Constraining Non-local Gravity by S2 star orbits
Non-local theories of gravity have recently gained a lot of interest because
they can suitably represent the behavior of gravitational interaction in the
ultraviolet regime. Furthermore, at infrared scales, they give rise to notable
cosmological effects which could be important to describe the dark energy
behavior. In particular, exponential forms of the distortion function seem
particularly useful for this purpose. Using Noether Symmetries, it can be shown
that the only non-trivial form of the distortion function is the exponential
one, which is working not only for cosmological mini-superspaces, but also in a
spherically symmetric spacetime. Taking this result into account, we study the
weak field approximation of this type of non-local gravity, and comparing with
the orbits of S2 stars around the Galactic center (NTT/VLT data), we set
constraints on the parameters of the theory. Non-local effects do not play a
significant role on the orbits of S2 stars around Sgr A*, but give richer
phenomenology at cosmological scales than the CDM model. Also, we show
that non-local gravity model gives better agreement between theory and
astronomical observations than Keplerian orbits.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures. Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Evaluación de Parámetros de control obligatorio del agua potable proveniente del manantial Cuyuraya de la provincia de Huancané – Región Puno, 2019
El objetivo de este estudio fue el de evaluar los parámetros de control obligatorio de agua potable en la provincia de Huancané. Los puntos de monitoreo fueron seleccionados según la ubicación establecida por la Empresa Prestadora de Servicios “EPS NOR PUNO S.A.”; con los siguientes puntos: fuente principal de abastecimiento de agua (manantial Cuyuraya) y la red principal de abastecimiento (desde la primera vivienda, zona media y vivienda final) siendo un total de 6 puntos de monitoreo. Los parámetros evaluados según Reglamento de la Calidad del Agua para Consumo Humano DS N° 031 – 2010 – SA, fueron: pH, color, cloro residual, turbiedad, coliformes totales y termotolerantes, los cuales fueron analizados in-situ o en un laboratorio respectivamente, con un resultado de que solo 3 de los 6 parámetros evaluados cumplen con lo que indica el reglamento, debido a que Cloro Residual no llega al mínimo establecido de 0.5 mg/L, Coliformes Totales y Termotolerantes exceden en 16 UFC como máximo y <1.1 como mínimo, concluyendo que el agua que se distribuye en todo Huancané es directamente afectada por los niveles bajos de cloro residual, ocasionando que exista la presencia de coliformes (totales y termotolerantes), lo que afecta directamente a la calidad del agua que se distribuye en la provincia de Huancané.Trabajo de investigaciónJULIACAEscuela Profesional de Ingeniería AmbientalBiodiversidad y calidad ambienta
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics—dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem—all involve gravity as a key component. And of all gravitational phenomena, black holes stand out in their elegant simplicity, while harbouring some of the most remarkable predictions of General Relativity: event horizons, singularities and ergoregions.
The hitherto invisible landscape of the gravitational Universe is being unveiled before our eyes: the historical direct detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration marks the dawn of a new era of scientific exploration. Gravitational-wave astronomy will allow us to test models of black hole formation, growth and evolution, as well as models of gravitational-wave generation and propagation. It will provide evidence for event horizons and ergoregions, test the theory of General Relativity itself, and may reveal the existence of new fundamental fields. The synthesis of these results has the potential to radically reshape our understanding of the cosmos and of the laws of Nature.
The purpose of this work is to present a concise, yet comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the relevant fields of research, summarize important open problems, and lay out a roadmap for future progress. This write-up is an initiative taken within the framework of the European Action on 'Black holes, Gravitational waves and Fundamental Physics'
