چکیده
We investigated the time lags and the evolution of the cross spectra of Z source GX 5-1, observed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), when it is in the horizontal branch oscillations. We showed that the time lags of 3 horizontal branch oscillations are related to the position on the hardness intensity diagram. All of the three QPOs were shown to have hard time lags. However on the cross spectra, one is in a ‘dip’, one in a ‘bump’, the other has no so obvious characteristic. The time lags of two of the QPOs decrease with QPO’s frequency, while the other has a trend increasing with its frequency. Moreover, in the normal branch, we found no significant time lags in the present observational data.

Some phenomenological properties of the unidentified EGRET detections suggest that there are two distinct groups of galactic gamma-ray sources that might be associated with compact objects endowed with relativistic jets. We discuss different models for gamma-ray production in both microquasars with low-and high-mass stellar companions. We conclude that the parent population of low-latitude and ...

We use the local curvature to investigate the possible existence of non-Gaussianity/asymmetry in the WMAP data. Considering the full sky we find results which are consistent with the Gaussian assumption. However, strong non-Gaussian features emerge when considering the northern and southern galactic hemisphere separately, particularly on scales between 1 and 5 degrees. Quite interestingly, the ...

I discuss the classical cosmological tests– angular size-redshift, flux-redshift, and galaxy number counts– in the light of the cosmology prescribed by the interpretation of the CMB anisotropies. The discussion is somewhat of a primer for physicists, with emphasis upon the possible systematic uncertainties in the observations and their interpretation. Given the curious composition of the Univer...
