Multifrequency evolution of the Integrated pulse profile of radio pulsars by implementing the inverse Compton mechanism

The Main Aim of this paper is to explain the emergence of new components of pulsars at higher radio bands by implementing the Inverse Compton Scattering Mechanism. From pulsar radio observation, it is seen that a couple of pulsars reveal new emission components at higher radio frequencies, although they show single-component emission at lower frequencies. We develop a brief outline, fostering inverse Compton scattering (ICS) of the low-frequency radio photons as a vulnerable source of scattering, susceptible to explaining the evolution of new components of some radio pulsars at higher bands. We couple the conventional curvature radiation (CR) mechanism and ICS, and suggest that the spectral convolution of the flux component individually from CR and the modulated template due to the ICS scattered component can be combined to reproduce such signatures associated with the diverse morphology of the integrated pulse profile. We reproduce the beam frequency diagram, the geometrical variation of different parameters of the emission geometry, as well as the multi-frequency evolution from theory. We have suitably tuned the input parameter space and given the combination of parameters that can tune to a particular scattered frequency in tabulated form. We conclude that ICS may be a responsible process for describing the emergence of new components in higher radio emission bands.

Characteristics of Rayleigh Waves in Nonlocal Porous Orthotropic Thermoelastic Layer with Diffusion Under Three-Phase-Lag Model

This article delves into the intricate dynamics of Rayleigh wave propagation within a nonlocal orthotropic medium, where the presence of void and diffusion adds an intriguing layer to the analysis. Grounded in Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory and embracing the three-phase-lag model of hyperbolic thermoelasticity, the study focuses on the interplay between the mass diffusion principles of Fick and the Fourier law under the framework of hyperbolic thermoelasticity. The investigation employs a methodological approach centered around normal mode analysis to navigate the complexities of the problem at hand. The derived frequency equation governing Rayleigh waves undergoes meticulous scrutiny through the exploration of specific cases. The elliptical trajectory of surface particles and its eccentricity during Rayleigh wave propagation are identified and calculated.

Photometric variable stars in the young open cluster NGC 6823

We present stellar variability towards the young open cluster NGC\,6823. Time series $V$- and $I$-band CCD photometry led to identification and characterization of 88 variable stars, of which only 14 have been previously recognized. We ascertain the membership of each variable with optical $UBVI$ and infrared photometry, and with Gaia EDR3 parallax and proper motion data. Seventy two variable stars are found to be cluster members, of which 25 are main sequence stars and 48 are pre-main-sequence stars. The probable cluster members collectively suggest an isochrone age of the cluster to be about 2~Myrs based on the GAIA photometry. With the color and magnitude, as well as the shape of the light curve, we have classified the main sequence variables into $β$~Cep, $δ$~Scuti, slowly pulsating B type, and new class variables. Among the pre-main-sequence variables, eight are classical T Tauri variables, and four are Herbig Ae/Be objects, whereas the remaining belong to the weak-lined T Tauri population. The variable nature of 32 stars is validated with TESS light curves. Our work provides refined classification of variability of pre-main-sequence and main-sequence cluster members of the active star-forming complex, Sharpless\,86. Despite no strong evidence of the disk-locking mechanism in the present sample of TTSs, one TTS with larger $Δ(I-K)$ is found to be slow rotator.

Protecting Memory-Performance Critical Sections in Soft Real-Time Applications

Soft real-time applications such as multimedia applications often show bursty memory access patterns---regularly requiring a high memory bandwidth for a short duration of time. Such a period is often critical for timely data processing. Hence, we call it a memory-performance critical section. Unfortunately, in multicore architecture, non-real-time applications on different cores may also demand high memory bandwidth at the same time, which can substantially increase the time spent on the memory performance critical sections. In this paper, we present BWLOCK, user-level APIs and a memory bandwidth control mechanism that can protect such memory performance critical sections of soft real-time applications. BWLOCK provides simple lock like APIs to declare memory-performance critical sections. If an application enters a memory-performance critical section, the memory bandwidth control system then dynamically limit other cores' memory access rates to protect memory performance of the application until the critical section finishes. From case studies with real-world soft real-time applications, we found (1) such memory-performance critical sections do exist and are often easy to identify; and (2) applying BWLOCK for memory critical sections significantly improve performance of the soft real-time applications at a small or no cost in throughput of non real-time applications.
