The Limiting Stellar Initial Mass for Black Hole Formation in Close Binary Systems

C. L. Fryer, A. Heger, N. Langer +1

We present models for the complete life and death of a 60 solar mass star evolving in a close binary system, from the main sequence phase to the formation of a compact remnant and…

A perspectival version of the modal interpretation of quantum mechanics and the origin of macroscopic behavior

Gyula Bene, Dennis Dieks

We study the process of observation (measurement), within the framework of a `perspectival' (`relational', `relative state') version of the modal interpretation of quantum mechanic…

A superburst from GX 3+1

Erik Kuulkers

I found one long X-ray flare from the X-ray burster GX 3+1 in almost 6 years of observations with the RXTE All Sky Monitor (ASM). The event had a peak flux of about 1.1 Crab (1.5-1…

A geometric approach to D-branes in group manifolds

Sonia Stanciu

This is a brief review of some recent results on the geometric approach to symmetric D-branes in group manifolds, both twisted and untwisted. We describe the geometry of the gluing…

Modelling Plerion Spectra and their Evolution

Yves A. Gallant, Eric van der Swaluw, John G. Kirk +1

We review recent theoretical developments on pulsar winds, their nebulae and relativistic shock acceleration, and show how they illuminate unsolved problems in plerion spectra, in…

The kinematics of lopsided galaxies

Edo Noordermeer, Linda S. Sparke, Stephen E. Levine

Lopsidedness is a common feature in galaxies, both in the distribution of light and in the kinematics. We investigate the kinematics of a model for lopsided galaxies that consists…
