... Obviously, the size of the cavern is of the order of the Schwartzman radius. ... Thus, consideration of the inverse effect of pulsar radiation on the properties of accreting plasma makes the ejection possible even when the Schwartzman radius is smaller than the capture radius. ... If the cavern radius , the condition at its boundary can be written as . ... Apart from magnetic dipole radiation, the cavern may also contain relativistic particles (which are also reflected from the cavern boundary). ...

(a) K2 1 K21 (1975) 27, Subject classification: 18.2: 21.1; 21.1.1 Solid State Physics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Chernogolovka The Effect of Pressure on the Curie Points of Fe-Ni-Cu and Fe-Ni-Mn Alloys BY V.E. ANTONOV, G.T. DUBOVKA, and E.G. PONYATOVSKII There is a series of papers on the effect of pressure on the Curie points T of C Fe alloys with other transition elements. ... The dependence of the Curie points on pressure is linear. ... 1 Fig. ...

... Initially SAI Supernova Catalogue was presented in the form of filebased system. ... The current version of SAI Supernova Catalogue presents data on supernovae together with data on their parent galaxies. ... The main source of data for the galaxies was LEDA database. ... In some cases our data were compared with the ones from the Asiago Supernova Catalogue and from List of Supernovae at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, but the compilation of our Catalogue is carried out independently. ...

Magnetic Fields around Radio Galaxies Robert Laing (ESO) Laing et al. ... 2008) Negligible depolarization and 2 rotation Almost all Faraday effects must be due to foreground material How to fit depolarization caused by foreground Faraday rotation Complex polarization Rotation measure Integrate over a beam Observed RM for 0 2 rotation and depolarization Faraday rotation and depolarization 5.5 arcsec FWHM Faraday effects at high resolution FWHM = 1.5 ...

In order to measure the density of the Universe, it is necessary to sample a region that is larger than the scale on which the Universe becomes approximately homogeneous. ... When applied to clusters of galaxies we find a mass to luminosity ratio that implies a density of the Universe that is about 0.3 times the critical density. ... Thus the mass-to-muinosity ratio appears to vary with the size of the region measured, from 3 in the solar neighborhood to 30 in galaxies to 300 in clusters of galaxies. ...

... By modelling the afterglow it is deduced the density structure around some GRBs is that found in the free-wind region of the stellar wind bubbles formed around massive Wolf-Rayet stars ( r-2). ... How to get a constant density medium? ... We find that for the single star free-wind regions to reach this size the initial ISM density must be unusually high, >105 cm-3. ... For the free-wind region to be shrunk enough the density of the ISM must be 103 cm-3, and the stellar velocity must be 100 km s-1. ...

Problem Set 2 - Cosmology­A3002 ­Due on or before November 7th. Can be sent via internal mail (Brian Schmidt, RSAA) use H0=70 km/s/Mpc, M=0.27, =0.73, w=-1 for all problems. ... Finish off your Monte Carlo simulation by selecting objects at random redshifts from 0<z<0.1, assuming that they have a mean absolute magnitude of M=-19.5 with a dispersion 0.2 magnitudes. ... Problem 2.1 (2 pt): In class we described the scale at which material can collapse in the Universe as the Jeans' length. ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . The more we explore our Galaxy the more difficult it becomes to find static initial states. This leads us to study molecular clouds as dynamic in which initial conditions are neither prescribed or necessary. And this leads us to a new emerging paradigm which solves many of the nagging problems of the last two decades. The birth of stars is regulated by supersonic turbulence and its interplay with gravity. ...

Spinar Paradigm and Central Engine of the All Types Gamma Ray Bursts V.Lipunov1,2,3 & E.Gorbovskoy1,2,3 1Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Moscow, Universitetsky pr. ... A spinar is a quasi-equilibrium collapsing object whose equilibrium is maintained by the balance of centrifugal and gravitational forces and whose evolution is determined by its magnetic field. ... 10 Computed energy release during the process of collapse with low angular momentum and weak magnetic field. [pic] Fig .11. ...

Next: Rapidly Rotating Stars Up: Discussion Previous: Relations . ... They attributed this to a mechanism which regulated stellar angular momentum through the accretion disk. ... While some of this may be due to sampling effects, the data seem to indicate that after a star loses its disk, either it continues its slow rotation for a period of time and then a rapid increase in rotation rate commences or spin up does not necessarily follow the loss of the disk. ...

... Key words: stars: magnetic fields ­ stars: chemically p eculiar 1 Intro duction On the basis of all the available published magnetic measurements for Ap stars we have found a few relations describing the frequency of o ccurrence of the sp ecific magnetic field intensity for all typ es of chemical p eculiarities (Bychkov et al. 2003a). ... Magnetization of stars in the `strongly'-magnetic group exceeds that in the `weak'-magnetic group typically by a factor of 5­10, on the average. ...
