neutron star density in vacuum

چکیده
By simple arguments, we have shown that Károlyházy's model overestimates the quantum uncertainty of the space-time geometry and leads to absurd physical consequences. The given model can thus not account for gradual violation of quantum coherence and can not predict tiny experimental effects either.

Magnetosphere of Oscillating Neutron Star . Nonvacuum Treatment
We generalize a formula for the Goldreich-Julian charge density (ρGJ), originally derived for rotating neutron star, for arbitrary oscillations of a neutron star with arbitrary magnetic field configuration under assumption of low current density in the inner parts of the magnetosphere. As an application we consider toroidal oscillation of a neutron star with dipole magnetic field and calculate ...
متن کاملRecent Developments on Kaon Condensation and Its Astrophysical Implications
We discuss three different ways to arrive at kaon condensation at nc ≃ 3n0 where n0 is nuclear matter density: (1) Fluctuating around the n = 0 vacuum in chiral perturbation theory, (2) fluctuating around nVM near the chiral restoration density nχ where the vector manifestation of hidden local symmetry is reached and (3) fluctuating around the Fermi liquid fixed point at ∼ n0. They all share on...
متن کاملPolarized x-ray emission from magnetized neutron stars: signature of strong-field vacuum polarization.
In the atmospheric plasma of a strongly magnetized neutron star, vacuum polarization can induce a Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein type resonance across which an x-ray photon may (depending on its energy) convert from one mode into the other, with significant changes in opacities and polarizations. We show that this vacuum resonance effect gives rise to a unique energy-dependent polarization signat...
متن کاملCondensed Surfaces of Magnetic Neutron Stars, Thermal Surface Emission, and Particle Acceleration Above Pulsar Polar Caps
Recent calculations indicate that the cohesive energy of condensed matter increases with magnetic field strength and becomes very significant at magnetar-like fields (e.g., 10 keV at 3 × 10 G for zero-pressure condensed iron). This implies that for sufficiently strong magnetic fields and/or low temperatures, the neutron star surface may be in a condensed state with little gas or plasma above it...
متن کاملTransfer of Polarized Radiation in Strongly Magnetized Plasmas and Thermal Emission from Magnetars: Effect of Vacuum Polarization
We present a theoretical study of radiative transfer in strongly magnetized electron-ion plasmas, focusing on the effect of vacuum polarization due to quantum electrodynamics. This study is directly relevant to thermal radiation from the surfaces of highly magnetized neutron stars, which have been detected in recent years. Strong-field vacuum polarization modifies the photon propagation modes i...
