Magnetars: the physics behind observations
Magnetars are the strongest magnets in the present universe and the combination of extreme magnetic field, gravity and density makes them unique laboratories to probe current physical theories (from quantum electrodynamics to general relativity) in the strong field limit. Magnetars are observed as peculiar, burst– active X-ray pulsars, the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and the Soft Gamma Repea...
متن کاملPulsar Physics without Magnetars
Almost 40 years after the discovery of pulsars – and despite a plethora of secured data on them – pul-sar theory is still beset by a number of fundamental inconsistencies. In this short contribution, I will argue that (i) magnetars do not exist, (ii) (ordinary) pulsars turnoff (or 'die') when their wind pressure falls short of keeping the CSM at a safe distance, exceeding 10 15 cm, whereupon th...
متن کاملVERITAS Observations of Magnetars
Magnetars are rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields (∼ 10−10G). Xray and soft gamma-ray observations have revealed the existence of non-thermal particle populations which may suggest emission of very high energy photons. VERITAS, an array of four 12m imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, is designed to observe gamma-ray emission between 100 GeV and 30 TeV. Here we pre...
متن کاملThe Physics behind Genetic Programming
This paper presents the historic scenery of calculus of variations (CV), one of the central tools of theoretical physics, and its relashionship with genetic programming (GP) algorithms, a search method with would be considered a numerical solution for the method of variations.
متن کاملThe Physics behind Systems Biology
Systems Biology is a young and rapidly evolving research field, which combines experimental techniques andmathematical modeling in order to achieve a mechanistic understanding of processes underlying the regulation and evolution of living systems. Systems Biology is often associated with an Engineering approach: The purpose is to formulate a data-rich, detailed simulation model that allows to p...
