The Magnetic Field

The vorticity propagation equation for a perfect fluid in general relativity is derived in a form which is the same as that of Maxwell's equation for the magnetic field four-vector in relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. Starting from this result, an expression for the change of vorticity during a gravitational collapse is obtained in terms of the spatial geometry, using a procedure similar to that introduced by Cocke (1966) in relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. It is assumed that the equation of state of the fluid is p = 1Xp" where IX is a constant and p, is the total proper energy density. If t < IX :s;; 1, it is found that the vorticity tends to zero during an isotropic collapse, in agreement with a result obtained previously by Ellis (1973) using a different procedure. Nonisotropic collapses are also considered. The dynamical importance of vorticity in a gravitational collapse is examined by considering the behaviour of w2 /p,.

The MHD approximation has been made in general relativity to derive expressions in terms of the fluid's total proper energy density and rest-mass density for the variation in the strength of the magnetic field during the anisotropic gravitational collapse in which the condition ?ab HaHb = 0 holds throughout the collapse, where ?ab is the expansion tensor. The physical significance of this condition is also examined.

We find a family of exact solutions to the Einstein–Maxwell equations for rotating cylindrically symmetric distributions of a perfect fluid with the equation of state p=wρ (|w|<1), carrying a circular electric current in the angular direction. This current creates a magnetic field along the z axis. Some of the solutions describe geometries resembling that of Melvin’s static magnetic universe and contain a regular symmetry axis, while some others (in the case w>0) describe traversable wormhole geometries which do not contain a symmetry axis. Unlike Melvin’s solution, those with rotation and a magnetic field cannot be vacuum and require a current. The wormhole solutions admit matching with flat-space regions on both sides of the throat, thus forming a cylindrical wormhole configuration potentially visible for distant observers residing in flat or weakly curved parts of space. The thin shells, located at junctions between the inner (wormhole) and outer (flat) regions, consist of matter satisfying the Weak Energy Condition under a proper choice of the free parameters of the model, which thus forms new examples of phantom-free wormhole models in general relativity. In the limit w→1, the magnetic field tends to zero, and the wormhole model tends to the one obtained previously, where the source of gravity is stiff matter with the equation of state p=ρ.

In this work, we calculate the neutron anomalous magnetic moment (AMM) supposing that this value can depend on the density and magnetic field of the system. We employ the lowest-order constraint variation (LOCV) method and [Formula: see text] nuclear potential to calculate the medium dependency of the neutron AMM. It is confirmed that the neutron AMM increases by increasing the density, while it decreases as the magnetic field grows. The energy and equation of state for the system have also been investigated.

AbstractThe aim of this work is to examine the hypothesis that the wave propagation time in the solar atmosphere can be used to infer the magnetic topography in the chromosphere as suggested by Finsterle et al. (2004). We do this by using an extension of our earlier 2-D MHD work on the interaction of acoustic waves with a flux sheet. It is well known that these waves undergo mode transformation due to the presence of a magnetic field which is particularly effective at the surface of equipartition between the magnetic and thermal energy density, the β = 1 surface. This transformation depends sensitively on the angle between the wave vector and the local field direction. At the β = 1 interface, the wave that enters the flux sheet, (essentially the fast mode) has a higher phase speed than the incident acoustic wave. A time correlation between wave motions in the non-magnetic and magnetic regions could therefore provide a powerful diagnostic for mapping the magnetic field in the chromospheric network.

The Magnetic Field

We discuss how a magnetic field can affect the equation of state of a many-particle neutron system. We show that, due to the anisotropy in the pressures, the pressure transverse to the magnetic field direction increases with the magnetic field, while the one along the field direction decreases. We also show that in this medium there exists a significant negative field-dependent contribution associated with the vacuum pressure. This negative pressure demands a neutron density sufficiently high (corresponding to a baryonic chemical potential of μ = 2.25 GeV) to produce the necessary positive matter pressure that can compensate for the gravitational pull. The decrease of the parallel pressure with the field limits the maximum magnetic field to a value of the order of 10 18 G, where the pressure decays to zero. We show that the combination of all these effects produces an insignificant variation of the system equation of state. We also found that this neutron system exhibits paramagnetic behavior expressed by the Curie’s law in the high-temperature regime. The reported results may be of interest for the astrophysics of compact objects such as magnetars, which are endowed with substantial magnetic fields.

Abstract We consider the cosmological evolution of a flat anisotropic Universe in f(T) gravity in the presence of a perfect fluid. It is shown that the matter content of the Universe has a significant impact of the nature of a cosmological singularity in the model studied. Depending on the parameters of the f(T) function and the equation of state of the perfect fluid in question the well-known Kasner regime of general relativity can be replaced by a new anisotropic solution, or by an isotropic regime, or the cosmological singularity changes its nature to a non-standard one with a finite values of Hubble parameters. Six possible scenarios of the cosmological evolution for the model studied have been found numerically.

The magnetic field and the relativistic electrons in the Crab Nebula cannot have originated at the time of the supernova explosion. The energy density in the magnetic field is so large that it must have been generated using the energy supply in the pulsar. The energies of the electrons are so high, and their lifetimes correspondingly are so short, that they must have been accelerated, again using the pulsar energy. The efficiency of these processes must be high, but there is an adequate energy supply.

Subsequent Behavior

The behavior of a massive star during its final catastrophic stages of evolution has been investigated theoretically, with particular emphasis upon the effect of electron-type neutrino interactions. The methods of numerical hydrodynamics, with coupled energy transfer in the diffusion approximation, were used. In this respect, this investigation differs from the work of Colgate and White (1964) in which a "neutrino deposition" approximation procedure was used. Gravitational collapse initiated by electron capture and by thermal disintegration of nuclei in the stellar center is examined, and the subsequent behavior does not depend sensitively upon which process causes the collapse.As the density and temperature of the collapsing stellar core increase, the material becomes opaque to electron-type neutrinos and energy is transferred by these neutrinos to regions of the star less tightly bound by gravity. Ejection of the outer layers of the star can result. This phenomenon has been identified with supernovae.Uncertainty concerning the equation of state of a hot, dense nucleon gas causes uncertainty in the temperature of the collapsing matter. This affects the rate of energy transfer by electron-type neutrinos and the rate of energy lost to the star by muon-type neutrinos.The effects of general relativity do not appear to become important in the core until after the ejection of the outer layers.

Plane Gravitational Waves

Colliding plane gravitational waves that lead to the development of a horizon and a subsequent time-like singularity are coupled with an electromagnetic field, a perfect fluid (whose energy density, ∊ , equals the pressure, p ), and null dust (consisting of massless particles). The coupling of the gravitational waves with an electromagnetic field does not affect, in any essential way, the development of the horizon or the time-like singularity if the polarizations of the colliding gravitational waves are not parallel. If the polarizations are parallel, the space-like singularity which occurs in the vacuum is transformed into a horizon followed by a three-dimensional time-like singularity by the merest presence of the electromagnetic field. The coupling of the gravitational waves with an ( ∊ = p )-fluid and null dust affect the development of horizons and singularities in radically different ways: the ( ∊ = p )-fluid affects the development decisively in all cases but qualitatively in the same way, while null dust prevents the development of horizons and allows only the development of space-like singularities. The contrasting behaviours of an ( ∊ = p )-fluid and of null dust in the framework of general relativity is compared with the behaviours one may expect, under similar circumstances, in the framework of special relativity.
