Study of the synchrotron and inverse Compton radiations of relativistic jets in GRS 1915+105

Abstract

Comparison of the detailed calculations of the synchrotron radiation of expanding magnetized clouds with the temporal and spectral evolution of radio flares observed from the recently discovered galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 imposes strong constraints on the model parameters of relativistic plasmoids. The data of radio monitoring of the pair of ejecta not only enable unambiguous determination of the aspect angle and the speeds of propagation of both components, but also contain an important information about the energy source for acceleration of the electrons, in particular, may distinguish between the scenarios of bow-shock powered and magnetized relativistic wind powered plasmoids. Within the framework of the synchrotron self Compton model we calculate the fluxes of synchrotron hard X-rays and GeV/TeV inverse Compton gamma-rays, and discuss constraints on the parameters of GRS 1915+105 which could be provided by positive detection or flux upper limits of these energetic photons.

Cosmic Conundrums with Quantum Corrections

Darh energy was discovered over 25 years ago and we do not have an explanation of it. Dark matter comprises 95% of matter in the universe and we still don't know what it is. The Webb telescope has been finding fully formed galaxies with massive black holes millions of times the mass of the sun in the early universe and we don't have any explanation. A quantum density limitation will be used to solve these and other outstanding problems.

On binary pulsars and the force of gravity

The energy-momentum budget of the astrophysical systems can be studied by the exact local conservation equation derived by Landau and Lifshitz. We show that a similar equation is valid for the Einstein-Cartan gravity. We reanalyze a binary pulsar system using the Landau-Lifshitz conservation equation and show that the orbital period change rate can be completely understood as a curvature backreaction process. Taking into account the detailed theoretical and observational research of relativistic binary pulsar systems, especially the system of Hulse and Taylor, we conclude that general relativity and astrophysical observations rule out the existence of gravitational radiation. We comment upon the LIGO GW events and their alternative explanation, as well as the recent pulsar timing arrays data.

Oscillation frequencies and mode lifetimes in alpha Centauri A

We analyse our recently-published velocity measurements of alpha Cen A (Butler et al. 2004). After adjusting the weights on a night-by-night basis in order to optimize the window function to minimize sidelobes, we extract 42 oscillation frequencies with l=0 to 3 and measure the large and small frequency separations. We give fitted relations to these frequencies that can be compared with theoretical models and conclude that the observed scatter about these fits is due to the finite lifetimes of the oscillation modes. We estimate the mode lifetimes to be 1-2 d, substantially shorter than in the Sun.
