A simple proof of exponential decay in the two dimensional percolation model
Yu Zhang
Kesten showed the exponential decay of percolation probability in the subcritical phase for the two-dimensional percolation model. This result implies his celebrated computation th…
Estimating the Spins of Stellar-Mass Black Holes by Fitting Their Continuum Spectra
Ramesh Narayan, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Rebecca Shafee
We have used the Novikov-Thorne thin disk model to fit the continuum X-ray spectra of three transient black hole X-ray binaries in the thermal state. From the fits we estimate the…
Dynamics of Magnetized Spherical Accretion Flows
Roman V. Shcherbakov
Transonic accretion flow with self-consistent treatment of random magnetic field is presented.
Fast X-ray Oscillations During Magnetar Flares
Tod E. Strohmayer
The giant flares produced by highly magnetized neutron stars, "magnetars," are the brightest sources of high energy radiation outside our solar system. Serendipitous observations w…
Radio and gamma-ray emissions from pulsars: possible observational tests
G. J. Qiao, K. J. Lee, H. G. Wang +2
Many models for the pulsar radio and -ray emissions have been developed. The tests for these models using observational data are very important. Tests for the pulsar radio emiss…
PSR B1257+12: a quark star with planets?
Youling Yue, Renxin Xu
A recent observation has shown that PSR B1257+12 could have quite small X-ray emitting area, only about 2000 m, which is more than three orders smaller than the canonical polar…
