    Hypothesis about Enrichment of Solar System

    Full text link
    Despite significant progress in the understanding of galactic nucleosynthesis and its influence on the solar system neighborhood, challenges remain in the understanding of enrichment of the solar system itself. Based on the detailed review of multi-disciplinary literature, we propose a scenario that an event of nucleogenesis -- not nucleosynthesis (from lower nucleon numbers A to higher A) but nuclear-fission (from higher A to lower A) -- occurred in the inner part of the solar system at one of the stages of its evolution. We propose a feasible mechanism of implementation of such event. The occurrence of such event could help explain the puzzles in yet-unresolved isotopic abundances, certain meteoritic anomalies, as well as peculiarities in the solar system's composition and planetary structure. We also discuss experimental data and available results from existing models (in several relevant sub-fields) that provide support and/or appear consistent with the hypothesis.Comment: 73 pages, 31 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1610.07202, arXiv:1109.3432, arXiv:1302.6530 by other author

    Tsunami generation by ocean floor rupture front propagation: Hamiltonian description

    Get PDF
    The Hamiltonian method is applied to the problem of tsunami generation caused by a propagating rupture front and deformation of the ocean floor. The method establishes an alternative framework for analyzing the tsunami generation process and produces analytical expressions for the power and directivity of tsunami radiation (in the far-field) for two illustrative cases, with constant and gradually varying speeds of rupture front propagation

    Constrained Reductions of 2D dispersionless Toda Hierarchy, Hamiltonian Structure and Interface Dynamics

    Full text link
    Finite-dimensional reductions of the 2D dispersionless Toda hierarchy, constrained by the ``string equation'' are studied. These include solutions determined by polynomial, rational or logarithmic functions, which are of interest in relation to the ``Laplacian growth'' problem governing interface dynamics. The consistency of such reductions is proved, and the Hamiltonian structure of the reduced dynamics is derived. The Poisson structure of the rationally reduced dispersionless Toda hierarchies is also derivedComment: 18 pages LaTex, accepted to J.Math.Phys, Significantly updated version of the previous submissio

    Hot super-dense compact object with particular EoS

    We show the possibility of existence of a self-gravitating spherically-symmetric equilibrium configuration for a neutral matter with neutron-like density, small mass M≪M⊙, and small radius R≪R⊙. We incorporate the effects of both the special and general theories of relativity. Such object may be formed in a cosmic cataclysm, perhaps an exotic one. Since the base equations of hydrostatic equilibrium are completed by the equation of state (EoS) for the matter of the object, we offer a novel, interpolating experimental data from high-energy physics, EoS which permits the existence of such compact system of finite radius. This EoS model possesses a critical state characterized by density ρ_c and temperature T_c. For such an object, we derive a radial distribution for the super-dense matter in “liquid” phase using Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equations for hydrostatic equilibrium. We demonstrate that a stable configuration is indeed possible (only) for temperatures smaller than the critical one. We derive the mass-radius relation (adjusted for relativistic corrections) for such small (M≪M⊙M≪M⊙) super-dense compact objects. The results are within the constraints established by both heavy-ion collision experiments and theoretical studies of neutron-rich matter

    Some estimates on the space scales of vortex pairs emitted from river mouths

    Get PDF
    International audienceTwo-dimensional vortex pairs are frequently observed in geophysical conditions, for example, in a shelf zone of the ocean near river mouths. The main aims of the work are to estimate the space scales of such vortex structures, to analyze possible scenarios of vortex pair motion and to give the qualitative classification of their trajectories. We discuss some features of the motion of strong localized vorticity concentrations in a given flow in the presence of boundaries. The analyses are made in the framework of a 2D point vortex mo-del with an open polygonal boundary. Estimations are made for the characteristic parameters of dipole vortex structures emitted from river mouths into the open ocean

    We consider accretion-caused deceleration of a gravitationally-powerful compact stellar object traveling within a cold Fermi-gas medium. We provide analytical and numerical estimates of the effect manifestation

    Relativistic Motion of Stars Near Rotating Black Hole

    Full text link
    Formulation of the Lagrangian approach is presented for studying features of motions of stellar bodies with non-zero rest mass in the vicinity of fast-spinning black holes. The structure of Lagrangian is discussed. The general method is applied to description of body motion in the Kerr model of space-time to transition to the problem of tidal disruption of elastic bodies by strong gravitational field

    CLINICAL AND PATHOMORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF ACUTE HEAD INJURY IN ADULT AND OLD AGE

    Get PDF
    The authors performed a clinico-morphological comparison in 377 patients aged over 60 years who deceased after acute head injury. Patients1 histories and findings from medico-legal expert examinations were examined. The specific etiopathogenetic features determining the peculiar dynamics and the number of patients according to the kind and nature of the injury were emphasized. The authors established a higher incidence rate of the open acute head injury, subperiostal haematomas and calvaria and skull base fractures not seldomly accompanied by intracranial haematomas some of which remained undiagnosed while still living. The clinical course of the trauma and the structure of macroscopic and microscopic morphological alterations were analyzed. Their multiple appearance was outlined. The kind and severity of the accompanying diseases and traumatic lesions as well as the main reasons for death in this patients' contingent were studied
