The zero age main sequence of WIMP burners
نویسندگان
چکیده
We modify a stellar structure code to estimate the effect upon the main sequence of the accretion of weakly-interacting dark matter onto stars and its subsequent annihilation. The effect upon the stars depends upon whether the energy generation rate from dark matter annihilation is large enough to shut off the nuclear burning in the star. Main sequence weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMP) burners look much like proto-stars moving on the Hayashi track, although they are in principle completely stable. We make some brief comments about where such stars could be found, how they might be observed and more detailed simulations which are currently in progress. Finally we comment on whether or not it is possible to link the paradoxically hot, young stars found at the galactic center with WIMP burners.

Dark stars at the Galactic centre – the main sequence
In regions of very high dark matter density such as the Galactic centre, the capture and annihilation of WIMP dark matter by stars has the potential to significantly alter their evolution. We describe the dark stellar evolution code DarkStars, and present a series of detailed grids of WIMP-influenced stellar models for main sequence stars. We describe the changes in stellar structure and main s...
متن کاملHeat Transfer Characteristics of Porous Radiant Burners Using Discrete-Ordinate Method (S2-Approximation)
This paper describes a theoretical study to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of porous radiant burners. A one dimensional model is used to solve the governing equations for porous medium and gas flow before the premixed flame to the exhaust gas. Combustion in the porous medium is modeled as a spatially dependent heat generation zone. The homogeneous porous media, in addition to its...
متن کاملOne Terminal Digital Algorithm for Adaptive Single Pole Auto-Reclosing Based on Zero Sequence Voltage
This paper presents an algorithm for adaptive determination of the dead timeduring transient arcing faults and blocking automatic reclosing during permanent faults onoverhead transmission lines. The discrimination between transient and permanent faults ismade by the zero sequence voltage measured at the relay point. If the fault is recognised asan arcing one, then the third harmonic of the zero...
متن کاملOptimum Aggregate Inventory for Scheduling Multi-product Single Machine System with Zero Setup Time
In this paper we adopt the common cycle approach to economic lot scheduling problem and minimize the maximum aggregate inventory. We allow the occurrence of the idle times between any two consecutive products and consider limited capital for investment in inventory. We assume the setup times are negligible. To achieve the optimal investment in inventory we first find the idle times which minimi...
متن کاملApplication of Particle Image Velocimetry to Analyse Thermal Performance of LPG Cooking Burners
Thermal performance of three different types of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) domestic cooking burners, i.e. a conventional radial flow, a vertical flow and a swirling flow were analyzed by means of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). PI V diagnostics can explain the burners’ performance from their corresponding flow fields at an impingement area. With the difference of flow patterns, larger atta...
