Trabalho de conclusão de curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Comunicação, Departamento de Comunicação Organizacional, 2018.Este trabalho tem como objetivo propor um plano de comunicação para a atlética da Faculdade de Comunicação da UnB, a Hermética. O objetivo é produzir um plano de comunicação para estimular a integração e motivar a participação dos discentes na atlética. Tendo como base teórica os principais conceitos de motivação, associação atlética acadêmica e instrumentos de Comunicação, foi elaborado um questionário e um roteiro de entrevista para investigar o cenário em que a Hermética está inserida. Com base nas informações coletadas foi elaborada uma análise dos resultados e, posteriormente, foram estabelecidos objetivos, estratégias e ações de comunicação para que a associação alcance seus objetivos e sua visão
A Fallback Disk Model for Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
Current stellar evolution models predict that during the core collapse of
massive stars, a considerable amount of the stellar material will fall back
onto the compact, collapsed remnants (neutron stars or black holes), usually in
the form of an accretion disk. This triggers rapid mass accretion onto, e.g.,
the black hole, and produces energetic explosions known as Gamma-ray bursts.
However it is very difficult to prove the existence of an accretion disk around
newborn black holes observationally. Here we demonstrate that some of the
ultraluminous X-ray sources in nearby galaxies, which are associated with
supernova remnants, may be black holes accreting from their fallback disks,
i.e., they have evolved from collapsars. Since it is almost certain that there
is an accretion disk around these black holes, this would for the first time
lend the observational support to the collapsar model.Comment: 6 pages, accepted for publication in ApJ
Iron K-alpha Fluorescent Line Profiles from Spiral Accretion Flows in AGNs
We present 6.4 keV iron K-alpha fluorescent line profiles predicted for a
relativistic black hole accretion disk in the presence of a spiral motion in
Kerr geometry, the work extended from an earlier literature motivated by recent
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The velocity field of the spiral motion,
superposed on the background Keplerian flow, results in a complicated redshift
distribution in the accretion disk. An X-ray source attributed to a localized
flaring region on the black hole symmetry axis illuminates the iron in the
disk. The emissivity form becomes very steep because of the light bending
effect from the primary X-ray source to the disk. The predicted line profile is
calculated for various spiral waves, and we found, regardless of the source
height, that: (i) a multiple-peak along with a classical double-peak structure
generally appears, (ii) such a multiple-peak can be categorized into two types,
sharp sub-peaks and periodic spiky peaks, (iii) a tightly-packed spiral wave
tends to produce more spiky multiple peaks, whereas (iv) a spiral wave with a
larger amplitude seems to generate more sharp sub-peaks, (v) the effect seems
to be less significant when the spiral wave is centrally concentrated, (vi) the
line shape may show a drastic change (forming a double-peak, triple-peak or
multiple-peak feature) as the spiral wave rotates with the disk. Our results
emphasize that around a rapidly-rotating black hole an extremely redshifted
iron line profile with a noticeable spike-like feature can be realized in the
presence of the spiral wave. Future X-ray observations, from {\it Astro-E2} for
example, will have sufficient spectral resolution for testing our spiral wave
model which exhibits unique spike-like features.Comment: 30 pages, 10 figures, submitted to ApJ, will be presented at 204th

Long-term multi-wavelength studies of GRS 1915+105 I. A high-energy and mid-infrared focus with RXTE, INTEGRAL, and Spitzer
To date, mid-infrared properties of Galactic black hole binaries have barely
been investigated in the framework of multi-wavelength campaigns. Yet, studies
in this spectral domain are crucial to get complementary information on the
presence of dust and/or on the physical processes such as dust heating and
thermal bremsstrahlung. Here, we report a long-term multi-wavelength study of
the microquasar GRS 1915+105. On the one hand, we aimed at understanding the
origins of the mid-infrared emission, and on the other hand, at searching for
correlation with the high-energy and/or radio activities. We observed the
source at several epochs between 2004 and 2006 with the photometer IRAC and
spectrometer IRS, both mounted on the Spitzer Space Telescope. When available,
we completed our set of data with quasi-simultaneous RXTE and INTEGRAL
high-energy and/or Ryle radio observations from public archives. We then
studied the mid-infrared environment and activities of GRS 1915+105 through
spectral analysis and broad band fitting of its radio to X-ray spectral energy
distributions. We detected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules in all but
one IRS spectra of GRS 1915+105 which unambiguously proves the presence of a
dust component, likely photoionised by the high-energy emission. We also argue
that this dust is distributed in a disc-like structure heated by the companion
star, as observed in some Herbig Ae/Be and isolated cool giant stars. Moreover,
we show that some of the soft X-ray emission emanating from the inner regions
of the accretion disc is reprocessed and thermalised in the outer part. This
leads to a mid-infrared excess that is very likely correlated to the soft X-ray
emission. We exclude thermal bremsstrahlung as contributing significantly in
this spectral domain.Comment: 46 pages, 6 tables, 6 figures, accepted in Ap
Spectral Components of SS 433
We present results from new optical and UV spectroscopy of the unusual binary
system SS 433, and we discuss the relationship of the particular spectral
components we observe to the properties of the binary. (1) The continuum
spectrum which we associate with flux from the super-Eddington accretion disk
and the dense part of its wind. (2) H-alpha moving components which are formed
far from the binary orbital plane in the relativistic jets. (3) H-alpha and He
I "stationary" emission lines which we suggest are formed in the disk wind in a
volume larger than the dimensions of the binary. (4) A weak "stationary"
emission feature we identify as a C II 7231,7236 blend that attains maximum
radial velocity at the orbital quadrature of disk recession. (5) Absorption and
emission features from outflowing clumps in the disk wind (seen most clearly in
an episode of blue-shifted Na I emission). (6) We found no clear evidence of
the absorption line spectrum of the optical star, although we point out the
presence of He I absorption features (blended with the stationary emission)
with the expected radial velocity trend at the orbital and precessional phases
when the star might best be seen. (7) A rich interstellar absorption spectrum
of diffuse interstellar bands. The results suggest that the binary is embedded
in an expanding thick disk (detected in recent radio observations) which is fed
by the wind from the super-Eddington accretion disk.Comment: Submitted to Ap
