Astrophysical boosters

Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, 1984
Constraints are derived on the acceleration of charges in shocks to highly relativistic energies. When applied to the extended extragalactic radio sources and to the cosmic rays, they cast doubt on the mechanism of ‘in-situ acceleration’, both for energy, entropy and statistical mechanics reasons.

Astrophysical Jets

Science, 1991
Astrophysical jets are linear structures associated with stars and galaxies which span about seven orders of magnitude in size; the largest jets emanating from galaxies are about 100 times the size of our galaxy and are the largest single objects in the universe.

Astrophysical Cosmology

2009
The previous chapter was devoted to the main observational evidence on the basis of our comprehension of the Universe and to their main theoretical implications. Some theoretical and phenomenological topics of particular relevance for current cosmology with clear observational counterparts are rediscussed here, with a better attention to the ...

NUCLEAR ASTROPHYSICS

Theoretical Nuclear Physics in Italy, 2003
In this report I will try to illustrate some of the main research themes and hot topics in nuclear astrophysics. The particular aim of the present report is to briefly illustrate the research activities, in the field of nuclear astrophysics, performed by the Italian nuclear physicist community within the "Programma di Ricerca di Interesse Nazionale su ...

Computational Astrophysics

2008 22nd International Symposium on High Performance Computing Systems and Applications, 2008
Summary form only given. Large-scale computation has achieved a pivotal role in many areas of astrophysics and cosmology. Not only does increasing computational power allow us to better model the huge range of spatial and temporal scales in the universe, but simulations provide in many cases the only laboratory in which we may actively experiment on ...

The astrophysics of crowded places

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2002
Today the Sun is in a relatively uncrowded place. The distance between it and the nearest other star is relatively large (about 200,000 times the Earth-Sun distance!). This is beneficial to life on Earth; a close encounter with another star is extremely unlikely. Such encounters would either remove the Earth from its orbit around the Sun or leave it on

Astrophysical Jets

2004
My subject is a topic in astrophysical fluid dynamics; specifically, the behavior of the supersonic jets that are observed to squirt out of the nuclei of active galaxies, compact stellar objects, and proto-stars. Some years ago, I had the good fortune to discuss this topic with Hans Liepmann, who quickly recognized that astrophysical jets pose some ...
