The document discusses accretion processes around compact objects like black holes. It notes that up to 50% of stars exist in binary systems, meaning there may be millions of binary systems containing a black hole. As material spirals inward due to friction, energy is released and the spectrum and luminosity of the outgoing radiation depends on the accretion rate. At subcritical rates, the disk luminosity is around 1034-1036 erg/sec and the maximum temperature reaches 3x105-106 K in the inner disk. The frequency dependence of radiation intensity can be approximated as ν-1/3. Theories of disk accretion at subcritical regimes are discussed, assuming Newtonian mechanics and taking the inner disk boundary to be 3 gravitational

Brighton Astro - Neutron Star Presentation
Neutron stars are extremely dense collapsed cores of massive stars. They form through the supernova explosion that occurs when stars over 1.4 times the sun's mass reach the end of their life cycles. Neutron stars can have masses over twice the sun's yet be only 20 kilometers wide, making them incredibly dense. They exhibit a variety of behaviors depending on their spin rates and magnetic fields, including pulsating beams of radiation, powerful bursts of x-rays and gamma rays, and warping of spacetime from their intense gravity. It is estimated there are over a billion neutron stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
Neutron Star
Pulsars are powered by the loss of rotational energy or by accretion of infalling matter. Magnetars are pulsars with extremely strong magnetic fields that provide their power. Neutron stars are formed during the gravitational collapse of massive stars over 8 times the mass of our Sun in a supernova explosion. They are only about 20 km in diameter but have around 1.4 times the mass of our Sun, making them incredibly dense - a teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh over a billion tons on Earth.
Vortex Reconnection and the Role of Topology
We perform numerical experiments of relaxing and reconnecting vortex braids. While these braids have no net kinetic helicity, they are topologically non-trivial. Similar experiments with magnetic braids in MHD have shown a non-trivial relaxation behavior that resulted in two distinct twisted flux tubes. Here we observe the same separation behavior. Furthermore, we show analytically and experimentally that the presence of unsigned kinetic helicity poses a lower bound for the enstrophy of the system, similar to the realizability condition in MHD. Lastly, even the kinetic energy appears limited from below by the unsigned helicity, although we do not have an analytical explanation for this.

The atmosphere is divided into layers based on temperature changes:
1) The troposphere is the lowest layer where weather occurs and where humans live.
2) The stratosphere absorbs UV radiation and contains the ozone layer.
3) The mesosphere is the coldest part where most meteoroids burn up.
4) The thermosphere is the outermost layer and contains the ionosphere and exosphere, where communication satellites orbit Earth.
Saturn
The winds on Saturn are extremely powerful, equivalent to having two hurricanes constantly swirling, which causes the distinctive yellow and gold bands visible in its atmosphere. Saturn is on average over 1.3 billion km from Earth, with Titan being over 2.3 billion km away. The most common minerals on Saturn are silicates and carbon, and the climate is very hostile with winds up to 1,100 mph. A day on Saturn lasts 10 hours, 39 minutes and 20 seconds, and the weather is always hazy and cloudy. Saturn's core is made up of rocky material surrounded by layers of liquid metallic hydrogen and molecular hydrogen, as well as molten compounds of rock, methane and ammonia.

This document summarizes a study analyzing spatially coincident high-energy neutrino events detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and gamma-ray sources observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The study found that three out of fifteen high-energy neutrino events detected by IceCube were spatially coincident with gamma-ray sources in the Fermi 3FGL catalog, including one Fermi blazar and two BL Lac objects. To interpret these results, the study calculated the probability of such spatial coincidences occurring by chance based on the positions of known gamma-ray sources and found it to be low. This suggests astrophysical neutrino sources may be identified through multi-messenger observations with IceCube and Fermi.
Solar Prominence
Solar prominences are huge loops of solar material that extend outward from the sun's surface. They can be several miles wide and tall. Prominences form over timescales of about a day and contain cooler plasma than the corona, appearing as bright features against the dark sky. The largest prominence observed was over 350,000 km long. Prominences are anchored in the photosphere by magnetic fields and supported against gravity, existing at boundaries between magnetic polarities. They can persist in the corona for several months before erupting.

