Evolution of a Neutron Star From its Birth to Old Age
M. Prakash, J. M. Lattimer, J. A. Pons +2
The main stages in the evolution of a neutron star, from its birth as a proto-neutron star, to its old age as a cold, catalyzed configuration, are described. A proto-neutron star i…
The Unusual Spectral Energy Distribution of a Galaxy Previously Reported to be at Redshift 6.68
Hsiao-Wen Chen, Kenneth M. Lanzetta, Sebastian Pascarelle +1
Observations of distant galaxies are important both for understanding how galaxies form and for probing the physical conditions of the universe at the earliest epochs. It is, howev…
Effects of Strong Magnetic Fields on Neutron Star Structure
Christian Y. Cardall, Madappa Prakash, James M. Lattimer
We study static neutron stars with poloidal magnetic fields and a simple class of electric current distributions consistent with the requirement of stationarity. For this class of…
The Anthropic Argument against Infinite Past and the Eddington-Lemaitre Universe
Milan M. Cirkovic
This study in the philosophy of cosmology is a part of an ongoing effort to investigate and reassess the importance of the anthropic (Davies-Tipler) argument against cosmologies co…
On the Small-Scale Clustering of Ly-alpha Forest Clouds
Milan M. Cirkovic, Kenneth M. Lanzetta
Recent measurements of the autocorrelation function of the Ly-alpha clouds are analyzed from the point of view of a simple model with strong clustering on the small scales. It is s…
High column densities and low extinctions of gamma-ray bursts: Evidence for hypernovae and dust destruction
Titus J. Galama, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers
We analyze a complete sample of gamma-ray burst afterglows, and find X-ray evidence for high column densities of gas around them. The column densities are in the range 1e+22-1e+23/…
