Electromagnetic Radiation From Temporal Variations In Space-Time And Progenitors Of Gamma Ray Burst And Millisecond Pulsars, Preston Jones Nov 2007

Electromagnetic Radiation From Temporal Variations In Space-Time And Progenitors Of Gamma Ray Burst And Millisecond Pulsars, Preston Jones

Publications

A time varying space–time metric is shown to be a source of electromagnetic radiation even in the absence of charge sources. The post-Newtonian approximation is used as a realistic model of the connection between the space–time metric and a time-varying gravitational potential. Rapid temporal variations in the metric from the coalescence of relativistic stars are shown to be likely progenitors of gamma ray burst and millisecond pulsars.


A Dyad Theory Of Hydrodynamics And Electrodynamics, Preston Jones Jan 2007

A Dyad Theory Of Hydrodynamics And Electrodynamics, Preston Jones

Publications

The dyadic calculus is developed in a form suitable for the description of physical relations in curved space. The 4-space equations of hydrodynamics and electrodynamics are constructed using this dyadic calculus. As a demonstration of the relationship between gravity and electrodynamics a time varying metric is shown to generate electromagnetic radiation.
