Analytical smoothing effect of solution for the boussinesq equations
In this paper, we study the analytical smoothing effect of Cauchy problem for
the incompressible Boussinesq equations. Precisely, we use the Fourier method
to prove that the Sobolev H 1-solution to the incompressible Boussinesq
equations in periodic domain is analytic for any positive time. So the
incompressible Boussinesq equation admet exactly same smoothing effect

Probing the properties of the pulsar wind via studying the dispersive effects in the pulses from the pulsar companion in a double neutron-star binary system
The velocity and density distribution of in the pulsar wind are
crucial distinction among magnetosphere models, and contains key parameters
determining the high energy emission of pulsar binaries. In this work, a direct
method is proposed, which might probe the properties of the wind from one
pulsar in a double-pulsar binary. When the radio signals from the first-formed
pulsar travel through the relativistic flow in the pulsar wind from the
younger companion, the components of different radio frequencies will be
dispersed. It will introduce an additional frequency-dependent time-of-arrival
delay of pulses, which is function of the orbital phase. In this paper, we
formulate the above-mentioned dispersive delay with the properties of the
pulsar wind. As examples, we apply the formula to the double pulsar system PSR
J0737-3039A/B and the pulsar-neutron star binary PSR B1913+16. For PSR
J0737-3039A/B, the time delay in 300\,MHz is s near the
superior-conjunction, under the optimal pulsar wind parameters, which is
half of the current timing accuracy. For PSR B1913+16, with the assumption that
the neutron star companion has a typical spin down luminosity of
\,ergs/s, the time delay is as large as s in 300\,MHz.
The best timing precision of this pulsar is s in 1400\,MHz.
Therefore, it is possible that we can find this signal in archival data.
Otherwise, we can set an upper-limit on the spin down luminosity. Similar
analysis can be apply to other eleven known pulsar-neutron star binariesComment: 6 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication in MNRA
