AbstractAccording to the standard model, millisecond pulsars are the descendants of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB). The importance of this formation route has, however, been questioned by several authors on different grounds. This paper critically reviews the arguments and assumptions underlying the standard model. The kinematic properties of the LMXB and millisecond pulsar populations are compared, and are found to be compatible. This provides an additional argument in favour of the standard model.

A sterile neutrino is a well-motivated and widely studied dark matter (DM) candidate. The most straightforward realization of sterile neutrino DM, through the Dodelson–Widrow (DW) mechanism, is now ruled out by a combination of X-ray and Lyman-[Formula: see text] measurements. An alternative production mechanism that is becoming increasingly popular in the literature is the freeze-in mechanism, involving frameworks where a feeble coupling to a particle — usually a scalar beyond the Standard Model — in the thermal bath results in a gradual accumulation of the sterile neutrino DM abundance. This paper reviews the various motivations for realizing such frameworks in the literature, their common characteristic features and phenomenological signatures.

In juxtaposition with the standard model of rotation-powered pulsar, the model of vibration-powered magnetar undergoing quake-induced torsional Alfvén vibrations in its own ultrastrong magnetic field experiencing decay is considered. The presented line of argument suggests that the gradual decrease of frequencies (lengthening of periods) of long-periodic-pulsed radiation detected from a set of X-ray sources can be attributed to magnetic-field-decay-induced energy conversion from seismic vibrations to magnetodipole radiation of quaking magnetar.

At the 1958 meeting of our society, then known as EMSA, the author introduced the concept of microspace and suggested its use to provide adequate information storage space and the use of electron microscope techniques to provide storage and retrieval access. At this current meeting of MSA, he wishes to suggest an additional use of the power of the electron microscope.The author has been contemplating this new use for some time and would have suggested it in the EMSA fiftieth year commemorative volume, but for page limitations. There is compelling reason to put forth this suggestion today because problems have arisen in the “Standard Model” of particle physics and funds are being greatly reduced just as we need higher energy machines to resolve these problems. Therefore, any techniques which complement or augment what we can accomplish during this austerity period with the machines at hand is worth exploring.

Put simply, Lisa Randall’s job is to figure out how the universe works, and what it’s made of. Her contributions to theoretical particle physics include two models of space-time that bear her name. The first Randall–Sundrum model addressed a problem with the Standard Model of the universe, and the second concerned the possibility of a warped additional dimension of space. In this work, we caught up with Randall to talk about why she chose a career in physics, where she finds inspiration, and what advice she’d offer budding physicists. This article has been edited for clarity. My favourite quote in this interview is, “Figure out what you enjoy, what your talents are, and what you’re most curious to learn about.” If you insterest in her work, you can contact her on Twitter @lirarandall.
