Binary neutron stars (NSNS) are expected to be among the leading sources of gravitational waves observable by ground-based laser interferometers and may be the progenitors of short-hard gamma ray bursts.
An analytical derivation is presented for computing mass-loss rates of Cepheids by using the method of Castor, Abbott, & Klein (1975) modified to include a term for momentum input from pulsation and shocks generated in the atmosphere.
The hot accretion flow (such as advection-dominated accretion flow) is usually optically thin in the radial direction, therefore the photons produced at one radius can travel for a long distance without being absorbed and heat or cool electrons at other
The physics of diffuse gas accretion and the properties of the cold and hot modes of accretion onto proto-galaxies between z=2 and z=5.4 are investigated using the large cosmological simulation performed with the RAMSES code on the MareNostrum supercomputing facility.
