Entropy of the Randall-Sundrum black brane world in the brick-wall method

We calculate the entropy of the brane-world black hole in the Randall-Sundrum(RS) model by using the brick-wall method. The modes along the extra dimension are semi-classically quantized on the extra dimension. The number of modes in the extra dimension is given as a simple form with the help of the RS mass relation, and then the entropy for the scalar modes in the five-dimensional spacetime is described by the two-dimensional area of the black brane world.Comment: 11pages, revtex, one word added in title, contents are slightly modified, to appear in Phys.

Classical and Quantum Aspects of Gravitation and Cosmology

These are the proceedings of the XVIII Conference of the Indian Association for General Relativity and Gravitation (IAGRG) held at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Madras, INDIA during Feb. 15-17, 1996. The Conference was dedicated the late Prof. S. Chandrasekhar. The proceedings consists of 17 articles on: - Chandrasekhar's work (N. Panchapkesan); - Vaidya-Raychaudhuri Lecture (C.V. Vishveshwara) - Gravitational waves (B.R. Iyer, R. Balasubramanian) - Gravitational Collapse (T.P. Singh) - Accretion on black hole (S. Chakrabarti) - Cosmology (D. Munshi, S. Bharadwaj, G.S. Mohanty, P. Bhattacharjee); - Classical GR (S. Kar, D.C. Srivatsava) - Quantum aspects (J. Maharana, Saurya Das, P. Mitra, G. Date, N.D. Hari Dass) The body of THIS article contains ONLY the title, contents, foreword, organizing committees, preface, list of contributed talks and list of participants.

Australian poetry: reflections on nature, space and identity

In the relatively brief history of written Australian poetry, nature has emerged as a quintessential theme. As a space and a physical expression of the natural world, nature is expressed through many styles. Even in urban poetry, nature is often held in the frame of a window, in memory, or as scarred residues in developed spaces. Contemporary poets in Australia often express a consciousness of nature, even if direct reference to the natural world is absent in an individual poem. With little to distinguish Australia's urban environment from any other city in the world, symbology of the bush and beach helps fuel the construction of Australian identity and poetry. This article explores the role of nature in Australian poetry that has helped shaped views of natural landscapes and Australian identity

XRF 050406 late-time flattening: an inverse Compton component?

We investigate for possible evidence of inverse Compton (IC) emission in the X-ray afterglow of XRF 050406. In the framework of the standard fireball model, we show how the late-time flattening observed in the X-ray light curve between \~10^{4} s and ~10^{6} s can be explained in a synchrotron-plus-IC scenario, when the IC peak frequency crosses the X-ray band. We thus conclude that the appearance of an IC component above the synchrotron one at late times successfully accounts for these X-ray observations.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, accepted for publication in A&A.
