Generation of electric currents in the chromosphere via neutral-ion drag

V. Krasnoselskikh, G. Vekstein, H. S. Hudson +2

We consider the generation of electric currents in the solar chromosphere where the ionization level is typically low. We show that ambient electrons become magnetized even for wea…

PSRs J0248+6021 and J2240+5832: Young Pulsars in the Northern Galactic Plane. Discovery, Timing, and Gamma-ray observations

G. Theureau, D. Parent, I. Cognard +15

Pulsars PSR J0248+6021 (rotation period P=217 ms and spin-down power Edot = 2.13E35 erg/s) and PSR J2240+5832 (P=140 ms, Edot = 2.12E35 erg/s) were discovered in 1997 with the Nanc…

A microquasar classification from a disk instability perspective

P. Varniere, M. Tagger, J. Rodriguez

The spectacular variability of microquasars has led to a long string of efforts in order to classify their observed behaviors in a few states. The progress made in the understandin…

A source-free integration method for black hole perturbations and self-force computation: Radial fall

Sofiane Aoudia, Alessandro D. A. M. Spallicci

Perturbations of Schwarzschild-Droste black holes in the Regge-Wheeler gauge benefit from the availability of a wave equation and from the gauge invariance of the wave function, bu…

Correlation functions of small-scale fluctuations of the interplanetary magnetic field

Z. Németh, G. Facskó, E. A. Lucek

The Interplanetary Magnetic Field shows complex spatial and temporal variations. Single spacecraft measurements reveal only a one dimensional section of this rich four dimensional…

Free fall and self-force: an historical perspective

Alessandro Spallicci

Free fall has signed the greatest markings in the history of physics through the leaning Pisa tower, the Cambridge apple tree and the Einstein lift. The perspectives offered by the…

Rossby Wave Instability and three-dimensional vortices in accretion disks

H. Meheut, F. Casse, P. Varniere +1

Context. The formation of vortices in accretion disks is of high interest in various astrophysical contexts, in particular for planet formation or in the disks of compact objects.…

The European Pulsar Timing Array: current efforts and a LEAP toward the future

Robert D. Ferdman, Rutger van Haasteren, Cees G. Bassa +22

The European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) is a multi-institutional, multi-telescope collaboration, with the goal of using high-precision pulsar timing to directly detect gravitationa…

The effect of flares on total solar irradiance

Matthieu Kretzschmar, Thierry Dudok de Wit, Werner Schmutz +3

Flares are powerful energy releases occurring in stellar atmospheres. Solar flares, the most intense energy bursts in the solar system, are however hardly noticeable in the total s…

Long-term timing of four millisecond pulsars

G. H. Janssen, B. W. Stappers, C. G. Bassa +3

We have timed four millisecond pulses, PSRs J1721-2457, J1745-0952, J1810-2005, and J1918-0642, for up to a total of 10.5 years each using multiple telescopes in the European Pulsa…

A precise mass measurement of the intermediate-mass binary pulsar PSR J1802-2124

Robert D. Ferdman, Ingrid H. Stairs, Michael Kramer +14

PSR J1802-2124 is a 12.6-ms pulsar in a 16.8-hour binary orbit with a relatively massive white dwarf (WD) companion. These properties make it a member of the intermediate-mass clas…

Precision timing of PSR J1012+5307 and strong-field GR tests

Kosmas Lazaridis, Norbert Wex, Axel Jessner +10

We report on the high precision timing analysis of the pulsar-white dwarf binary PSR J1012+5307. Using 15 years of multi-telescope data from the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA)…
