    In this paper, the modified entropic force law is studied by using a new kind of generalized uncertainty principle which contains a minimal length, a minimal momentum and a maximal momentum. Firstly, the quantum corrections to the thermodynamics of a black hole is investigated. Then, according to Verlinde's theory, the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) corrected entropic force is obtained. The result shows that the GUP corrected entropic force is related not only to the properties of the black holes, but also to the Planck length and the dimensionless constants α0\alpha _{\rm{0}} and β0\beta _{\rm{0}}. Moreover, based on the GUP corrected entropic force, we also derive the modified Einstein's field equation (EFE) and the modified Friedmann equation.Comment: 16 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1604.0470

    LOWER DEVONIAN (PRAGIAN) BRACHIOPODS FROM THE DASHATIAN SECTION, GUANGXI, SOUTH CHINA

    Lower Devonian brachiopods in South China are very rare since most areas lack deposits owing to an uplift movement of the Guangxi (Caledonian) Orogeny. In this paper, we describe a brachiopod fauna consisting of 13 species in 12 genera from the Nagaoling Formation at the Dashatian section in the suburb area of the Nanning City, Guangxi, South China. This fauna is dominated by small rhynchonellide and spiriferide species, along with chonetidines, strophomenides, atrypides, athyridides and others. The early Pragian age for the brachiopod-bearing horizons in the Nagaoling Formation is constrained by the associated early Pragian conodonts Eognathodus sulcatus Zone. About 33% genera of the brachiopod fauna are endemic to South China, therefore they do not provide any clear evidence for its paleobiogeographical link to the faunas of Europe, Australia, or North America. This fauna is paleoecologically interpreted as being deposited in a shallow, oxygen-rich, low to moderate energy, subtidal palaeoenvironment in the early Pragian and it corresponds to the benthic assemblage BA2 to upper BA

    Photospheric velocity evolution of SN 2020bvc: signature of rr-process nucleosynthesis from a collapsar

    Full text link
    Whether binary neutron star mergers are the only astrophysical site of rapid neutron-capture process (rr-process) nucleosynthesis remains unknown. Collapsars associated with long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and hypernovae are promising candidates. Simulations have shown that outflows from collapsar accretion disks can produce enough rr-process materials to explain the abundances in the universe. However, there is no observational evidence to confirm this result at present. SN 2020bvc is a broad-lined type Ic (Ic-BL) supernova (SN) possibly associated with a low-luminosity GRB. Based on semi-analytic SN emission models with and without rr-process materials, we perform a fitting to the multi-band light curves and photospheric velocities of SN 2020bvc. We find that in a rr-process-enriched model the mixing of rr-process materials slows down the photospheric recession and therefore matches the velocity evolution better. The fitting results show that rr-process materials with mass of ≈0.36 M⊙\approx0.36~M_\odot and opacity of ≈4 cm2 g−1\approx4~\rm cm^2~g^{-1} is needed to mix with about half of the SN ejecta. Our fitting results are weakly dependent on the nebular emission. Future statistical analysis of a sample of type Ic-BL SNe helps us understand the contribution of collapsars to the rr-process abundance.Comment: 16 Pages, 9 Figures, 2 Tables, Accepted by ApJ

    GRB 211211A: a Neutron Star−-White Dwarf Merger?

    Full text link
    The gamma-ray burst GRB 211211A and its associated kilonova-like emission were reported recently. A significant difference between this association event and GRB 170817A/AT 2017gfo is that GRB 211211A has a very long duration. In this paper, we show that this association event may arise from a neutron star−-white dwarf (NS−-WD) merger if a magnetar leaves finally in the central engine. Within the NS−-WD merger, the main burst of GRB 211211A could be produced by magnetic bubble eruptions from toroidal magnetic field amplification of the pre-merger NS. This toroidal field amplification can be induced by the runaway accretion from the WD debris disc if the disc is in low initial entropy and efficient wind. While the extended emission of GRB 211211A is likely involved with magnetic propelling. The observed energetics and duration of the prompt emission of GRB 211211A can be fulfilled in comparison with those of accretion in hydrodynamical thermonuclear simulation, as long as the WD has a mass ≳1M⊙\gtrsim1M_{\odot}. Moreover, if the X-ray plateau in GRB afterglows is due to the magnetar spin-down radiation, GRB optical afterglows and kilonova-like emission can be well jointly modeled combining the standard forward shock with the radioactive decay power of 56Ni^{56}{\rm Ni} adding a rotational power input from the post-merger magnetar.Comment: Accepted by ApJ Letters.

    Generic Friedberg-Lee Symmetry of Dirac Neutrinos

    Full text link
    We write out the generic Dirac neutrino mass operator which possesses the Friedberg-Lee (FL) symmetry and find that its corresponding neutrino mass matrix is asymmetric. Following a simple way to break the FL symmetry, we calculate the neutrino mass eigenvalues and show that the resultant neutrino mixing pattern is nearly tri-bimaximal. Imposing the Hermitian condition on the neutrino mass matrix, we also show that the simplified ansatz is consistent with current experimental data and favors the normal neutrino mass hierarchy.Comment: RevTex4 10 pages, 1 figur

    The title compound, C20H12Cl3N3O2, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-(2-hydroxy­phen­yl)benz[e][1,3]oxazin-4-one with 2,4,6-trichloro­phenyl­hydrazine in ethanol. The trichloro­phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to the triazole plane [dihedral angle 80.56 (8)°], whereas the two hydroxy­phenyl rings are approximately coplanar with the triazole ring [dihedral angles of 2.79 (12) and 8.00 (14)°]. Intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding is observed between the hydroxy­phenyl and triazole rings