Solar System
Earth science or Geoscience is an all-embracing term referring to the fields of science dealing with planet Earth. It is arguably a special branch of planetary science, though with a much older history. There are both reductionist and holistic approaches to Earth sciences. The formal discipline of Earth sciences may include the study of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, oceans and biosphere, as well as the solid earth. Typically, Earth scientists will use tools from physics, chemistry, biology, chronology, and mathematics to build a quantitative understanding of how the Earth system works, and how it evolved to its current state.
Solar Catcher
The document describes the Solar CatcherTM, an advanced solar power conversion system that uses a Brayton cycle turbine with alternator for high efficiency. It can include optional energy storage like vanadium batteries for 24 hours of operation. The system has an efficiency over 30% with no piping needed and can operate at moderate turbine temperatures. It is designed for areas like Asia with medium solar insolation and hot, humid climates.
Planet formation and migration - Alessandro Morbidelli
- Planets grow through accretion of pebbles from the gas disk, allowing for rapid growth through a "runaway" process.
- As planets grow larger than a certain size, they interact with the gas disk in a way that causes them to migrate inward or outward.
- Small planets generally migrate inward due to interactions with the gas disk, but certain conditions like a positive surface density gradient can cause outward migration.
- Larger planets are able to open gaps in the disk and migrate more slowly, and interactions between multiple giant planets can under some conditions slow or reverse their migration.
Innovations in water management for small farmers
Innovations in water management for small farmers IFAD International Fund for Agricultural Development
The document discusses innovations in water management for small farmers in semi-arid regions. It notes that over 800 million people live in semi-arid areas and face challenges of poverty, land degradation, lack of water access, and more. New technologies discussed include improved water storage systems, irrigation expansion, on-farm water management techniques, use of sensors to measure soil data, harnessing of groundwater resources, integrating irrigation with water/sanitation sectors, climate change mitigation strategies, and using mycorrhizae fungi and biochar to improve soil and water retention. The document advocates for a holistic integrated water resources management approach to improve livelihoods for farmers in dryland regions.Proto-planetary disks and planetesimal accretion - Alessandro Morbidelli

1) The document discusses models of planetesimal formation in proto-planetary disks, including the streaming instability which allows small particles to cluster together due to gas drag effects and potentially become self-gravitating.
2) It notes that while initial models proposed planetesimals forming from "pebbles" 15-60cm in size, evidence from chondrites suggests they may have formed from much smaller chondrule-sized particles instead.
3) Evidence from the size distributions of asteroids and Kuiper belt objects indicates that the first planetesimals formed must have been large, on the order of 100km or more in size.New solar system presentation
The document summarizes the formation of the solar system based on the nebular hypothesis. It explains that the solar system formed from the gravitational collapse of a giant gas and dust cloud about 4.6 billion years ago. As the cloud collapsed and spun faster, the heavier elements collected in the center to form the inner terrestrial planets, while the outer parts formed the outer gaseous jovian planets. Over time, small particles collided and merged to form larger bodies called planetesimals, which eventually formed the planets.

Solar System
The Solar System consists of the Sun and objects that orbit it, including 8 planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets. The inner Solar System contains terrestrial planets like Earth that are composed of rock and metals. The outer Solar System contains gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn that account for most of the mass. Objects follow elliptical orbits around the Sun, with closer objects moving faster according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. The Solar System is believed to have formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud.

It discusses that galaxy clusters form hierarchically through gravitational collapse. The intracluster medium, which makes up most of the baryonic mass, emits X-rays and has been heated to temperatures of millions of degrees. The document reviews properties of the intracluster medium like density, temperature, metallicity, and how they can be measured from X-ray spectra. It also discusses upcoming surveys that will advance the study of galaxy clusters.
Laser trappedmirrorsinspace
Laser trapped mirrors could enable the construction of large, lightweight optical systems in space. A laser traps microscopic particles at the interference fringes created by its reflection between two deflectors, arranging the particles into a reflective mirror surface. Key challenges include maintaining the trap against particle evaporation from infrared background photons and understanding optical binding forces between particles. Further experiments and simulations are needed to evaluate particle design, collective behavior, trap loading and damping mechanisms to develop this technology.

