Observational Prospects for Extra-galactic Microlensing Events
We consider the feasibility of directly observing gravitational microlensing in extra-galactic sources, whose stars are not generally resolved. This precludes use of the simple optical depth to microlensing formulation, which is applicable only to resolved stars. We, instead, extend this method to consider observational constraints, such as seeing, sky background and minimum detectable change i...
متن کاملSupermassive Boson Stars: Prospects for Observational Detection
Although it is commonly believed that the center of the Galaxy is a supermassive black hole, it is not yet established on a firm observational basis. We have recently shown 1 that a supermassive boson or soliton star, if it exists at all, could well be at the center of some galaxies, including ours. These models can be in agreement current observations, and fit very well into dynamical and grav...
متن کاملDiagnosing Magnetars with Transient Cooling
Transient X-ray emission, with an approximate t−0.7 decay, was observed from SGR 1900+14 over 40 days following the the giant flare of 27 Aug 1998. We calculate in detail the diffusion of heat to the surface of a neutron star through an intense 1014 − 1015 G magnetic field, following the release of magnetic energy in its outer layers. We show that the power law index, the fraction of burst ener...
متن کاملObservational Prospects for Afterglows of Short Duration Gamma-ray Bursts
If the efficiency for producing γ-rays is the same in short duration (<∼ 2 s) Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) as in long duration GRBs, then the average kinetic energy of short GRBs must be ∼ 20 times less than that of long GRBs. Assuming further that the relativistic shocks in short and long duration GRBs have similar parameters, we show that the afterglows of short GRBs will be on average 10–40 times...
متن کاملMagnetars origin and progenitors with enhanced rotation
Among a dozen known magnetar-candidates there are no binary objects. As an estimate of a fraction of binary neutron stars is about 10% it is reasonable to address the question of solitarity of magnetars, to estimate theoretically the fraction of binary objects among them, and to mark out the most probable companions. We present population synthesis calculations of binary systems. Our goal is to...
