We have analyzed a large sample of FSRQs detected by Fermi LAT. Our main intents are to investigate the relations between bulk Lorentz factor and black hole mass, between bulk Lorentz factor and Eddington ratio. Using archive and calculation, we obtained the distributions of bulk Lorentz factor, black hole mass and Eddington ratio. After excluding redshift effect, there is still significant correlation between bulk Lorentz factor and black hole mass, but not correlation between bulk Lorentz factor and Eddington ratio, which suggest that faster jets have a close relation with more massive black holes, and the Blandford–Znajek (BZ) mechanism may dominate over the Blandford–Payne (BP) mechanism for Fermi FSRQs. 相似文献

It is confirmed that the creation of stars in spiral (and perhaps also Irri) galaxies requires a physical parameter (X factor) additional to gas density. Consequently theX factor is an essential feature of stellar patterns and perhaps of stellar systems (spiral and other disk and spheroidal systems, globular clusters) and may be the key to the origin of the few, yet remarkably varied Hubble system of galaxies.
- It is shown that theX factor is organized over the whole galaxy and is a function of azimuth φ as well as radiusr. Only a galaxy-wide force field seems capable of explaining such anX(r, φ) factor either magnetic or gravitational in origin.
- If gravitational in origin, theX factor must be a shock wave, but a survey of observations in eight galaxies, including our own, shows no large-scale shocks associated with star creation. This provides further strong evidence against the density-shock theory of twin spiral arms.
- It is confirmed that galaxies of different Hubble types did not evolve from one another, so that each protogalaxy must possess a genetic factor which predetermines its evolution, and in particular its stellar systems. Thus the protogalactic genetic factor may be identical with theX factor.
- The case for a primordial magnetic field is strengthened, and it is shown that in our Galaxy and some others the field must be generally oblique to the disk. Such a field can explain theX(r, φ) factor in terms of a magneto-gravitational mechanism of gas clumping.
- An earlier, hydromagnetic theory of the Hubble types and of radio galaxies is extended by including theX factor to explain the various stellar systems observed in spiral, elliptical, lenticular and irregular galaxies.

Giant pulses have been detected from the pulsar PSR B0031-07. A pulse with an intensity higher than that of the average pulse by a factor of 50 or more is encountered approximately once per 300 observed periods. The peak flux density of the strongest pulse was 530 Jy, which is a factor of 120 higher than the peak flux density of the average pulse. The giant pulses are a factor of 20 narrower than the integrated profile and are clustered about its center. 相似文献

Another explorative study of the use of factor analysis in meteorite geochemistry has been made. Forty-two major and trace elements were sought from analyses of 80 stony meteorites in recent articles. Incomplete data reduced the matrix to 30 elements in 55 stones. Missing data were substituted by mean values in the groups CC, (E+H+L+LL) and ACH (13, 28, 14 individuals, respectively): the effect of these substitutions was tested empirically. R-mode analysis with varimax rotation was carried out on these three sub-sets and on the whole set: interpretation focused on factor loadings and scores. Results on the three sub-sets gave little information of geochemical value, although the largest achondrite factor (lithophile elements) permits discrimination of eucrites, aubrites, diogenites and howardites. Analysis of all 55 meteorites showed the variance to be dominated by 1, a refractory-lithophile(Al, Mg, Ca, Zr, Sc, U, Th, La, Eu, Yb) factor, and 2, a volatile-chalcophile (Zn, Te, Cd, Bi, Tl) factor. Factor (1) scores will discriminate chondrites from achondrites: factor (2) scores delineate the compositional trend CC1, CC2, CC3, (E+H+L+LL) except for enstatite chondrites Indarch, Abee which fall with CC1. Further progress would need metal, sulphide and other mineral percentages for each meteorite. 相似文献

The study of greybody factor helps us to understand the quantum nature of the black hole. Gravitational potentials and bounds on the greybody factors for some well known black holes are developed and we investigate the influence of Born–Infeld and massive gravity parameters on them. It is observed that greybody factor bounds depend on the shape of effective potential. For higher values of effective potential, it becomes difficult for the waves to transmit and hence reduces the greybody factor bounds. It is also worthwhile to mention here that charge works as barrier and cosmological constant increases the emission rate of Hawking radiation. It is also observed that the energy of emitted particles increases which results in the enhancement of the greybody factor bound. We also discuss the relationship of transmission probability and reflection probability. 相似文献

We detected giant pulses from the pulsar PSR B1112+50. A pulse with an intensity that is a factor of 30 or more higher than the intensity of the average pulse is encountered approximately once in 150 observed pulses. The peak flux density of the strongest pulse is about 180 Jy. This value is a factor of 80 higher than the peak flux density of the average pulse. The giant pulses are narrower than the average profile by approximately a factor of 5 and they cluster about the center of the average profile. 相似文献

