolutionary place of these stars (see Efremov, 1968). One could suppose that cepheids with logP>1.1 pulsate in the first overtone.     

A search for discrete gamma-ray sources of energy greater than 2×1012 eV

The results of the observations to search gamma-ray sources with the energy greater than 2×10¹² eV, which were made in Crimean Astrophysical Observatory during the years 1969–73 are presented. A technique of the detection of the EAS Cerenkov flashes was used.The quality of the data obtained is analysed. The criteria for the selection of the data free from meteorological variations are considered.It was shown that two objects, namely, Cyg X-3 and Cas -1, may be the sources of high-energy gamma quanta. It is probable that the object with the coordinates =05^h15^m, =+1° is the source of gamma-rays as well. An unidentified object Cas -1 is variable: gamma-ray flux was observed twice — in Sepember–October 1971 and in December 1972. It is possible that the flux from Cyg X-3 has a period of 4.8 hr.

On the Power in the Legendre Modes of the Solar Radial Magnetic Field

The power in the different modes of an expansion of the solar radial magnetic field at the surface in terms of Legendre polynomials,P , is calculated with the help of a solar dynamo model studied earlier. The model is of the Babcock–Leighton type, i.e., the surface eruptions of the toroidal magnetic field – through the tilt angle, , formed by the magnetic axis of a bipolar magnetic region with the east-west line – are the sources for the poloidal field. In this paper it is assumed that the tilt angle is subject to fluctuations of the form, = ()+ <> where <> is the average value and () is a random normal fluctuation with standard deviation which is taken from Howard's observations of the distribution of tilt angles. For numerical considerations, negative values of were not allowed. If this occurred, was recalculated. The numerical integrations were started with a toroidal magnetic field antisymmetric across the equator, large enough to generate eruptions, and a negligible poloidal field. The fluctuations in the tilt angle destroy the antisymmetry as time increases. The power of the antisymmetric modes across the equator (i.e., odd values of ) is concentrated in frequencies, _p, corresponding to the cycle period. The maximum power lies in the =3 mode with considerable power in the =5 mode, in broad agreement with Stenflo's results who finds a maximum power at =5. For the symmetric modes, there is considerable power in frequencies larger than _p, again in broad agreement with Stenflo's power spectrum.     

Bianchi type-I Lyttleton-Bondi universe

We present a scalar-tensor theory whose weak field limit gives exactly the potential proposed by Fischbachet al. (1986). The three experimental constantsG , , and are related to three parameters in our theory. At the level of the theory we have obtained the field produced by a source. The way this field should couple with a massive and charged particle (baryonic hypercharge) is a matter beyond the scope of this work.     

Effects of diverging coronal fields on the solar wind expansion

The expansion of the solar wind in divergent flux tubes is calculated by taking into account a magnetic acceleration of the particles, analogous to the magnetic mirror effect.The resulting force term included in the magnetohydrodynamical equations describes a conversion of thermal into kinetic energy. This causes an additional acceleration of the solar wind plasma which has never been taken into account before. The force is directed opposite to the magnetic field gradient. Consequently, in this case the solar wind velocity increases faster to its asymptotic value than it does for corresponding nonmagnetic solutions. Therefore inside and close to the solar corona markedly higher velocities are found. Compared to strictly hydrodynamical models, the critical point is shifted towards the Sun, and the radial decrease of the ratio of thermal to kinetic energy is faster.The necessary prerequisites for these calculations are (a) that the gyroperoid _g of the plasma particles is much shorter than the Coulomb collision time _c , and (b) that the collision time _c is shorter than the characteristic time _d in which an appreciable amount of thermal anisotropy is built up. Thus it is (a) insured that the particles have established magnetic moments and follow the guiding center approximation, and (b) an almost isotropic velocity distribution function is maintained which, in this first approximation of a purely radial expansion, justifies the use of isotropic pressures and temperatures.Both (a) and (b) are shown to be fulfilled in a region around the Sun out to about 20R , and thermal anisotropies developing outside of this region could explain the observed magnetically aligned anisotropies at 1 AU.     

The rate of growth of density perturbations in simple big-bang model universes

In this paper we present exact solutions to the density perturbation equation derived by Bonnor for the cases where = _c ,k=1 and = – _c ,k=–1. The solutions when =0,k=1 and =0,k=–1 have been previously published. Using these solutions a quantitative analysis has been carried out that has enabled us to estimate the size of the fluctuations that must be postulated at decoupling in order to explain the formation of the galaxies in these model universes.     