This document summarizes research on the effects of strain on the lattice thermal conductivity in silicon thin films using first-principles calculations and solving the phonon Boltzmann transport equation. The key findings are:
1) Thermal conductivity in the in-plane [100] direction has a weaker dependence on strain than the cross-plane [001] direction.
2) Thermal conductivity increases with compressive strain and decreases with tensile strain in the [001] direction due to changes in phonon velocities.
3) For a 20nm thin film, boundary scattering does not dominate thermal transport in the in-plane [100] direction, and strain has a small effect on thermal conductivity in this direction.

Pulsed Laser Ablation
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) involves using laser pulses to ablate material from a target that is deposited as a thin film on a substrate. PLD offers advantages like the ability to deposit complex oxide materials with precise stoichiometry. The first PLD system successfully deposited a high-temperature superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 thin film. PLD works by ablating material from a target using high-energy laser pulses to create a plasma plume that deposits on the substrate surface. Factors like laser wavelength and background gas are known to affect the film growth process in PLD. While PLD provides good control over film composition and properties, scaling it for large area deposition remains a challenge due to
X RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY.pdf
X-ray crystallography uses diffraction of X-rays by the periodic crystal structure of molecules to determine their structure. Crystals of the molecule are bombarded with X-rays, which produce a diffraction pattern. Analysis of this pattern reveals the location of atoms within the crystal unit cell. Researchers first crystallize molecules and collect diffraction data, then use computers to process the data and deduce the molecular structure. This technique has provided insights into materials science, biology, and medicine by revealing atomic-scale structures.

- Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short, intense radio pulses that last about 1 millisecond. One FRB source produced multiple outbursts over several years.
- The leading model is that FRBs originate from young, highly magnetic neutron stars called magnetars. Charged particles are accelerated by magnetic reconnection, producing coherent curvature radiation observed as FRBs.
- FRBs provide insights into neutron star physics and energetic processes in magnetar magnetospheres. Predictions include observing FRB-like bursts at higher frequencies.
M2 sputtering
1. The document summarizes a study on the electronic sputtering of fullerene films under bombardment by energetic ions.
2. The study examined the effect of ion velocity, charge state, and substrate on the sputtering yield. It found that lower ion velocities and glass substrates resulted in higher sputtering yields.
3. The sputtering is attributed to a thermal spike mechanism where the excitation energy of bombarded electrons is coupled to the lattice, generating a rapid thermal spike that causes vaporization within a nanodimensional zone and material release from the surface.
The Estimation of Enhanced Outcoupling for OLEDs with Isotropically Scatterin...
This manuscript uses classical geometrical optics and the convergence of an infinite Fourier series to derive a mathematical equation for the out-coupling efficiency of classical scattering-enhanced OLEDs. Several simple assumptions are made regarding how light interacts with scattering media. It describes the extent of efficiency improvement in terms of nanoparticle properties and the revised out-coupling efficiency limitation. The albedo is the ratio of scattering to extinction cross-sections, where extinction is scattering plus absorption. Albedo indicates how much of the light that interacts with a particle is re-emitted or retained to move around the OLED device further. An estimation of the out-coupling efficiency observed when nanoparticles of various albedo values are incorporated into the simplified OLED structure is performed.
antigravity free energy
This document summarizes an experiment that observed a weak gravitational shielding effect using a composite YBa2Cu3O7-x superconductor disk below 70K. When the disk was levitated and rotated at speeds up to 5000 rpm using electromagnetic fields, samples placed above it showed weight losses of up to 0.5% in stationary conditions and up to 2.1% at maximum rotation. Several checks were performed to rule out non-gravitational sources of error, providing evidence that a gravitational effect was observed.

