We study the effects of large scale magnetic field on the dynamics of charged particles near a rotating black hole. We consider a scenario in which the initially neutral particles on geodesic orbits in the equatorial plane are destabilized by a charging process. Fraction of charged particles are then accelerated out of the equatorial plane and then follow jet-like trajectories with...
As for strong condensed matter, normal nuclei are 2-flavored (u, d), but what if matter is squeezed so great that nuclei come in close contact to form giant strong matter? The latter could be 3-flavored (u, d, s) because of leptonic asymmetry (i.e., electron and positron), since both the strong and the weak interactions play an important role there. Therefore, one should focus on three flavors...
We study in detail the nuclear aspects of a neutron-star merger in which deconfinement to quark matter takes place. For this purpose, we make use of the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) model, an effective relativistic model that includes self-consistent chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement to quark matter and, for this reason, predicts the existence of different degrees of freedom depending...
One of the most important open questions in cosmology today is the understanding of the accelerated expansion of the Universe. Spectroscopic surveys provided a unique opportunity to explore the expansion history of the Universe as well as to measure the growth of structure through the analysis of the large-scale structure in the Universe. Cosmic Acceleration can be explained by either...
We present a brief general view of the issue of neutrons star births and current masses. We argue that there are reasons to expect very massive objects in Nature, in particular those in "spider" binary systems that undergo very long accretion histories. A maximum value of 2.5 $M_{max}$ is obtained directly from the observed mass distribution using a simple Bayesian analysis. This is consistent...
A brief review on algebraic extensions of General Relativity will be given. After a short summary of first attempts by Max Born and Albert Einstein, all possible algebraic extensions will be discussed, with the pseudo-complex extension left as the only viable one, because it does not contain ghost solutions. Some predictions of the pseudo-complex extension are given.
