Primitive Parallax and Parallax Primitives
This paper describes an implementation of parallax depth perception designed to be a contributing unit to a distributed perceptual intelligence. The work was done in the context of the Cog project, a large-scale eeort to develop human or at least infant intelligence from the bottom up. Our implementation uses fast-approximation \good enough" region mapping and relevant motion detection over mul...
متن کاملMagnetar Spin-Down.
We examine the effects of a relativistic wind on the spin-down of a neutron star and apply our results to the study of soft gamma repeaters (SGRs), which are thought to be neutron stars with magnetic fields greater than 1014 G. We derive a spin-down formula that includes torques from both dipole radiation and episodic or continuous particle winds. We find that if SGR 1806-20 puts out a continuo...
متن کاملTriggers of magnetar outbursts
Bright outbursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) are believed to be caused by instabilities in ultramagnetized neutron stars, powered by a decaying magnetic field. It was originally thought that these outbursts were due to reconnection instabilities in the magnetosphere, reached via slow evolution of magnetic footpoints anchored in the crust. Later models con...
متن کاملPolarized radio emission from a magnetar
We present polarization observations of the radio emitting magnetar AXPJ1810−197. Using simultaneous multi-frequency observations performed at 1.4, 4.9 and 8.4 GHz, we obtained polarization information for single pulses and the average pulse profile at several epochs. We find that in several respects this magnetar source shows similarities to the emission properties of normal radio pulsars whil...
متن کاملSuperfluid signatures in magnetar seismology
We investigate the role of neutron star superfluidity for magnetar oscillations. Using a plane-wave analysis we estimate the effects of a neutron superfluid in the elastic crust region. We demonstrate that the superfluid imprint is likely to be more significant than the effects of the crustal magnetic field. We also consider the region immediately beneath the crust, where superfluid neutrons ar...
