The Einstein static model of the universe as a whole is considered. The Hubble law is explained by the Doppler effect due
to the downward inertial acceleration along a certain radius experienced by an observer in the center of the universe, with
the total acceleration over all radii being equal zero. Evolution of the universe is introduced through the wave function
of the universe dependent on time. This yields the energy density of the universe hence the temperature of the universe dependent
on time. On the contrary, the energy, forth and intensity of radiation are fixed with time that allows to develop the Newtonian
physics in the whole universe. The time-temperature relation of the universe in the model considered is the same as in the
radiation dominated universe in the Friedmann model that allows to explain primordial nucleosynthesis as it is in the standard
scenario. The modern parameters of the universe in the model considered are consistent with the observations. 相似文献

Plasma science is rich in distinguishable scales ranging from the atomic to the galactic to the meta-galactic, i.e., themesoscale. Thus plasma science has an important contribution to make in understanding the connection between microscopic and macroscopic phenomena. Plasma is a system composed of a large number of particles which interact primarily, but not exclusively, through the electromagnetic field. The problem of understanding the linkages and couplings in multi-scale processes is a frontier problem of modern science involving fields as diverse as plasma phenomena in the laboratory to galactic dynamics.Unlike the first three states of matter, plasma, often called the fourth state of matter, involves the mesoscale and its interdisciplinary founding have drawn upon various subfields of physics including engineering, astronomy, and chemistry. Basic plasma research is now posed to provide, with major developments in instrumentation and large-scale computational resources, fundamental insights into the properties of matter on scales ranging from the atomic to the galactic. In all cases, these are treated as mesoscale systems. Thus, basic plasma research, when applied to the study of astrophysical and space plasmas, recognizes that the behavior of the near-earth plasma environment may depend to some extent on the behavior of the stellar plasma, that may in turn be governed by galactic plasmas. However, unlike laboratory plasmas, astrophysical plasmas will forever be inaccessible to in situ observation. The inability to test concepts and theories of large-scale plasmas leaves only virtual testing as a means to understand the universe. Advances in in computer technology and the capability of performing physics first principles, fully three-dimensional, particle-in-cell simulations, are making virtual testing a viable alternative to verify our predictions about the far universe.The first part of this paper explores the dynamical and fluid properties of the plasma state, plasma kinetics, and the radiation emitted from plasmas. The second part of this paper outlines the formulation for the particle-in-cell simulation of astrophysical plasmas and advances in simulational techniques and algorithms, as-well-as the advances that may be expected as the computational resource grows to petaflop speed/memory capabilities.Dedicated to the memories of Hannes Alfvén and Oscar Buneman; Founders of the Subject. 相似文献

The present-day large increase of the amount of data relevant to cosmology, as well as their increasing accuracy, leads to the idea that the determination of cosmological parameters has been achieved with a rather good precision, may be of the order of 10%. There is a large consensus around the so-called concordance model. Indeed this model does fit an impressive set of independent data, the most impressives been: CMB Cl curve, most current matter density estimations, Hubble constant estimation from HST, apparent acceleration of the Universe, good matching of the power spectrum of matter fluctuations. However, the necessary introduction of a non zero cosmological constant is an extraordinary new mystery for physics, or more exactly the come back of one of the ghost of modern physics since its introduction by Einstein. Here, I would like to emphasize that some results are established beyond reasonable doubt, like the (nearly) flatness of the universe and the existence of a dark non-baryonic component of the Universe. But also that the evidence for a positive cosmological constant may not be as strong as needed for its existence to be considered as established beyond doubt. In this respect, I will argue that an Einstein-De Sitter universe might still be a viable option. Some observations do not fit the concordance picture. I discuss several of the claimed observational evidences supporting the concordance model and will focus more specifically on the observational properties of clusters which offer powerful constraints on various quantities of cosmological interest. They are particularly interesting in constraining the cosmological density parameter, nicely complementing the CMB result, which by its own does not request a non vanishing cosmological constant, contrary to what is sometimes claimed. Early, local, estimations based on the M/L ratio are now superseded by new tests that have been proposed during the last ten years which are globalin nature. Here, I will briefly discuss three of them: 1) the evolution of the abundance of clusters with redshift 2) the baryon fraction measured in local clusters 3) apparent evolution of the baryon fraction with redshift. I will show that these three independent tests lead to high matter density for the Universe in the range 0.6 — 1. I therefore conclude that the dominance of vacuum to the various density contributions to the Universeis presently a fascinating possibility, but it is still premature to consider it as an established scientific fact. 相似文献

