Abstract

The non-thermal X-rays from the SN 1006 NE rim present characteristic scale lengths that are interpreted in the context of diffusion of a relativistic electron. The adopted theoretical framework is the mathematical diffusion in 3D, 1D and 1D with drift as well as the Monte Carlo random walk in 1D with drift. The asymmetric random walk with diffusion from a plane can explain the scale widths of 0.04 pc upstream and 0.2 pc downstream in the non thermal intensity of X-ray emission in SN 1006. A mathematical image of the non thermal X-flux from an supernova remnant as well as profiles function of the distance from the center can be simulated. This model provides a reasonable description of both the limbs and the central region of SN 1006. A new method to deduce the magnetic field in supernova remnant is suggested.

The mildly nonlinear imprint of structure on the CMB: the $O(\ell)$ couplings are lensing and aberration

The exact 1+3 covariant multipole hierarchy for the CMB brightness contains kinematic couplings between the shear, acceleration and vorticity of the observers and the temperature multipoles, whose coefficients grow linearly in $\ell$. They are products of first-order quantities, so linearization about FLRW removes them. Here they are kept as sources in a weakly nonlinear extension of the almost-FLRW temperature anisotropies, and evaluated in the aligned-wavevector, weak-coupling limit. In the Newtonian frame the acceleration terms cancel at leading order in $1/\ell$. In the total (CDM) frame the shear terms cancel in the same way, to a residual of about $3/\ell$ of either term. Earlier versions of this paper reported that the total-frame terms do not cancel, and inferred a mildly nonlinear Rees-Sciama imprint near $\ell \sim 100 - 300$. That result came from a sign misprint in the $\ell-2$ shear coupling and is withdrawn; see the Note added. The $O(\ell)$ couplings are the multipole form of gravitational lensing and observer aberration, both already in the standard treatment. The explicit kinematic couplings written here are only part of the full second-order propagation source; the perturbed free-streaming contribution is linearized away in this paper.

Cosmic Conundrums with Quantum Corrections

Darh energy was discovered over 25 years ago and we do not have an explanation of it. Dark matter comprises 95% of matter in the universe and we still don't know what it is. The Webb telescope has been finding fully formed galaxies with massive black holes millions of times the mass of the sun in the early universe and we don't have any explanation. A quantum density limitation will be used to solve these and other outstanding problems.

On binary pulsars and the force of gravity

The energy-momentum budget of the astrophysical systems can be studied by the exact local conservation equation derived by Landau and Lifshitz. We show that a similar equation is valid for the Einstein-Cartan gravity. We reanalyze a binary pulsar system using the Landau-Lifshitz conservation equation and show that the orbital period change rate can be completely understood as a curvature backreaction process. Taking into account the detailed theoretical and observational research of relativistic binary pulsar systems, especially the system of Hulse and Taylor, we conclude that general relativity and astrophysical observations rule out the existence of gravitational radiation. We comment upon the LIGO GW events and their alternative explanation, as well as the recent pulsar timing arrays data.
