X-ray spectroscopy of astrophysical plasmas.
We provide a qualitative review of key X-ray spectral diagnostics of astrophysical plasmas. We begin with a brief discussion of the two major types of equilibria, collisional ionization and photoionization, and then consider the behaviour of hydrogen-like, helium-like, iron L-shell and iron K-shell transitions for these separate cases. Where possible, we discuss explicit examples using high-res...
متن کاملRotating traversable wormholes
The general form of a stationary, axially symmetric traversable wormhole is discussed. This is a generalization of the static, spherically symmetric wormholes first considered by Morris and Thorne. It is shown that such a wormhole generically violates the null energy condition at the throat. However, an example is presented in which a class of geodesics falling through it do not encounter any e...
متن کاملAl0.2Ga0.8As X-ray photodiodes for X-ray spectroscopy
Three custom-made Al0.2Ga0.8As p-i-n mesa X-ray photodiodes (200 μm diameter, 3 μm i layer) were electrically characterised and investigated for their response to illumination with soft X-rays from an Fe radioisotope X-ray source (Mn Kα = 5.9 keV; Mn Kβ = 6.49 keV). The AlGaAs photodiodes were shown to be suitable for photon counting X-ray spectroscopy at room temperature. When coupled to a cus...
متن کاملCompact X-ray sources: X-ray from self-reflection
X-ray has been an important scientific tool ever since its discovery in the 1890s. X-ray used to be generated by synchrotron machines, which are large and expensive devices. However, laser-based particle acceleration offers a way to reduce the size and cost of hard-X-ray sources. Scientists have now developed a simple scheme that produces a bright flash of hard-X-rays by using a single laser pu...
متن کاملIn search for natural wormholes
We have investigated 631 time profiles of gamma ray bursts from the BATSE database searching for observable signatures produced by microlensing events related to natural wormholes. The results of this first search of topologically nontrivial objects in the Universe can be used to constrain their number and mass.
