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…

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…

A complex environment around Cir X-1

A. D'Ai, R. Iaria, T. Di Salvo +2

We present the results of an archival 54 ks long Chandra observation of the peculiar source Cir X--1 during the phase passage 0.223-0.261. A comparative analysis of X-ray spectra,…
