Rotation of inertial frames by angular momentum of matter and waves

William Barker, Tomáš Ledvinka, Donald Lynden-Bell +1

We elucidate the dynamics of a thin spherical material shell with a tangential pressure, using a new approach. This is both simpler than the traditional method of extrinsic curvatu…

Corotating light cylinders and Alfvén waves

K. N. Gourgouliatos, D. Lynden-Bell

Exact relativistic force free fields with cylindrical symmetry are explored. Such fields are generated in the interstellar gas via their connection to pulsar magnetospheres both in…

Are Complex A and the Orphan Stream related?

Shoko Jin, D. Lynden-Bell

We consider the possibility that the Galactic neutral hydrogen stream Complex A and the stellar Orphan stream are related, and use this hypothesis to determine possible distances t…

Simplified Variational Principles for Barotropic Magnetohydrodynamics

Asher Yahalom, Donald Lynden-Bell

Variational principles for magnetohydrodynamics were introduced by previous authors both in Lagrangian and Eulerian form. In this paper we introduce simpler Eulerian variational pr…

Exact Optics: A unification of optical telescope design

D. Lynden-Bell

A perfect focus telescope is one in which all rays parallel to the axis meet at a point and give equal magnification there. It is shown that these two conditions define the shapes…

A spacetime dual to the NUT spacetime

Mohammad Nouri-Zonoz, Naresh Dadhich, D. Lynden-Bell

By decomposing the Riemann curvature into electric and magnetic parts, a duality transformation, which involves interchange of active and passive electric parts, has recently been…
