    ULDM self-interactions, tidal effects and tunnelling out of satellite galaxies

    It is well-known that Dark Matter (DM) inside a satellite galaxy orbiting a host halo experiences a tidal potential. For Ultra-Light Dark Matter (ULDM), due to its wave-like nature, one expects it to tunnel out of the satellite - if this happens sufficiently quickly, then the satellite will not survive over cosmological timescales, severely constraining the dark matter model. In this paper, we study the effects of the inevitable quartic self-interaction of scalar ULDM on the lifetimes of satellite galaxies by looking for quasi-stationary solutions with outgoing wave boundary conditions. For a satellite with some known core mass and orbital period, we find that, attractive (repulsive) self-interactions decrease (increase) the rate of tunnelling of DM out of it. In particular, for satellite galaxies with core mass ∼O(107−108) M⊙\sim \mathcal{O}(10^7-10^8)\ M_\odot and orbital period ∼O(1) Gyr\sim \mathcal{O}(1)\ \text{Gyr}, one can impose constraints on the strength of self-interactions as small as λ∼O(10−92)\lambda\sim \mathcal{O}(10^{-92}). For instance, for ULDM mass m=10−22 eVm = 10^{-22}\ \text{eV}, the existence of the Fornax dwarf galaxy necessitates attractive self-interactions with λ≲−2.12×10−91\lambda \lesssim -2.12 \times 10^{-91}.Comment: 27 pages, 13 figure

    Self-interactions of ULDM to the rescue?

    Full text link
    One of the most important questions in cosmology is concerning the fundamental nature of dark matter (DM). DM could consist of spinless particles of very small mass i.e. m∼10−22 eVm \sim 10^{-22}\ \text{eV}. This kind of ultralight dark matter (ULDM) would form cored density profiles (called "solitons") at the centre of galaxies. In this context, recently it has been argued that (a) there exists a power law relation between the mass of the soliton and mass of the surrounding halo called the Soliton-Halo (SH) relation, and, (b) the requirement of satisfying observed galactic rotation curves as well as SH relations is so stringent that ULDM is disfavoured from comprising 100%100\% of the total cosmological dark matter. In this work, we revisit these constraints for ULDM particles with non-negligible quartic self-interactions. Using a recently obtained soliton-halo relation which takes into account the effect of self-interactions, we present evidence which suggests that, for $m = 10^{-22}\ \text{eV},therequirementofsatisfyingbothgalacticrotationcurvesaswellasSHrelationscanbefulfilledwithrepulsiveself−coupling, the requirement of satisfying both galactic rotation curves as well as SH relations can be fulfilled with repulsive self-coupling \lambda \sim \mathcal{O}(10^{-90})$.Comment: 26 pages, 8 figure

    To detect pesticide in Food beverages by Partial Structural Examination of CDs with the help of Fluorescence quenching study

    In recent world, there are lots of crimes happen by adding some hazardous or poisonous materials in the food and food beverages. So it is very hard and cost effective to detect those materials. By one step synthesising carbon dots, the hydrothermal method is very accurate and precise. Carbon dots were synthesised by using hydrothermal methods with different precursors (ethanolamine, urea, ammonium thiocynate) while synthesising. Fluorescence quenching study has been done by using spectrofluorophotometer by adding some amount of food beverage in carbon dots solution. The structural property of CDs and the fluorescence quenching study have been examined by UV-vis spectrometer, atomic force microscopy, spectrofluorophotometer and FT-IR. The comparisons of precursors conclude that ethanolamine is the accurate and precise precursor to synthesise carbon dots with limited crystalline size (30nm-40nm). It shows better and less time consuming detection of the pesticide in appy fizz drink. By using ethanolamine batch, the fluorescence graph gradually decreased by adding 20ppm carbon dot solution after each reading.    &nbsp

    The use of bacterial l-asparaginase (LA) is one of the alternative approaches for acrylamide reduction in food stuffs as it catalyzes the conversion of l-asparagine to l-aspartic acid and ammonia. In present investigation, purification of extracellular LA from isolate of Bacillus subtilis sp. strain KDPS-1 was carried out by solid state fermentation process. The effects of solid substrates, initial moisture content, moistening agents, temperature, and incubation time on LA production was studied, and the highest asparaginase activity (47 IU/ml) was achieved in the medium having orange peel as substrate. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cellulose ion exchange chromatography; with 84.89 % yield and 12.11 fold purity. LA showed stimulant activity against β-mercaptoethanol and was greatly inhibited by Zn(2+) and Hg(2+) metal ions. Reduction of acrylamide in fried potatoes was detected by high performance liquid chromatography, which showed clear degradation of acrylamide by height and area (%) in the chromatograms of standard sample to that of the test sample. Hydrolysates analysis by high performance thin layer chromatography confirmed the test sample to be LA

    Revolutionizing Agriculture With Nanotechnology: Rice-Based Silica Nanoparticles For The Remediation And Quantification Of Toxic Heavy Metals In Potatoes

    Get PDF
    Today, metal pollution in agricultural soils poses a growing concern due to its potential health risks through the consumption of contaminated plants like potatoes. Heavy metal concentrations in the environment can exceed safe levels due to various human activities, including industrialization, mining, and agricultural practices. Consequently, potatoes and other vegetables may contain toxic heavy metals like Co, Ni, Pb, Cd, and Cr. Effective removal techniques are needed to mitigate these risks to food safety and human health. In this study, a simple and inexpensive green synthesis method is described to extract mesoporous silica nanoparticles taken from Navsari region “GNR-3 (Gujarat Navsari Rice – 3)” rice using the bottom-up approach for removal of toxic heavy metals contamination present in North Gujarat region Banaskantha district’s special variety potatoes named “KUFRI BADASHAH”. Rice husk (RH) calcinated to obtain rice husk ash (RHA) with high silica purity (>98% wt), as determined by the EDX analysis. Calcination at 650°C for four hours in a box furnace yielded RHA that was devoid of metal impurities and organic matter. The present study defines successfully minimization of toxic heavy metal contamination present in potatoes by employing silica nanoparticles (SNPs) as a biomass adsorbent and also includes all basic characterization of SNPs. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed a broad peak at 2θ≈22.1°C and was free from any other sharp peaks, indicating the amorphous property of the GNR-3 variety rice SNPs. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) showed clusters of spherically shaped uniform aggregates of SNPs while transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated an average particle size of < 50 nm. Peaks in the Fourier transform infrared spectra were found at 1083.29 cm⁻1 and 795.48 cm⁻1, corresponding to O-Si-O symmetric stretching vibration and O-Si-O asymmetric stretching, respectively. The Brunauer-Emmet-Teller, obtained value of 11.1984 m²/g reflects the extent of surface available for adsorption. Concurrently, the pore size, a crucial factor influencing the accessibility of adsorption sites, was measured at 196.202 Å. The specific surface area of 11.1984 m²/g suggests a considerable active surface for potential interactions, respectively. In conclusion, Agriculture waste-derived SNPs (Silver Nanoparticles) offer a compelling solution for the removal of toxic heavy metals from potatoes. This technique is characterized by its simplicity, as it leverages readily available agricultural waste materials, requiring minimal processing