We present a GPU accelerated CUDA-C implementation of the Barnes Hut (BH) tree code for calculating the gravitational potential on octree adaptive meshes. The tree code algorithm is implemented within the FLASH4 adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) code framework and therefore fully MPI parallel. We describe the algorithm and present test results that demonstrate its accuracy and performance in comparison to the algorithms available in the current FLASH4 version. We use a MacLaurin spheroid to test the accuracy of our new implementation and use spherical, collapsing cloud cores with effective AMR to carry out performance tests also in comparison with previous gravity solvers. Depending on the setup and the GPU/CPU ratio, we find a speedup for the gravity unit of at least a factor of 3 and up to 60 in comparison to the gravity solvers implemented in the FLASH4 code. We find an overall speedup factor for full simulations of at least factor 1.6 up to a factor of 10. 相似文献

Giant pulses (GPs) have been detected from the pulsar PSR B0656 + 14. A pulse that is more intense than the average pulse by a factor of 120 is encountered approximately once in 3000 observed periods of the pulsar. The peak flux density of the strongest pulse, 120 Jy, is a factor of 630 higher than that of the average pulse. The GP energy exceeds the energy of the average pulse by up to a factor of 110, which is comparable to that for other known pulsars with GPs, including the Crab pulsar and the millisecond pulsar PSR B1937+21. The giant pulses are a factor of ～6 narrower than the average pulse and are clustered at the head of the average pulse. PSR B0656+14 along with PSR B0031-07, PSR B1112+50, and PSR J1752+2359 belong to a distinctive group of pulsars in which GPs have been detected without any extremely strong magnetic field on the light cylinder. 相似文献

The problem of comparing laboratory spectra of sulfur-containing binary mixtures with the spectrum of Io is discussed. For the satellite, the observable is the geometric albedo as a function of wavelength, whereas in the laboratory one often measures some other type of albedo. In a previous paper we demonstrated that for pure sulfur the multiplicative factor which converts the laboratory albedos to geometric albedos can be strongly wavelength dependent. The present paper demonstrates that this is also true for binary sulfur-containing mixtures. Furthermore, there is no universal conversion factor applicable to all binary mixtures, nor can the factor be interpolated for a particular mixture from the conversion factors of the two end members. The conversion factor is a function not only of the specific composition of a binary mixture, but of the relative particle size distributions of the two components, and must be measured specifically for each individual sample if a quantitative comparison between a laboratory sample and Io's surface is desired. 相似文献

A reliable estimate of the molecular gas content in galaxies plays a crucial role in determining their dynamical and star-forming properties. However, H2 , the dominant molecular species, is difficult to observe directly, particularly in the regions where most molecular gas is thought to reside. Its mass is therefore commonly inferred by assuming a direct proportionality with the integrated intensity of the 12 CO( J = 1 → 0) emission line, using a CO-to-H2 conversion factor, X . Although a canonical value for X is used extensively in such estimates, there is increasing evidence, both theoretical and observational, that the conversion factor may vary by over an order of magnitude under conditions different from those of the local neighbourhood. In an effort to understand the influence of changing environmental conditions on the conversion factor, we derive theoretical estimates of X for a wide range of physical parameters using a photon-dominated region (PDR) time-dependent chemical model, benchmarking key results against those of an independent PDR code to ensure reliability. Based on these results, the sensitivity of the X factor to change in each physical parameter is interpreted in terms of the chemistry and physical processes within the cloud. In addition to confirming previous observationally derived trends, we find that the time-dependence of the chemistry, often neglected in such models, has a considerable influence on the value of the conversion factor. 相似文献

The aim of this research is to show the significant effects of albedo on the existence of out-of-plane equilibria in the elliptic restricted three-body problem under an oblate primary model. We computed out-of-plane equilibria numerically and graphically for different values of the parameters μ, α, e, k and σ where μ, α, e, k and σ are mass parameter, albedo factor, eccentricity, ratio of the luminosity of smaller primary to luminosity of bigger primary considered as constant and oblateness factor due to smaller primary, respectively. Further, we examined the stability of out-of-plane equilibria and found that these equilibria are unstable in linear sense for all parameters μ, α, e, k and σ. Finally, the three-dimensional periodic orbits are analyzed for different values of albedo factor α and oblateness factor σ. 相似文献

In many GRB inner engine models the highly relativistic GRB jets are engulfed by slower moving matter. This could result in different beaming for the prompt γ-ray emission and for the lower energy afterglow. In this case we should expect that some observer will see on-axis orphan afterglows: X-ray, optical and radio afterglows within the initial relativistic ejecta with no preceding GRB; the prompt γ-ray emission is pointing elsewhere. We show that the observations of the WFC on BeppoSAX constrain with high certainty the prompt X-ray beaming factor to be less than twice the prompt γ-ray beaming. The results of Ariel 5 are consistent with this interpretation. The RASS from ROSAT and HEAO-1 constrain the X-ray beaming factor at 400 and 20 min after the burst, respectively, to be comparable and certainly not much larger than the γ-ray beaming factor. There is no direct limit on the optical beaming. However, we show that observations of several months with existing hardware could result in a useful limit on the optical beaming factor of GRB afterglows. 相似文献

