A supersymmetric model for triggering Supernova Ia in isolated white dwarfs
Peter L. Biermann, L. Clavelli
We propose a model for supernovae Ia explosions based on a phase transition to a supersymmetric state which becomes the active trigger for the deflagration starting the explosion i…
The origin of cosmic rays: Explosions of massive stars with magnetic winds and their supernova mechanism
Peter L. Biermann, Julia K. Becker, Jens Dreyer +3
One prediction of particle acceleration in the supernova remnants in the magnetic wind of exploding Wolf Rayet and Red Super Giant stars is that the final spectrum is a composition…
On noise treatment in radio measurements of cosmic ray air showers
F. G. Schröder, W. D. Apel, J. C. Arteaga +58
Precise measurements of the radio emission by cosmic ray air showers require an adequate treatment of noise. Unlike to usual experiments in particle physics, where noise always add…
The LOPES experiment - recent results, status and perspectives
Tim Huege
The LOPES experiment at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has been taking radio data in the frequency range from 40 to 80 MHz in coincidence with the KASCADE-Grande air shower…
On the origin of X-shaped radio galaxies
Gopal-Krishna, Peter L. Biermann, László Á. Gergely +1
After a brief, critical review of the leading explanations proposed for the small but important subset of radio galaxies showing an X-shaped morphology (XRGs) we propose a generali…
Maximal spin and energy conversion efficiency in a symbiotic system of black hole, disk and jet
Zoltán Kovács, László Á. Gergely, Peter L. Biermann
We study a combined model of black hole - accretion disk - magnetosphere - jet symbiosis, applicable for supermassive black holes. We quantify the mass and spin evolution and we an…
Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays from Centaurus A: Jet Interaction with Gaseous Shells
Gopal-Krishna, Peter L. Biermann, Vitor de Souza +1
Ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), with energies above ~6 x 10^19 eV, seem to show a weak correlation with the distribution of matter relatively near to us in the universe. It…
Supermassive black hole spin-flip during the inspiral
László Á. Gergely, Peter L. Biermann, Laurenţiu I. Caramete
During post-Newtonian evolution of a compact binary, a mass ratio different from 1 provides a second small parameter, which can lead to unexpected results. We present a statistics…
