General Relativistic Magnetoionic Theory

چکیده
Abstract. We have developed methods for tracing rays and performing radiative transfer through a magnetoactive plasma in a general relativistic environment. The two electromagnetic plasma modes propagate differently due to a combination of dispersive and gravitational effects. We have found that, when given an appropriate environment surrounding the central black hole, it is indeed possible to generate a significant degree of circular polarisation without an appreciable amount of linear polarisation due to these effects alone.

Covariant Magnetoionic Theory I: Ray Propagation
Accretion onto compact objects plays a central role in high energy astrophysics. In these environments, both general relativistic and plasma effects may have significant impacts upon the propagation of photons. We present a full general relativistic magnetoionic theory, capable of tracing rays in the geometric optics approximation through a magnetised plasma in the vicinity of a compact object....

متن کاملGeneral relativistic hydrodynamic flows around a static compact object in final stages of accretion flow
Dynamics of stationary axisymmetric configuration of the viscous accreting fluids surrounding a non-rotating compact object in final stages of accretion flow is presented here. For the special case of thin disk approximation, the relativistic fluid equations ignoring self-gravity of the disk are derived in Schwarzschild geometry. For two different state equations, two sets of self-consistent an...

We formulate a general relativistic mean field theory for rotating nuclei starting from the special relativistic σ-ω model Lagrangian. The tetrad formalism is adopted to generalize the model to the accelerated frame.
متن کامل“ Gauge ” in General Relativity : — Second - order general relativistic gauge - invariant perturbation theory —
As in the case of the other gauge field theories, there is so called “gauge” also in general relativity. This “gauge” is unphysical degree of freedom. There are two kinds of “gauges” in general relativity. These are called the firstand the second-kind of gauges, respectively. The gauge of the first kind is just coordinate system on a single manifold. On the other hand, the gauge of the second k...
