    We study the property of X(4260)X(4260) resonance by re-analyzing all experimental data available, especially the e+e−→J/ψ π+π−,   ωχc0e^+e^- \rightarrow J/\psi\,\pi^+\pi^-,\,\,\,\omega\chi_{c0} cross section data. The final state interactions of the ππ\pi\pi, KKˉK\bar K couple channel system are also taken into account. A sizable coupling between the X(4260)X(4260) and ωχc0\omega\chi_{c0} is found. The inclusion of the ωχc0\omega\chi_{c0} data indicates a small value of Γe+e−=23.30±3.55\Gamma_{e^+e^-}=23.30\pm 3.55eV.Comment: Refined analysis with new experimental data included. 13 page

    Analytical and numerical studies of central galactic outflows powered by tidal disruption events -- a model for the Fermi bubbles?

    Full text link
    Capture and tidal disruption of stars by the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center (GC) should occur regularly. The energy released and dissipated by this processes will affect both the ambient environment of the GC and the Galactic halo. A single star of super-Eddington eruption generates a subsonic out ow with an energy release of more than 105210^{52} erg, which still is not high enough to push shock heated gas into the halo. Only routine tidal disruption of stars near the GC can provide enough cumulative energy to form and maintain large scale structures like the Fermi Bubbles. The average rate of disruption events is expected to be 10−410^{-4} ~ 10−510^{-5} yr−1^{-1}, providing the average power of energy release from the GC into the halo of dW/dt ~ 3*1041^{41} erg/s, which is needed to support the Fermi Bubbles. The GC black hole is surrounded by molecular clouds in the disk, but their overall mass and filling factor is too low to stall the shocks from tidal disruption events significantly. The de facto continuous energy injection on timescales of Myr will lead to the propagation of strong shocks in a density stratified Galactic halo and thus create elongated bubble-like features, which are symmetric to the Galactic midplane.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures.
