Bulk Viscosity, Decaying Dark Matter, and the Cosmic Acceleration
James R. Wilson, Grant J. Mathews, George M. Fuller
We discuss a cosmology in which cold dark-matter particles decay into relativistic particles. We argue that such decays could lead naturally to a bulk viscosity in the cosmic fluid…
On Rapidly Rotating Magnetic Core-Collapse Supernovae
J. R. Wilson, G. J. Mathews, H. E. Dalhed
We have analyzed the magnetic effects that may occur in rapidly rotating core collapse supernovae. We consider effects from both magnetic turbulence and the formation of magnetic b…
A Model of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts: Heated Neutron Stars in Close Binary Systems
Jay D. Salmonson, James R. Wilson
In this paper we present a model for the short (< 1 second) population of gamma-ray bursts. In this model heated neutron stars in a close binary system near its last stable orbit e…
A Model for Short Gamma-Ray Bursts: Heated Neutron Stars in Close Binary Systems
Jay D. Salmonson, James R. Wilson
In this paper we present a model for the short (< second) population of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In this model heated neutron stars in a close binary system near their last stable…
Neutrino Annihilation between Binary Neutron Stars
Jay D. Salmonson, James R. Wilson
We calculate the neutrino pair annihilation rate into electron pairs between two neutron stars in a binary system. We present a closed formula for the energy deposition rate at any…
Bardeen-Petterson Effect and Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in X-Ray Binaries
P. Chris Fragile, Grant J. Mathews, James R. Wilson
The Bardeen-Petterson effect around a rapidly-rotating compact object causes a tilted accretion disk to warp into the equatorial plane of the rotating body. Viscous forces cause th…
