We discuss the influence of large scale cosmic magnetic fields on the propagation of hadronic cosmic rays above 10 eV based on large scale structure simulations. Our simulations suggest that rather substantial deflection up to several tens of degrees at 10 eV are possible for nucleon primaries. Further, spectra and composition of cosmic rays from individual sources can depend on magnetic fields...

We present a summary of spectroscopic identifications of bright soft high galactic latitude X-ray sources from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey with total PSPC count rates 0.11 < CR < 0.5 cts s−1 and hardness ratios HR1 < 0. This study supplements the identification program of a complete sample of sources withCR ≥ 0.5 cts s−1 presented previously. Spectroscopic identifications are presented for 70 of 7...

The high-frequency integrated spectra of Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) sources show breaks with a moderate spectral steepening well fitted by continuous injection synchrotron spectra. In lobe-dominated CSS sources the radiative ages deduced by the synchrotron theory are in the range of up to 10 years, if equipartition magnetic fields are assumed. These radiative ages are well correlated with the...

MRI workers are occupationally exposed to static and time-varying gradient magnetic fields.  While the 24-hour time-averaged exposure to static magnetic fields is about a few mT, the maximum static field strength can be as high as 500 mT during patient setup. Over the past several years, our laboratory has performed extensive experiments on the health effects of exposure of animal models and h...

Regular magnetic field structures can be derived from the Faraday rotation measures (RM) of polarized background sources observable at 1.4 GHz with the SKA. At lower frequencies (< 250MHz) polarimetry of radio sources with the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) will allow the investigation of extremely small RM, to detect and map weak regular fields in halos and outer parts of spiral galaxies, and in ...

This paper presents a magnetic efficiency model for comparing efficiencies of various magnets for magnetic resonance imaging. It demonstrates that monohedral magnets, magnets with sources on one side, can generate remote saddle points in the field profile relatively efficiently. These magnets may be modeled by a minimum of two magnetic dipoles. The paper examines the field profile and magnetic ...

We present a numerical approach to investigate the relationship between magnetic fields and Faraday rotation effects in clusters of galaxies. We can infer the structure and strength of intra-cluster magnetic fields by comparing our simulations with the observed polarization properties of extended cluster radio sources such as radio galaxies and halos. We find the observations require a magnetic...

We derive observational consequences of the hypothesis that cosmic rays (CR’s) of energy > 10eV originate in the same cosmological objects producing gamma-ray bursts (GRB’s). Inter-galactic magnetic fields ∼> 10 G are required in this model to allow CR’s to be observed continuously in time by producing energy dependent delays in the CR arrival times. This results in individual CR sources having...

We present the relation of the spatial distribution of Hα kernels with the distribution of hard X-ray (HXR) sources seen during the 2001 April 10 solar flare. This flare was observed in Hα with the Sartorius telescope at Kwasan Observatory, Kyoto University, and in hard X-rays (HXRs) with the Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT) onboard Yohkoh. We compared the spatial distribution of the HXR sources with...

The augment of heat transfer and fluid of buoyancy-driven flow of Fe3O4-Water nanofluid in a square cavity under the influence of an external magnetic field is studied numerically. Cold temperature is applied on the side (vertical) walls and high temperature is imposed on the bottom wall while the top wall is kept at thermally insulated. The governing non-dimensional differential equations are ...