We consider the BSBM(Bekenstein, Sandvik, Barrow and Magueijo) cosmological model in the presence of tachyon potential with the aim of studying the stability of the model and test it against observations. The phase space analysis shows that from fourteen critical points that represent the state of the universe, only one is stable.With a small perturbation, the universe transits from a state of unstable deceleration to stable acceleration. The stability analysis combined with the best fitting process imposes constraints on the cosmological parameters that are in agreement with observation. In the BSBM theory, the variation of fundamental constants is driven from variation of a scalar field. The tachyonic scalar field, responsible for both variation of fundamental constants and universal acceleration, is reconstructed. 相似文献

Taking up four model universes we study the behaviour and contribution of dark energy to the accelerated expansion of the universe, in the modified scale covariant theory of gravitation. Here, it is seen that though this modified theory may be a cause of the accelerated expansion it cannot totally outcast the contribution of dark energy in causing the accelerated expansion. In one case the dark energy is found to be the sole cause of the accelerated expansion. The dark energy contained in these models come out to be of the ΛCDM type and quintessence type comparable to the modern observations. Some of the models originated with a big bang, the dark energy being prevalent inside the universe before the evolution of this era. One of the models predicts big rip singularity, though at a very distant future. It is interestingly found that the interaction between the dark energy and the other part of the universe containing different matters is enticed and enhanced by the gauge function ϕ(t) here. 相似文献

Studying relativistic compact objects is important in modern astrophysics to understand several astrophysical issues. It is therefore natural to ask for an internal structure and physical properties of specific classes of compact stars from astrophysical observations. We obtain a class of new relativistic solutions with anisotropic distribution of matter for compact stars. More specifically, stellar models, described by an anisotropic fluid, establishing a relation between metric potentials and generating a specific form of mass function, are explicitly constructed within the framework of General Relativity. New solutions can be used to model compact objects, which adequately describe compact strange star candidates like SMC X-1, Her X-1 and 4U 1538-52, with observational data taken from Gangopadhyay et al. (Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 431:3216, 2013). As a possible astrophysical application the obtained solutions could explain the physics of selfgravitating objects, and might be useful for strong-field regimes where data are currently inadequate. 相似文献

We summarize the science opportunity, design elements, current and projected partner observatories, and anticipated science returns of the Astrophysical Multimessenger Observatory Network (AMON). AMON will link multiple current and future high-energy, multimessenger, and follow-up observatories together into a single network, enabling near real-time coincidence searches for multimessenger astrophysical transients and their electromagnetic counterparts. Candidate and high-confidence multimessenger transient events will be identified, characterized, and distributed as AMON alerts within the network and to interested external observers, leading to follow-up observations across the electromagnetic spectrum. In this way, AMON aims to evoke the discovery of multimessenger transients from within observatory subthreshold data streams and facilitate the exploitation of these transients for purposes of astronomy and fundamental physics. As a central hub of global multimessenger science, AMON will also enable cross-collaboration analyses of archival datasets in search of rare or exotic astrophysical phenomena. 相似文献

Recently, Zhang slightly modified the standard big bang theory and developed a new cosmological model called black hole universe, which is consistent with Mach’s principle, governed by Einstein’s general theory of relativity, and able to explain all observations of the universe. Previous studies accounted for the origin, structure, evolution, expansion, and cosmic microwave background radiation of the black hole universe, which grew from a star-like black hole with several solar masses through a supermassive black hole with billions of solar masses to the present state with hundred billion-trillions of solar masses by accreting ambient matter and merging with other black holes. This paper investigates acceleration of the black hole universe and provides an alternative explanation for the redshift and luminosity distance measurements of type Ia supernovae. The results indicate that the black hole universe accelerates its expansion when it accretes the ambient matter in an increasing rate. In other words, i.e., when the second-order derivative of the mass of the black hole universe with respect to the time is positive $\ddot{M}(t) > 0$ . For a constant deceleration parameter $q = -M(t) \ddot{M}(t)/\dot{M}(t) \sim-0.6$ , we can perfectly explain the type Ia supernova measurements with the reduced chi-square to be very close to unity, χ red～1.0012. The expansion and acceleration of black hole universe are driven by external energy. 相似文献

