Accretion of helium and metal-rich gas onto neutron stars and black holes at high luminosities
J. Dunkel, J. Chluba, R. A. Sunyaev
Ultraluminous X-ray sources fed by Wolf-Rayet star winds and X-ray bursters in ultracompact binaries with He or C white dwarfs have accretion disks, whose properties may significan…
Screening of the Magnetic Field of Disk Accreting Stars
R. V. E. Lovelace, M. M. Romanova, G. S. Bisnovatyi-Kogan
An analytical model is developed for the screening of the external magnetic field of a rotating, axisymmetric neutron star due to the accretion of plasma from a disk. The decrease…
Chandra temperature profiles for a sample of nearby relaxed galaxy clusters
A. Vikhlinin, M. Markevitch, S. S. Murray +3
We present Chandra gas temperature profiles at large radii for a sample of 13 nearby, relaxed galaxy clusters and groups, which includes A133, A262, A383, A478, A907, A1413, A1795,…
The effects of induced scattering of Alfven waves for the solar wind acceleratio
Andrei Sadovski
The analysis of energy balance of coronal holes gives that to accelerate the fast solar wind streams the energy flux of the order of 800 erg/cm s is needed. Axford and McKenzie…
Gamma-ray burst interaction with dense interstellar medium
Maxim Barkov, Gennady Bisnovatyi-Kogan
Interaction of cosmological gamma ray burst radiation with the dense interstellar medium of host galaxy is considered. Gas dynamical motion of interstellar medium driven by gamma r…
