Dark Mater Compact Stars in Pseudo-Complex General Relativity]{Dark Mater Compact Stars in Pseudo-Complex General Relativity César A. Zen Vasconcellos Instituto de Física Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In the theory of pseudo-complex General Relativity (pc-GR), the field equations have an extra term, associated to the nature of spacetime, of repulsive character, which is believed to halt the gravitational attractive collapse of matter distributions in the evolution process of compact stars. According to Walter Greiner and Peter Hess, this additional term arises from micro-scale phenomena due to vacuum fluctuations which simulate the presence of dark energy in the Universe. In this contribution we explore the presence of this additional term and propose a toy model consisting of dark matter, represented by Standard Model gauge singlets having their origin in a portal model, held together by the presence of the gravitational interaction and superimposed to this (repulsive) background of dark energy forming a type of unconventional and non-luminous star. The combination of these two ingredients, gravitational attraction and dark energy repulsion, allows in thesis the hydrostatic equilibrium condition of the star to hold. Solving the corresponding field equations and the TOV equations, and assuming that the fluid components interact only gravitationally, we determine the hydrostatic equilibrium equations of the star composed only by dark matter and dark energy, a rare compact object formed solely by exotic content. We them analyze the corresponding results obtained for the equation of state and for the mass-radius relations and we them determine the maximum mass of the exotic star for different parameter configurations..

Abstract All rights reserved Most galactic nuclei harbor a massive black hole (MBH), whose birth and evolution are closely linked to those of its host galaxy. The unique conditions near the MBH: high velocity and density in the steep po- tential of a massive singular relativistic object, lead to unusual modes of stellar birth, evolution, dynamics and death. A complex network of dynamical mechanisms, operating on multiple timescales, deﬂect stars arXiv:1701.04762v1 [astro-ph.GA] 17 Jan 2017 to orbits that intercept the MBH. Such close encounters lead to ener- getic interactions with observable signatures and consequences for the evolution of the MBH and its stellar environment. Galactic nuclei are astrophysical laboratories that test and challenge our understanding of MBH formation, strong gravity, stellar dynamics, and stellar physics. I review from a theoretical perspective the wide range of stellar phe- nomena that occur near MBHs, focusing on the role of stellar dynamics near an isolated MBH in a relaxed stellar cusp.

Bursts of Gravitational Waves Due to Crustquake from Pulsars
J. Astrophys. Astr. (0000) 000: #### DOI Bursts of Gravitational Waves due to Crustquake from Pulsars Biswanath Layek1,* and Pradeepkumar Yadav1 1Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani Campus Pilani, Jhunjhunu 333031, Rajasthan, India *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. We revisit here a possibility of generation of gravitational wave (GW) bursts due to a very quick change in the quadrupole moment (QM) of a deformed spheroidal pulsar as a result of crustquake. Since it was originally proposed as a possible explanation for sudden spin-up (glitch) of pulsars, the occurrence of crustquake and it’s various consequences have been studied and discussed quite often in the literature. Encouraged by recent development in gravitational wave (GW) astronomy, we re-investigate the role of crustquake in the emission of GWs. Assuming exponential decay of excitation caused by crustquake, we have performed a Fourier analysis to estimate the GW strain amplitude h(t), characteristic signal amplitude hc( f ) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the burst for the Crab pulsar. For exotic quark stars, multifold enhancement of these quantities are expected, which might make quark star a potential source of gravitational waves. The absence of such bursts may put several constraints on pulsars and such hypothetical stars. Keywords. Neutron Star, Pulsar, Crustquake, Gravitational wave. 1.

AM Herculis, June 2001 Variable Star of the Month Variable Star of the Month
AAVSO: AM Herculis, June 2001 Variable Star Of The Month Variable Star Of The Month June, 2001: AM Herculis (1813+49) A man’s friends are his magnetisms. Emerson. Conduct of Life: Fate The exotic star AM Herculis is the namesake of the “AM Her stars” or “polars”, a unique class of cataclysmic variables in which the magnetic field of the primary star (white dwarf) completely dominates the accretion flow of the system. With the discovery of AM Her comes the discovery of “polars” and a lesson learned that even familiar objects will reveal exciting discoveries if they are approached in the correct way. AM Her was discovered in 1923 by M. Wolf in Heidelberg, Germany during a routine search for variable stars. It was then listed in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars as an irregular variable with a range from 12th to 14th magnitude. The listing remained as such until 1976, when the true complexities of AM Her were finally revealed. Berg & Duthie of the University of Rochester (1977) initially suggested that AM Her could be the optical Artistic impression of an AM Her system.