Too much pasta_for_pulsars_to_spin_down
This document summarizes a study investigating why no isolated X-ray pulsars have been observed with spin periods longer than 12 seconds. The researchers suggest this is due to a highly resistive layer in the inner crust of neutron stars, which is expected to be in a state called "nuclear pasta". Nuclear pasta has an irregular structure that increases electrical resistivity, limiting the spin-down of pulsars. Modeling the long-term magnetic field evolution incorporating a resistive nuclear pasta layer successfully reproduced the observed 12 second period limit. The results provide the first potential observational evidence for the existence of nuclear pasta in neutron star crusts.

Andy Stine's Thesis--Neutron Star Models
This document is Andrew Stine's thesis on modeling the structure of neutron stars through equations of state. It begins with an overview of neutron star formation and composition, outlining the different layers from the atmosphere to the core. It then discusses the history and theory behind different equations of state used to model neutron star interiors. The document presents Stine's 1D model of neutron stars using two equations of state, and includes the Python code and results. The model matches previous predictions for the maximum mass of neutron stars using these equations of state.
Surface and bulk
This document provides an overview of surfaces and their characterization. It discusses that surfaces have different geometric and electronic structures than bulk materials. Studying surfaces is important for gas-solid and liquid-solid interactions like catalysis. Surfaces are also difficult to study due to their low concentration and need for ultra-high vacuum. Techniques for preparing clean surfaces include cleavage, heating, chemical cleaning, and ion bombardment. Surface structure is described using Miller indices and lattice vectors. The creation of surfaces requires energy in the form of surface free energy due to broken bonds at the surface. Common surface energies are provided for some metals.
Scanning Tunneling Microscope
The document discusses the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), which uses quantum tunneling to produce atomic-scale images of surfaces. Key points:
- The STM was invented in 1981 and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. It allows visualization of individual atoms and manipulation of single atoms.
- The STM works by scanning a sharp conductive tip very close to a sample surface. A bias voltage causes electrons to tunnel between tip and surface, producing a current that varies with atomic topography.
- STM can image in various environments, with resolutions down to 0.1 nm laterally and 0.01 nm vertically. It has found many uses including atomic manipulation and etching.
Production of radio nuclides + Production of Short-Lived Radionuclide
This document discusses the production of radio nuclides used in nuclear medicine. It describes three main methods: reactor produced, accelerator/cyclotron produced, and fission produced. Reactor produced nuclides are made by neutron capture in reactors. Cyclotron produced nuclides are made by bombarding stable nuclides with protons, deuterons, helium-3, or helium-4 particles. Fission produced nuclides come from fission of heavier elements like uranium. The document also discusses radio nuclide generators, which allow production of short-lived daughters from long-lived parents to overcome transportation issues for short-lived isotopes.

Unification theory with no extra dimensions. The first part unifies the strong nuclear force with the gravitational force in a mathematical way; the quantum vacuum is treated as a deformable system by the strong nuclear force. The second part unifies the nuclear force with the quantum vacuum in a hypothetical structure; the quantum vacuum is treated as a supersymmetric and metastable system with properties related to the different types of particles’ motion.

