High energy astrophysics and cosmology

Description

Subjects related to pulsars are discussed, taking into account the mass spectrum of pulsars, thermal X-ray emission from isolated older pulsars, the distribution of the magnetic inclination in a pulsar's polar cap model, and a statistical study of pulsar rotational braking. Other topics considered are concerned with compact stars, supernovae, binary systems, accretion disks, black holes, quasars and galaxies, and massive neutrino and cosmology. Attention is given to the Cerenkov microwave line emission of hydroxyl radical, motion and radiation of electrons in inhomogeneous magnetic field, the clustering of matter in a neutrino-dominated universe, the deceleration of the expanding universe, large-scale inhomogeneities in the universe, the nuclear mass of type I Seyfert galaxies, the luminosity evolution of QSOs, black holes and spherically symmetric accretion, the formation of massive white dwarfs in cataclysmic binaries, and neutrino cyclotron radiation from superfluid vortexes in neutron stars
