GECAM discovery of a peculiar magnetar X-ray burst (MXB 221120) from SGR J1935+2154 associated with a fast radio burst
Wen-Jun Tan, Yue Wang, Chen-Wei Wang +50
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are enigmatic cosmic transients of millisecond duration observed in the radio band. The identification of FRB-associated magnetar X-ray bursts (MXBs) from…
Revisiting neutrino-driven magnetogenesis during stellar core collapse
Fan Zhang
The literature has not converged onto a precise depiction of the magnetogenesis process for pulsars, and it is profitable to preliminarily but exhaustively assess the viability of…
Little Red reionization factories
Fan Zhang
In this note, we suggest the possibility that an elucidation of the nature of the numerous Little Red Dots (LRDs) at high redshifts, may facilitate the resolution of another concur…
Radio filaments as Z-pinched Galactic center wind
Fan Zhang
In this brief note, we tentatively investigate the possibility that the radio filaments are produced when the Galactic center wind washes over magnetic field structures. The electr…
A dynamical systems perspective on the celestial mechanical contribution to the emergence of life
Fan Zhang
Biological activities are often seen entrained onto the day-night and other celestial mechanical cycles (e.g., seasonal and lunar), but studies on the origin of life have largely n…
Gravity-driven magnetogenesis
Fan Zhang
Structure formation heralds the era of deviation of the matter content of the Universe away from thermal equilibrium, so the gravitational contribution to entropy, in the form of W…
Final parsec evolution in the presence of intermediate mass black holes
Fan Zhang
In this short note, we draw attention to the possibility that, under favorable conditions, the final parsec problem could be alleviated by the presence of a moderate population of…