Islam in arabic
The document discusses the attitude of Muslims towards only reading the Quran in Arabic without understanding the language. It notes an interaction where an elderly man encouraged the author to read the Quran in Arabic rather than English, claiming it was the language of God and the prophets. However, the author questions what good reciting in an unfamiliar language does if one does not comprehend the meaning. The document argues that Islam should not be a mystery but understandable to all, and that it is better to read even one verse in a understood language than to recite the entire Quran without comprehension. Muslims are urged to follow Islam through a language they understand rather than getting stuck on only using Arabic.
Supernova
The document discusses supernovae, which occur when high mass stars reach the end of their life. A supernova releases more energy than the star produced over its entire lifetime through nuclear fusion. This energy release allows for the creation of elements heavier than iron. The calculations show that a 10 solar mass star would produce enough energy over its lifetime to power a supernova explosion, with the bulk of energy released being carried away by neutrinos. Neutrinos play a key role in depositing energy into the star's envelope during a supernova.
Galilei galilei
Galileo Galilei was a renowned Italian scientist born on February 15, 1564 who made immense contributions to the field of physics and astronomy despite facing oppression from the Catholic Church. Some of his most significant discoveries included observing the phases of Venus, the mountains and craters on the moon, and four of Jupiter's moons. While the Church forced him to accept their geocentric view of the universe, his model of a heliocentric solar system was proven correct. To this day, he is remembered as a scientific hero and prophet who expanded human understanding of the natural world through mathematics and observation.
I am an_astronomer
The document discusses the author's passion for astronomy and their perspective as an astronomer. They describe how gazing at the night sky can be both mesmerizing yet disorienting for a common person, but astronomers find patterns and beauty in the apparent randomness. The author feels both insignificant yet profoundly significant when contemplating humanity's role in studying the vast cosmos. While some question the practical applications and funding of astronomy, the author argues it was born from curiosity to understand the heavens and continues to quench humanity's thirst for knowledge, as other once theoretical fields have revolutionized society. For the author, exploring the mechanisms that drive the universe through astronomy provides the highest pleasure.
Orbital parameters of asteroids using analytical propagation
The document discusses generating ephemerides for asteroids using analytical propagation methods. It begins by introducing the objectives, various coordinate systems, and complexities in determining orbital motion. It then covers the equations of motion for two-body motion and conic orbits. The document describes how to generate ephemerides using analytical techniques by calculating orbital element transformations between time steps. Comparisons to JPL ephemerides for Pallas show errors on the order of 10^-1 to 10^-2 in position and velocity components. While computationally simpler, the two-body model results in significant absolute errors, requiring more detailed force models for precision.
Minor bodies of the solar system: Comets and their importance
This document provides an overview of comets and their importance. It begins with a brief introduction describing comets as "dirty balls of ice" with tails that form when they pass by the sun. It then discusses the historical observations of comets and modern scientific study of their structure and composition. The document outlines that comets are composed of an icy nucleus surrounded by a coma of gas and dust, and that studying their composition provides insights into the early solar system. It concludes by summarizing several past and present space missions that have visited and imaged comets to learn more about their properties.
INCIDENCE OF ABSORPTION AT THE INTERFACE OF GALAXIES AND IGM
1. The document analyzes data from the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope to study the incidence of absorption at the interface between galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM).
2. Measurements of parameters like equivalent width and Doppler width from absorption line profiles are used to determine properties of the IGM like temperature and metallicity.
3. The analysis finds an average IGM temperature of 5 x 10^4 K and metallicity around 1/10 of solar, and suggests the IGM surrounding galaxies may have a patchy distribution based on a lack of correlation between equivalent width and impact parameter.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Accretion process around compact objects
- 1. Accretion process around compact objects Ramiz Ahmad
- 2. Plan of the talk: 1. General Picture. 2. Theory of disk accretion at subcritical regime. 3. Influence of the hard radiation of the black hole on the outer part of the disk and visible component. 4. Supercritical regime of disk accretion. 5. Summary.
- 3. The General Picture: 1. Up to 50% of the stars are in binary system => No. of binary system including a black hole may be of the order of 106-108. 2. The rate of mass loss depends upon the type of star. 3. In binary systems, an additional strong matter outflow connected with Roch limit surface is possible. 4. Consequence of presence of black hole in such binaries!
- 4. Because of friction the material looses the energy and spirals in. The total energy released and the spectrum of the outgoing radiation are determined mainly by the rate of accretion. At subcritical fluxes 10-12-10-10 M0/year the luminosity of the disk is of the order of 1034-1036 erg/sec and the maximal temperature is of the order of TS =3x105-106 K in the inner region of the disk where most of the energy is produced. For the case of disk accretion there is a weak dependence of the radiation intensity on the frequency which can be given as ν -1- +1/3. In the case of neutron star without a magnetic field, the disk extends to the surface of the star which gives rise to its own peculiarities.
- 6. Theory of disk accretion at subcritical regime : •All calculations are done using Newtonian mechanics. •In the calculations, it is assumed that L0 = 0.06c2 •The radius R0= 3Rg is taken as the inner boundary of the disk.
- 7. Mechanisms of Angular Momentum transfer 1. Tangential stresses between adjacent layers. 2. Turbulence. 3. Molecular and radiative viscosity.
