Journal ArticleDOI
Boson Stars: Gravitational Equilibria of Self-Interacting Scalar Fields
TL;DR: It is found that the maximum masses of such boson stars may be comparable to the Chandrasekhar mass for fermions of mass m/sub fermion/--lambda/sup -1/4/m/sub boson/.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supergiant pulses from extragalactic neutron stars
J. M. Cordes,Ira Wasserman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider radio bursts that originate from extragalactic neutron stars (NSs) by addressing three questions about source distances: What are the physical limitations on coherent radiation at GHz frequencies? Do they permit detection at cosmological distances? How many bursts per NS are needed to produce the inferred burst rate 10 3 -10 4 sky 1 day 1?
Journal ArticleDOI
A Relativistic Model of Pulsar Polarization
TL;DR: In this article, the rotating vector model of pulsar polarization was extended to include first-order special relativistic effects and the model predicts that the centroid of the position angle curve arrives later than the intensity profile by 4r/c, where r is the emission radius.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Dynamical Fate of Wide Binaries in the Solar Neighborhood
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model for the evolution of wide binaries in the Galaxy is presented for the postulated solar companion, Nemesis, which may disturb the Oort cloud and cause catastrophic comet showers to strike the earth every 26 Myr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observational constraints on cosmic string production during brane inflation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the constraints of WMAP and 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) data on the various brane inflationary scenarios and conclude that they cannot definitively rule out a cosmic-string-induced contribution of 10% to the observed temperature, polarization and galaxy density fluctuations.