The Einstein static model of the universe as a whole is considered in Euclidean space and absolute time of a privileged reference
frame. The universe as a whole is stable that specifies observers at rest relative to the global space of the universe. An
observer in the centre of the universe is assumed to experience downward inertial acceleration along a certain radius due
to the kinetic energy of the universe, with the total acceleration over all radii being equal zero. This yields the Doppler
effect for the photon coming from the distant source that may explain the Hubble law in the static universe. The predictions
of the model are qualitatively in agreement with the observations in the cosmological tests of a standard candle and a standard
rod. Explanation of stretching of the light curve of SN Ia is proposed within the model considered. 相似文献

The acceleration of the expansion of the Universe which has been identified in recent years has deep connections with some of the most central issues in fundamental physics. At present, the most plausible explanation is some form of vacuum energy. The puzzle of vacuum energy is a central question which lies at the interface between quantum theory and general relativity. Solving it will presumably require to construct a quantum theory of gravity and a correspondingly consistent picture of spacetime. To account for the acceleration of the expansion, one may also think of more dynamical forms of energy, what is known as dark energy, or modifications of gravity. In what follows, we review the vacuum energy problem as well as the basic models for dark energy or modification of gravity. We emphasize the conceptual aspects rather than the techniques involved. We also discuss the difficulties encountered in each approach. This review is intended for astrophysicists or physicists not specialized in particle physics, who are interested in apprehending the issues at stake in fundamental physics. 相似文献

The absence of other viable momentum sources for collimated flows leads to the likelihood that magnetic fields play a fundamental
role in jet launch and/or collimation in astrophysical jets. To best understand the physics of jets, it is useful to distinguish
between the launch region where the jet is accelerated and the larger scales where the jet propagates as a collimated structure.
Observations presently resolve jet propagation, but not the launch region. Simulations typically probe the launch and propagation
regions separately, but not both together. Here, I IDentify some of the physics of jet launch vs. propagation and what laboratory
jet experiments to date have probed. Reproducing an astrophysical jet in the lab is unrealistic, so maximizing the benefit
of the experiments requires clarifying the astrophysical connection. 相似文献

Particle acceleration at plasma shocks appears to be ubiquitous in the universe, spanning systems in the heliosphere, supernova
remnants, and relativistic jets in distant active galaxies and gamma-ray bursts. This review addresses some of the key issues
for shock acceleration theory that require resolution in order to propel our understanding of particle energization in astrophysical
environments. These include magnetic field amplification in shock ramps, the non-linear hydrodynamic interplay between thermal
ions and their extremely energetic counterparts possessing ultrarelativistic energies, and the ability to inject and accelerate
electrons in both non-relativistic and relativistic shocks. Recent observational developments that impact these issues are
summarized. While these topics are currently being probed by astrophysicists using numerical simulations, they are also ripe
for investigation in laboratory experiments, which potentially can provide valuable insights into the physics of cosmic shocks. 相似文献

Exploration of the X-ray sky has established X-ray astronomy as a fundamental astrophysical discipline. While our knowledge of the sky below 10?keV has increased dramatically (??8 orders of magnitude) by use of grazing incidence optics, we still await a similar improvement above 10?keV, where to date only collimated instruments have been used. Also ripe for exploration is the field of X-ray polarimetry, an unused fundamental tool to understand the physics and morphology of X-ray sources. Here we present a novel mission, the New Hard X-ray Mission (NHXM) that brings together for the first time simultaneous high-sensitivity, hard-X-ray imaging, broadband spectroscopy and polarimetry. NHXM will perform groundbreaking science in key scientific areas, including: black hole cosmic evolution, census and accretion physics; acceleration mechanism and non-thermal emission; physics of matter under extreme conditions. NHXM is designed specifically to address these topics via: broad 0.5?C80 (120) keV band for imaging and spectroscopy; 20?arcsec (15 goal) Half Energy Width (HEW) angular resolution at 30?keV; sensitivity limits more than 3 orders of magnitude better than those available in present day instruments; broadband (2?C35?keV) imaging polarimetry. In addition, NHXM has the ability to locate and actively monitor sources in different states of activity and to repoint within 1 to 2?h. This mission has been proposed to ESA in response to the Cosmic Vision M3 call. Its satellite configuration and payload subsystems were studied as part of previous national efforts permitting us to design a mature configuration that is compatible with a VEGA launch already by 2020. 相似文献

Recent detection of the Integrated Sachs–Wolfe (ISW) effect through correlation of the cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropy with traces of large scale structure provided independent evidence for the expansion of the universe being dominated by something other than matter. In these conference proceedings I discuss the extent to which future ISW measurements can help in precision tests of the physics responsible for the observed cosmic acceleration. 相似文献