Secondary Component of Gravitational-Wave Signal GW190814 As an Anisotropic Neutron Star
Secondary component of gravitational-wave signal GW190814 as an anisotropic neutron star Zacharias Roupas1 1Centre for Theoretical Physics, The British University in Egypt, Sherouk City 11837, Cairo, Egypt Abstract The gravitational-wave signal GW190814 involves a compact object with mass (2.50 − 2.67)M⊙ within the so-called low mass gap. As yet, a general consensus on its nature, being a black hole, a neutron star or an exotic star, has not been achieved. We investigate the possibility this compact object to be an anisotropic neutron star. Anisotropies in a neutron star core arise naturally by effects such as superfluidity, hyperons, strong magnetic fields and allow the maximum mass to exceed that of the ideally isotropic stars. We consider the Krori-Barua ansatz to model an anisotropic core and constrain the equation of state with LIGO/Virgo observations GW170817 and GW190814. We find that the GW190814 secondary component can be an anisotropic neutron star compatible with LIGO/Virgo constraints if the radius attains a value in the range (13.2 − 14.0) km with the anisotropic core’s boundary density in the range (3.5 − 4.0) · 1014g/cm3. 1 Introduction The LIGO/Virgo Collaboration announced recently the observation of a merger of a black hole with +1.1 +0.08 mass 23.2−1.0M⊙ with a compact object with mass 2.59−0.09M⊙ [1]. The mass of the secondary component lies within the so-called low mass gap [2–4]. Theoretical and observational evidence suggest that black holes of mass less than ∼ 5M⊙ may not be produced by stellar evolution [2,3,5].

View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Kazan Federal University Digital Repository Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 2013 vol.88 N4 Structure of neutron, quark, and exotic stars in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity Harko T., Lobo F., Mak M., Sushkov S. Kazan Federal University, 420008, Kremlevskaya 18, Kazan, Russia Abstract We consider the structure and physical properties of specific classes of neutron, quark, and "exotic" stars in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld (EiBI) gravity. The latter reduces to standard general relativity in vacuum, but presents a different behavior of the gravitational field in the presence of matter. The equilibrium equations for a spherically symmetric configuration (mass continuity and Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff) are derived, and their solutions are obtained numerically for different equations of state of neutron and quark matter. More specifically, stellar models, described by the stiff fluid, radiationlike, polytropic and the bag model quark equations of state are explicitly constructed in both general relativity and EiBI gravity, thus allowing a comparison between the predictions of these two gravitational models. As a general result it turns out that for all the considered equations of state, EiBI gravity stars are more massive than their general relativistic counterparts. Furthermore, an exact solution of the spherically symmetric field equations in EiBI gravity, describing an exotic star, with decreasing pressure but increasing energy density, is also obtained. As a possible astrophysical application of the obtained results we suggest that stellar mass black holes, with masses in the range of 3.8M and 6M, respectively, could be in fact EiBI neutron or quark stars.

Copernicus Astronomical Center, Rabiańska 8, 87-100, Toruń, Poland 4Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA CK Vulpeculae or Nova Vul 1670 is the oldest catalogued nova variable, first observed in 16701. Recently, doubts have been raised on this object being a genuine nova and a similarity to red transients – a newly recognized class of exploding stars – has been suggested 2-4. Those stars have been proven to explode in an act of stellar coalescence5. Here, we report radio- and submillimetre-wavelength observations that reveal surprisingly chemically rich molecular gas and dust associated with CK Vul. The inventory of molecules indicates an environment enhanced in nitrogen and characterised by very peculiar isotopic ratios of the C, N, and O elements. Such chemical composition cannot be reconciled with a nova nor any other known type of explosion. Also, the derived mass of the cool material is too high for a nova. The molecular emission arises from an envelope and bipolar lobes similar to those observed in some preplanetary nebulae which are suspected form in explosion events6,7. Yet, a low luminosity of the CK-Vul remnant and its chemical composition stand in clear contrast to those evolved objects.
