The Behavior of Matter under Extreme Conditions
F. Paerels, M. Mendez, M. Agueros +29
The cores of neutron stars harbor the highest matter densities known to occur in nature, up to several times the densities in atomic nuclei. Similarly, magnetic field strengths can…
X-ray Studies of Planetary Systems: An Astro2010 Decadal Survey White Paper
Eric Feigelson, Jeremy Drake, Ronald Elsner +7
While it may seem counterintuitive that X-ray astronomy should give any insights into low-temperature planetary systems, planets orbit stars whose magnetized surfaces divert a smal…
Spin and Relativistic Phenomena Around Black Holes
L. Brenneman, J. M. Miller, K. Nandra +13
Since the seminal work of Penrose (1969) and Blandford & Znajek (1977), it has been realized that black hole spin may be an important energy source in astrophysics. The radio-loud/…
Fundamental Accretion and Ejection Astrophysics
J. M. Miller, M. Nowak, K. Nandra +11
Disk accretion may be the fundamental astrophysical process. Stars and planets form through the accretion of gas in a disk. Black holes and galaxies co-evolve through efficient dis…
Stellar-Mass Black Holes and Their Progenitors
J. M. Miller, P. Uttley, K. Nandra +14
If a black hole has a low spin value, it must double its mass to reach a high spin parameter. Although this is easily accomplished through mergers or accretion in the case of super…