Keeping apart the problem, whether Modified Newtonian Dynamics [MOND] can replace ‘dark matter’, this letter considers seven different theoretical recurrences of ‘critical acceleration’ of MOND noticed by Sivaram in various physical situations; adds five more observational recurrences to the list; and arrives at a set of laws which seem to be followed by all the systems bound by different fundamental forces; suggesting a clue to unification of fundamental forces. This attempt proposes a general explanation for ‘flattening of galaxies’ rotation-curves’ as well as the ‘expansion of the universe’. 相似文献

In this paper it is suggested that inclusion of mutual gravitational interactions among the particles in the early dense universe
can lead to a ‘pre-big bang’ scenario, with particle masses greater than the Planck mass implying an accelerating phase of
the universe, which then goes into the radiation phase when the masses fall below the Planck mass. The existence of towers
of states of such massive particles (i.e. multiples of Planck mass) as implied in various unified theories, provides rapid
acceleration in the early universe, similar to the usual inflation scenario, but here the expansion rate goes over ‘smoothly’
to the radiation dominated universe when temperature becomes lower than the Planck temperature. 相似文献

Almost all astronomers now believe that the Hubble recession law was directly inferred from astronomical observations. It
turns out that this common belief is completely false. Those models advocating the idea of an expanding universe are ill-founded
on observational grounds. This means that the Hubble recession law is really a working hypothesis. One alternative to the
Hubble recession law is the tired-light hypothesis originally proposed by Zwicky (Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 15:773, 1929). This hypothesis leads to a universe that is an eternal cosmos continually evolving without beginning or end. Such a universe
exists in a dynamical state of virial equilibrium. Observational studies of the redshift-magnitude relation for Type Ia supernovae
in distant galaxies might provide the best observational test for a tired-light cosmology. The present study shows that the
model Hubble diagram for a tired-light cosmology gives good agreement with the supernovae data for redshifts in the range
0<z<2. This observational test of a static cosmology shows that the real universe is not necessarily undergoing expansion nor
acceleration.

We have developed a cosmological model for the Earth rotation and planetary acceleration that gives a good account (data)
of the Earth astronomical parameters. These data can be compared with the ones obtained using space-base telescopes. The expansion
of the universe has shown to have an impact on the rotation of planets, and in particular, the Earth. The expansion of the
universe causes an acceleration that is exhibited by all planets. 相似文献

Lorentz invariance is such an important principle of fundamental physics that it should constantly be subjected to experimental scrutiny as well as theoretical questioning. Distant astrophysical sources of energetic photons with rapid time variations, such as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and gamma-ray bursters (GRBs), provide ideal experimental opportunities for testing Lorentz invariance. The Čerenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is an excellent experimental tool for making such tests with sensitivities exceeding those possible using other detectors. 相似文献

The history of cosmic ray studies can be traced back to the 1910s when Hess and other scientists first discovered them. Cosmic rays are very important laboratories of particle physics, and have led to many important discoveries of fundamental particles, such as the positrons, muons, pions, and a series of strange particles. Cosmic rays are nowadays the key probes of the extremely high-energy physics and dark matter particles. A brief review about the history and recent progresses of direct observations of cosmic rays is presented. In recent years, the new space-borne experiments such as PAMELA and AMS-02, as well as a few of balloon-borne experiments, have measured the energy spectra of cosmic rays very precisely, and revealed several new features/anomalies. Remarkable excesses of positron fraction in the total electron plus positron fluxes have been observed, which may be caused by the annihilation/decay of dark matter particles or by astrophysical pulsars. The cosmic ray antiprotons, which are expected to have the same secondary origin as that of positrons, do not show significant excesses compared with the background prediction. This result also constrains the modeling of the positron excesses. In addition, the spectral hardening above several hundred GeV of cosmic ray nuclei has been revealed. These results have important and interesting implications on our understandings of the origin, acceleration, and propagation of cosmic rays. In particular, China has launched the Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) to indirectly search for the dark matter and explore the high-energy universe in the TeV window. Most recently, the DAMPE collaborators reported the new measurements of the cosmic ray electron plus positron fluxes up to about 5 TeV with a very high precision. The DAMPE data revealed clearly a deflection around 0.9 TeV in the electron energy spectrum. Possible fine structures of the electron plus positron spectra can be critically addressed with the accumulation of data in the coming years. 相似文献
