On a mechanism for enhancing magnetic activity in tidally interacting binaries
نویسنده
چکیده
We suggest a mechanism for enhancing magnetic activity in tidally interacting binaries. We suppose that the deviation of the primary star from spherical symmetry due to the tidal influence of the companion leads to stellar pulsation in its fundamental mode. It is shown that stellar radial pulsation amplifies torsional Alfvén waves in a dipole-like magnetic field, buried in the interior, according to the recently proposed swing wave-wave interaction (Zaqarashvili 2001a). Then amplified Alfvén waves lead to the onset of large-scale torsional oscillations, and magnetic flux tubes arising towards the surface owing to magnetic buoyancy diffuse into the atmosphere producing enhanced chromospheric and coronal emission.

Calculation of Quasi-one-dimensional Interacting Electron Gas Using the Hartree-Fock Method
In this paper, the Hartree-Fock method has been formulated to investigate some of the ground state properties of quasi-one-dimensional interacting electron gas in the presence of the magnetic field. The bare coulomb interaction between electrons has been assumed. For this system, we have also computed some of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties such as the energy, pressure, incompressibil...

Metal doped TiO2 catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method and their activities were determined for degradation of methyl orang as a pollutant. Nd-doped TiO2 showed the maximum activity comparing with others. Colloidal SiO2 was used as a support to increase the surface area and also the activity. Nano-TiO2/SiO2/Nd was synthesized by sol-gel method and it was characterized using XRD, XRF, SEM...
متن کاملNewtonian Hydrodynamics of the Coalescence of Black Holes with Neutron Stars I: Tidally locked binaries with a stiff equation of state
We present a detailed study of the hydrodynamical interactions in a Newtonian black hole–neutron star binary during the last stages of inspiral. We consider close binaries which are tidally locked, use a stiff equation of state (with an adiabatic index Γ = 3) throughout, and explore the effect of different initial mass ratios on the evolution of the system. We calculate the gravitational radiat...
متن کاملRotational mixing in close binaries
Rotational mixing is a very important but uncertain process in the evolution of massive stars. We propose to use close binaries to test its efficiency. Based on rotating single stellar models we predict nitrogen surface enhancements for tidally locked binaries. Furthermore we demonstrate the possibility of a new evolutionary scenario for very massive (M > 40M ) close (P < 3 days) binaries: Case...
متن کاملCalculating Magnetic Permeability Response of a Conducting Square Ring Structure
In the present work, we investigate the tunability of the magnetic response of a new structure. A lattice of periodically arranged close-packed square conducting rings has been studied for this purpose. Here, instead of enhancing the magnetic activity via resonance, like in split-ring resonators, we concentrate on the analysis of the interactions between these rings. The core idea is to design ...