Comparison between some Hα and X-ray flares

In the present paper, H-evolutive curves of chromospheric events are compared with flux evolutive curves of X-ray events observed at the same time in different spectral regions. A correspondence between the emissions E(I _H/I _chr)'s at higher and higher H-intensity levels, and the X-ray fluxes F()'s in harder and harder -ranges is shown. Further, the present observations seem to indicate the existence of a single triggering mechanism during the flash-phase of a flare. It is also shown that these results may be in agreement with Brown's model for chromospheric flares.     

Correlation Properties of a Distribution of Objects from the PSCz Survey

The properties of a sample of IR galaxies from the Point Source Catalog z (PSCz) Survey were investigated using the correlation gamma function [(r) and ^*(r)]. The results with different volume-limited subsamples indicate that the regions of strong correlations (a power-law decrease in density with distance with an exponent ₁ 1) are limited to a scale of 10-15 Mpc. A break is present at this scale in the dependences of log() on log(r) and of log(^*) on log(r). Such a break is also observed for various other samples of galaxies and clusters (at different scales). After the break the density dependence changes to another regime, corresponding to a fully uniform distribution for bright galaxies in the northern Galactic hemisphere. For some subsamples of the southern and northern hemispheres the latter regime corresponds to some decrease in density with distance. Indications of significant differences between the distributions of objects in the southern and northern hemispheres are obtained. It is shown that the section of the gamma function after the break, even when its extent is small, is a significant indicator of actual correlation properties of the distributions. The results of the analysis are in good agreement, on the whole, with preceding studies of the PSCz survey.

Multiple expansion of the tidal potential

The Earth tidal deformation causes an additional gravitational potential. Its effect on the Moon orbital motion has been studied by several authors.In this contribution, we develop this additional potential without specifying the inertial frame chosen.For this purpose, we use the properties of the representation of rotation groups in 3 dimensions space. We finally obtain the interaction potential between the distorted Earth and the Moon which is a necessary preliminary to the study of the evolution of the Earth-Moon system.Nomenclature T.R.O Tide raising object - (, , ) Spherical coordinates of the T.R.O. - (J, _E ) Earth spin axis orientation. _E is the longitude of the ascending node of Earth's equator on thexy-plane - (a ,I ,e , , ,M ) Elliptics elements of the T.R.O     

A new type of a photoelectric magnetograph

The electro-optic deflector as an analyzer of circular polarization in the photoelectric magnetograph is described. The electro-optic deflector consists of an electro-optic crystal and a polarizing beamsplitter. The plane bifurcation of this beamsplitter coincides with the spectrograph dispersion direction. The beamsplitter bifurcates a spectral line in two components. The distance between them is ₀. The photometer slit is situated between these components. Both components of Zeeman splitting fall on the photometer slit but the distance between them varies from ₀ + 2 _H to ₀ – 2 _H (where _H is the Zeeman splitting) with the electric voltage frequency applied to the electro-optic crystal. The intensity variations at the photometer slit are proportional to 4 _H .     

The spectral indices in the optical continuum of the QSOs,BL Lacertae objects and the nuclei of Seyfert,N and normal galaxies

The hypothesis that the optical continua of QSOs, BL Lac objects and the nuclei of Seyfert, N and normal galaxies arise due to incoherent synchrotron radiation from electrons and consequently the flux of radiation in the optical continua of these objects is given by the power law:F(v)v is examined. Following Kinman, spectral indices _B–V and _U–B in(B-V) and(U-B) colours as well as their average and difference have been defined and calculated for samples of 227 QSOs, 32 BL Lac objects and nuclei of 62 Seyfert, 12 N and 7 normal galaxies. Here has been assumed to be an estimate of the spectral index . On the other hand, has been regarded as a measure of departure from the power law. On the basis of this, the distributions of and in QSOs, BL Lac objects and the nuclei of Seyfert, N and normal galaxies have been studied. The value of depends mainly on the balance of the energy loss due to synchrotron radiation and the rate of replenishment of energy by injection of high energy electrons in the radiating region. The increase in the value of and therefore that of indicates that the activity in the object is slowing down and the object is growing older. Assuming that the QSOs, BL Lac objects and the nuclei of Seyfert, N and normal galaxies essentially represent different phases in the evolutionary sequence of extragalactic objects, we suggest that they may be arranged in the sequence: QSOsBL Lac objects Seyferts 1N galaxies Seyferts 2 Normal galaxies in the decreasing order of activity in the core or nuclei of these objects.On leave of absence from the Government Science College, Rajpur, M.P., India.
