The study of the X-ray emission from the accreting black holes and neutron stars

Abstract

The thesis studies the X-ray emission from the Galactic compact objects (accreting neutron stars and black holes), using mainly the RXTE data. In particular following results have been included: spectral evolution of X-ray transients GRS 1739-278, XTE J1755-324, GS 1354-644, XTE J1748-288; the outburst and detailed spectroscopy of the anomalous X-ray Novae XTE J0421+560; study of the outburst of the millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 and stability of its spectrum; study of the SAX J1808.4-3658 pulse profile and relativistic distortions of the profile, the linear velocity of the emitting area on the surface of the neutron star SAX J1808.4--3658, inferred from our simplest model is about ~0.1c and the neutron star radius is about ~13 km; frequency resolved spectroscopy and its application to the hard state of Cyg X-1 and GX 339-4, correlations of the spectral and timing properties for Cyg X-1, GX 339-4 and possible connection to the disk-spheroid model of the accreting flow in the vicinity of the black hole.

A survey of debris trails from short-period comets

We observed 34 comets using the 24 micron camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Each image contains the nucleus and covers at least 10^6 km of each comet's orbit. Debris trails due to mm-sized or larger particles were found along the orbits of 27 comets; 4 comets had small-particle dust tails and a viewing geometry that made debris trails impossible to distinguish; and only 3 had no debris trail despite favorable observing conditions. There are now 30 Jupiter-family comets with known debris trails, of which 22 are reported in this paper for the first time. The detection rate is >80%, indicating that debris trails are a generic feature of short-period comets. By comparison to orbital calculations for particles of a range of sizes ejected over 2 yr prior to observation, we find that particles comprising 4 debris trails are typically mm-sized while the remainder of the debris trails require particles larger than this. The lower-limit masses of the debris trails are typically 10^11 g, and the median mass loss rate is 2 kg/s. The mass-loss rate in trail particles is comparable to that inferred from OH production rates and larger than that inferred from visible-light scattering in comae.

Deformation procedure for scalar fields in cosmology

This work offers an extension of the deformation procedure introduced in field theory to the case of standard cosmology in the presence of real scalar field in flat space-time. The procedure is shown to work for many models, which give rise to several different cosmic scenarios, evolving under the presence of first-order differential equations which solve the corresponding equations of motion very appropriately.
