Gravitation wave emission from radio pulsars revisited
We report a new pulsar population synthesis based on Monte Carlo techniques, aiming to estimate the contribution of galactic radio pulsars to the continuous gravitational wave emission. Assuming that the rotation periods of pulsars at birth have a Gaussian distribution, we find that the average initial period is 290 ms. The number of objects with periods equal to or less than 0.4 s, and therefo...
متن کاملProbing Gravitation, Dark Energy, and Acceleration
The acceleration of the expansion of the universe arises from unknown physical processes involving either new fields in high energy physics or modifications of gravitation theory. It is crucial for our understanding to characterize the properties of the dark energy or gravity through cosmological observations and compare and distinguish between them. In fact, close consistencies exist between a...
متن کاملGravitation spin effect on the magnetic inclination evolution of pulsars
If pulsar magnetic fields are associated with the intrinsic magnetic moment of neutrons inside the stellar crust, the gravitational spin effect can induce the magnetic axis to align with the rotation axis. Our theoretical results show that the decay time scale is inversely proportional to the magnetic field strength, and that longer initial period pulsars can delay the alignment process. Theref...
متن کاملSubspace Clustering with Gravitation
Data mining is a process of discovering and exploiting hidden patterns from data. Clustering as an important task of data mining divides the observations into groups (clusters), which is according to the principle that the observations in the same cluster are similar, and the ones from different clusters are dissimilar to each other. Subspace clustering enables clustering in subspaces within a ...
متن کاملPulsars with the SKA
As for other areas in modern astronomy, the SKA will revolutionize the field of pulsar astrophysics. Not only will new science be possible by the shear number of pulsars discovered, but also by the unique timing precision achievable with the SKA. The combination of both will not simply mean a continuation of the successes already achieved by using pulsars as fundamental tools of physics but the...
