Spallation nuclei in substellar objects: a new dark-matter signature?
Benjamin Monreal, Lorne A. Nelson, Joseph A. Formaggio
Although dark matter makes up 80% of the gravitational mass of our Galaxy, its composition is not known. One hypothesis is that dark matter consists of massive particles called WIM…
Theoretical Considerations on the Properties of Accreting Millisecond Pulsars
Lorne A. Nelson, Saul Rappaport
We examine a number of evolutionary scenarios for the recently discovered class of accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsars in ultracompact binaries, including XTE J0929-314 and…
An Exploration of the Paradigm for the 2-3 Hour Period Gap in Cataclysmic Variables
Steve B. Howell, Lorne A. Nelson, Saul Rappaport
We critically examine the basic paradigm for the origin of the 2-3 hr period gap in cataclysmic variables (CVs). We carry out an extensive population synthesis study of CVs startin…