S5 2007+777 is a typical BL Lac object with a low peak frequency, and a kpc-scale extended X-ray jet. In the literature, the Doppler factor derived at the X-ray waveband by means of model estimation is about 13.0, then the intrinsic jet scale can reach the order of magnitude of 1 Mpc. In this work, we have studied the radio structure of the jet, the brightness temperature, proper motion and other properties of this source with the collected EVN (European VLBI Network) high-resolution archive data, and the American VLBA (Very Long Baseline Array) 15 GHz observed data, etc. It is found that the jet directions measured at the different wavebands of the VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) are consistent, but slightly different from the direction of the kpc-scale X-ray jet given by the literature and the direction of the VLA (Very Large Array) radio jet, which means that the Doppler brightening effect exists in the jet emission of the source. Both the mean value and median value of the radio Doppler factor of this source estimated from the brightness temperature that measured by the VLBI are 5.0, which is smaller than the Doppler factor at the X-ray waveband given by the literature, but consistent with the Doppler factor at the radio waveband obtained by using the other methods in the literature. Furthermore, by fitting the data observed in multiple epochs, it is found that the various components of the source at the same waveband do not have an evident proper motion in a long epoch, but the proper motion in short epochs exhibits even a super-luminal motion. This may be caused by the transfer of the central position of the component with a low surface brightness. Meanwhile, this also verifies the conclusion that the radio Doppler factor estimated previously is not very large, and smaller than the Doppler factor in the X-ray waveband. By using the obtained radio Doppler factor, it is found that the source has an intrinsic radio jet of rather large scale, which may reach 0.5 Mpc, because the mean value is adopted in this case, thus it indicates that the source also possibly possesses a jet close to the scale of a giant radio galaxy. 相似文献

We carried out the investigation of the properties of features seen within superluminal sources often referred to as components. Our result indicates a fairly strong correlation of r～0.76 between component radial distance L and component size ?. Assumption of simple ballistic motion and free adiabatic expansion, enabled us to use the observed jet component parameters to constrain the Doppler factor, Lorentz factor and the lower limit to the viewing angle with respect to a distant observer. The estimated average Doppler factor, Lorentz factor and viewing angle respectively are 10.3±5.0, 18.3±6.2 and 3.7±2.3 for Γ=4/3; while the values obtained for Γ=5/3 are 12.2±5.9,17.2±5.1 and 2.9±1.6, where Γ is the adiabatic index. The large scatter in our results may be due to the uncertainties introduced by the assumptions made. 相似文献

In this Letter the five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein cosmological model is studied in the presence of a massless scalar field, whose potential has a flat part. By use of the polynomial relation between the two scale factors, inflationary solutions are obtained. The results show that the scale factor corresponding to the extra dimension is either constant or varies inversely as some power of the usual scale factor. 相似文献

Bianchi type I perfect fluid cosmological model is investigated with a variable cosmological term. Einstein’s field equations
are solved for any arbitrary cosmic scale factor. The main result of the study is the expression for cosmological term as
a power law of scale factor. The age of the universe can also be readily calculated. 相似文献

Galactic winds are a key physical mechanism for understanding galaxy formation and evolution, yet empirical and theoretical constraints for the character of winds are limited and discrepant. Recent empirical models find that local star-forming galaxies have a deficit of oxygen that scales with galaxy stellar mass. The oxygen deficit provides unique empirical constraints on the magnitude of mass loss, composition of outflowing material and metal reaccretion onto galaxies. We formulate the oxygen deficit constraints so they may be easily implemented into theoretical models of galaxy evolution. We parameterize an effective metal loading factor which combines the uncertainties of metal outflows and metal reaccretion into a single function of galaxy virial velocity. We determine the effective metal loading factor by forward-fitting the oxygen deficit. The effective metal loading factor we derive has important implications for the implementation of mass loss in models of galaxy evolution. 相似文献

Wave function of the universe in the superstring theory is discussed and using Vilenkin's boundary condition, the probability density of the scale factor a at a given value of the dilaton field, is obtained. It is shown that when the universe spontaneously nucleates, the minimum value of the scale factor of the classical universe is of the order of the Planck length, that is, quantum effects can prevent the universe from collapsing to a single point. 相似文献

We study in a systematic way the quality factor of the lower and upper kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in a sample of low-luminosity neutron star X-ray binaries, showing both QPOs varying over a wide frequency range. The sample includes 4U 1636−536, 4U 1608−522, 4U 1735−44, 4U 1728−34, 4U 1820−303 and 4U 0614+09. We find that all sources except 4U 0614+09 show evidence of a drop in the quality factor of their lower kHz QPOs at high frequency. For 4U 0614+09 only the rising part of the quality factor versus frequency curve has been sampled so far. At the same time, in all sources but 4U 1728−34, the quality factor of the upper kHz QPO increases all the way to the highest detectable frequencies. We show that the high-frequency behaviours of both the lower and the upper kHz QPO quality factors are consistent with what is expected if the drop is produced by the approach of an active oscillating region to the innermost stable circular orbit: the existence of which is a key feature of general relativity in the strong field regime. Within this interpretation, our results imply gravitational masses around 2 M⊙ for the neutron stars in those systems. 相似文献
