... About ATNF overview . ... Parkes radio telescope . ... Saxton & Wu (1999) presented calculations of the stability of the accretion shock which forms on the surface of an accreting magnetic white dwarf in AM Herculis type systems in an attempt to explain the observed properties of the quasi periodic oscillations sometimes seen in these systems. He showed that radiative cooling may cause thermal instability in the post-shock structure of the accretion flow settling onto a magnetic white dwarf. ...

... At the surface of the rotating neutron star with a strong dipole magnetic field the quadrupole electrical field is induced due to the action of the unipolar generator: E=v xB/c. In this electrical field strong particle acceleration takes place, which is accompanied by the cascade e + e - pair production. ...

. A gamma-ray pulsar is a compact neutron star that accelerates charged particles to relativistic speeds in its extremely strong magnetic field. This process produces gamma radiation (violet) far above the surface of the compact remains of the star, while radio waves (green) are emitted over the magnetic poles in the form of a cone. The rotation sweeps the emission regions across the terrestrial line of sight, making the pulsar light up periodically in the sky. б© NASA/Fermi/Cruz de Wilde

Geoff Bicknell, Alexander Wagner We are engaged in the following computationally intensive projects related to Black Hole and other energetic phenomena. Accretion disks. ... We envisage that we will determine the way in which gravitational energy is channeled into the high temperature coronae of black hole accretion disks and into relativistic jets and winds. ...

In two previous papers we investigated in detail the formation of Hydrogen lines in high pressure dMe stellar chromospheres, constraining the possible structures over a two orders of magnitude pressure range. ... We found that when decreasing the transitoin region presure (i.e. the chromospheric temperature gradient), the Balmer lines change rapidly from emission to strong absorption, then the profiles weaken and become narrower until they disappear totally (zero H$_{\alpha}$ stars). ...
