Dyonic Quark Stars in Quasi-Topological Electromagnetism
Michael Gammon, Nicola De Kock, Robert B. Mann +1
In this paper we consider quark star solutions to Liu et al.'s \cite{Liu_2019} quasi-topological electromagnetism (QTEM), a recently proposed form of dark energy. Since the QTEM co…
Gravitational wave propagation through viscous matter
Vishnu Kakkat, Ulrich K. Beckering Vinckers, Nigel T. Bishop +4
It has been known that gravitational waves (GWs) transfer energy to viscous matter through which they propagate, but the effect is too weak to be astrophysically significant. Using…
Astrophysical and cosmological scenarios for gravitational wave heating
Nigel T. Bishop, Vishnu Kakkat, Amos S. Kubeka +2
Gravitational waves (GWs) passing through a viscous shell of matter are expected to be damped resulting in an increase in the temperature of the fluid as energy is transferred to i…
The interaction of gravitational waves with matter
Nigel T. Bishop, Vishnu Kakkat, Amos S. Kubeka +2
It is well-known that gravitational waves undergo no absorption or dissipation when traversing through a perfect fluid. However, in the presence of a viscous fluid, GWs transfer en…
Cosmological Evolution, Analytical Parametrization, and Dynamical Stability of a Bouncing Universe in Non-Minimal Kinetic Coupling Gravity
Alireza Amani, A. S. Kubeka, E. Mahichi
In this paper, the bouncing cosmology is studied in the framework of the non-minimal kinetic coupling theory between the scalar field and the Einstein tensor. After deriving the mo…
Gravitational Wave Heating
Vishnu Kakkat, Nigel T. Bishop, Amos S. Kubeka
It was shown in previous work that when a gravitational wave (GW) passes through a viscous shell of matter the magnitude of the GW will be damped and there are astrohysical circums…
