Region of the anomalous compression under Bondi-Hoyle accretion
We investigate the properties of an axisymmetric non-magnetized gas flow
without angular momentum on a small compact object, in particular, on a
Schwarzschild black hole in the supersonic region near the object; the velocity
of the object itself is assumed to be low compared to the speed of sound at
infinity. First of all, we see that the streamlines intersect (i.e., a caustic
forms) on the symmetry axis at a certain distance from the center on the
front side if the pressure gradient is neglected. The characteristic radial
size of the region, in which the streamlines emerging from the sonic surface at
an angle no larger than to the axis intersect, is To refine the flow structure in this region, we numerically
compute the system in the adiabatic approximation without ignoring the
pressure. We estimate the parameters of the inferred region with anomalously
high matter temperature and density accompanied by anomalously high energy
release.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Limit theorems for random point measures generated by cooperative sequential adsorption
We consider a finite sequence of random points in a finite domain of a
finite-dimensional Euclidean space. The points are sequentially allocated in
the domain according to a model of cooperative sequential adsorption. The main
peculiarity of the model is that the probability distribution of a point
depends on previously allocated points. We assume that the dependence vanishes
as the concentration of points tends to infinity. Under this assumption the law
of large numbers, the central limit theorem and Poisson approximation are
proved for the generated sequence of random point measures.Comment: 17 page
Critical Dynamics of Self-Organizing Eulerian Walkers
The model of self-organizing Eulerian walkers is numerically investigated on
the square lattice. The critical exponents for the distribution of a number of
steps () and visited sites () characterizing the process of
transformation from one recurrent configuration to another are calculated using
the finite-size scaling analysis. Two different kinds of dynamical rules are
considered. The results of simulations show that both the versions of the model
belong to the same class of universality with the critical exponents

Prompt emission from tidal disruptions of white dwarfs by intermediate mass black holes
We present a qualitative picture of prompt emission from tidal disruptions of white dwarfs (WD) by intermediate mass black holes (IMBH). The smaller size of an IMBH compared to a supermassive black hole and a smaller tidal radius of a WD disruption lead to a very fast event with high peak luminosity. Magnetic field is generated in situ following the tidal disruption, which leads to effective accretion. Since large-scale magnetic field is also produced, geometrically thick super-Eddington inflow leads to a relativistic jet. The dense jet possesses a photosphere, which emits quasi-thermal radiation in soft X-rays. The source can be classified as a long low-luminosity gamma-ray burst (ll-GRB). Tidal compression of a WD causes nuclear ignition, which is observable as an accompanying supernova. We suggest that GRB060218 and SN2006aj is such a pair of ll-GRB and supernova. We argue that in a flux-limited sample the disruptions of WDs by IMBHs are more frequent then the disruptions of other stars by IMBHs
The mathematical model of the chevron-arch gearing transmitter
The teeth of herringbone transmission wheels are obtained by docking two helical wheels with an opposite arrangement of teeth, which can solve the problem of the axial force. The mathematical model of coupling chevron teeth of the driving wheel in the area of their docking using the arch tooth fragment is developed. The conjugacy area surface of the driven wheel chevron teeth is obtained as the envelope of the surfaces family formed by the arched tooth during the process of the parts motion
Origin of false components of NRM during conventional stepwise thermal demagnetization
© 2017 Many Permian-Triassic dolerite samples from the Siberian Trap Large Igneous Province exposed to conventional stepwise thermal demagnetization at 250-450 °C display mid-temperature remanence (MTC) directed opposite to the high-temperature NRM component. Alternating field (A.C.) demagnetization fails to isolate the antipodal component, but it appears during continuous thermal demagnetization, though in a different temperature range. Laboratory experiments and simulations prove that MTC remanence is an artifact resulting from magnetic memory of self-reversing titanomagnetite grains oxidized at low temperature. This effect can deform the results stepwise thermal cleaning and be responsible for misleading patterns of paleomagnetic directions. Given that oxidized titanomagnetite grains are widespread in volcanic rocks, we suggest to identify true paleodirections by combined continuous and stepwise thermal demagnetization. The extension of our model to the case of NRM2 overprint directed at some angle to partially reversed primary NRM1 component accounts for the difference between the results of stepwise and continuous thermal demagnetization observed in samples of the Steens Mountain basalt (USA)
Abelian Sandpile Model on the Husimi Lattice of Square Plaquettes
An Abelian sandpile model is considered on the Husimi lattice of square
plaquettes. Exact expressions for the distribution of height probabilities in
the Self-Organized Critical state are derived. The two-point correlation
function for the sites deep inside the Husimi lattice is calculated exactly.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, source files and some additional information
