Variability In X-Ray Line Ratios In Helium-Like Ions Of Massive Stars: The Radiation-Driven Case., K. Hole, Richard Ignace
Variability In X-Ray Line Ratios In Helium-Like Ions Of Massive Stars: The Radiation-Driven Case., K. Hole, Richard Ignace
ETSU Faculty Works
Line ratios in "fir" triplets of helium-like ions have proven to be a powerful diagnostic of conditions in X-ray emitting gas surrounding massive stars. Recent observations indicate that these ratios can be variable with time. The possible causes of variation in line ratios are limited: changes in the radiation field or changes in density, and changes in mass-loss or geometry. In this paper, we investigate the ability of changes in the radiation field to induce variability in the ratio R=f/i. To isolate the radiative effect, we use a heuristic model of temperature and radius changes in variable stars in the …
Vacuum, Space-Time, Matter And The Models Of Smarandache Geometry, Florentin Smarandache, Hu Chang-Wei
Vacuum, Space-Time, Matter And The Models Of Smarandache Geometry, Florentin Smarandache, Hu Chang-Wei
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
Many fundamental concepts in physics remain unsolved: What is time? Is it pure relative? What is the vacuum? Is it void space or special medium? What is mass? Can it be created? I believe that physicists have not got definite answers for the above questions. Isaac Newton said: I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. For instance, we still do not know what the clear definition of time …
Magnetic Fields And Other Physical Conditions In The Interstellar Medium, Furea Kiuchi
Magnetic Fields And Other Physical Conditions In The Interstellar Medium, Furea Kiuchi
Theses and Dissertations--Physics and Astronomy
This document consists of two very different projects but the common thread is in the interest of magnetic fields. It describes the effect of magnetic fields in two Interstellar Medium regions in the Galaxy. Electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces in physics. It is not known where magnetic field has initially risen in the Universe, but what is certain is that it has significant effect in the dynamics of star formation and galaxy formation. The studies aim to better understand the effects of field in an active star forming region and in the halo of the Galaxy. …
Zeeman Effect Studies Of Magnetic Fields In The Milky Way, Kristen Lynn Thompson
Zeeman Effect Studies Of Magnetic Fields In The Milky Way, Kristen Lynn Thompson
Theses and Dissertations--Physics and Astronomy
The interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy, and of others, is pervaded by ultra low-density gas and dust, as well as magnetic fields. Embedded magnetic fields have been known to play an important role in the structure and dynamics of the ISM. However, the ability to accurately quantify these fields has plagued astronomers for many decades. Unfortunately, the experimental techniques for measuring the strength and direction of magnetic fields are few, and they are observationally challenging. The only direct method of measuring the magnetic field is through the Zeeman effect.
The goal of this dissertation is to expand upon the …
