Influence of scalar field in massive particle motion in JNW spacetime

In this paper, we investigated the motion of massive particles in the presence of scalar and gravitational fields, particularly focusing on the Janis-Newman-Winicour (JNW) naked singularity solution. It is shown that the innermost stable circular orbit radius strongly depends on scalar coupling parameter. Additionally, we explored the radiation reaction effects on particle dynamics, incorporating a reaction term into the motion equations. Numerical simulations indicated minimal impact on particle trajectories from radiation reaction. We also examined the oscillatory motion of particles around compact objects in the JNW spacetime, focusing on radial and vertical oscillations. Our analysis indicated that the scalar field’s coupling parameter and the spacetime deformation parameter n significantly alter the fundamental frequencies of these oscillations. Furthermore, we studied quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) in x-ray binaries, using the relativistic precession model to analyze upper- and lower-frequency relationships. Our results indicated that increasing parameters (n and gs) shifts the frequency ratio of 3∶2 QPOs closer to the naked singularity, with n decreasing and gs increasing both frequencies. Finally, we analyzed QPO data from four selected x-ray binary systems using Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis to constrain JNW parameters. Our findings provided insights into the mass, coupling, and deformation parameter for each system, enhancing our understanding of compact object dynamics in strong gravitational fields.

Accretion tori around rotating neutron stars II. Oscillations and precessions

The four characteristic oscillation frequencies of accretion flows (in addition to the Keplerian orbital frequency) are often discussed in the context of the time variability of black hole and neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). These four frequencies are the frequencies of the axisymmetric radial and vertical epicyclic oscillations, and the frequencies of non-axisymmetric oscillations corresponding to the periastron (radial) and Lense-Thirring (vertical) precessions. In this context, we investigated the effect of the quadrupole moment of a slowly rotating NS and provide complete formulae for calculating these oscillation and precession frequencies, as well as convenient approximations. Simple formulae corresponding to the geodesic limit of a slender torus (and test-particle motion) and the limit of a marginally overflowing torus (a torus exhibiting a critical cusp) are presented, and more general approximate formulae are included to allow calculations for arbitrarily thick tori. We provide the Wolfram Mathematica code used for our calculations together with the C++ and PYTHON codes for calculating the frequencies. Our formulae can be used for various calculations regarding the astrophysical signatures of the NS super-dense matter equation of state. For instance, we demonstrate that even for a given fixed number of free parameters, a model that accounts for fluid flow precession matches the frequencies of twin-peak quasiperiodic oscillations observed in NS LMXBs better than a model that uses geodesic precession.

Finding The Relationship between Pulsation Motion and Hα Emission Lines on γ Cas using Photometric and Spectroscopic Data

Abstract Pulsating stars show variability in brightness due to changes in their volume. There are two types of pulsation/oscillation: radial and non-radial. Radial oscillation keeps the symmetrical shape of the star, while non-radial oscillation does not. We study a pulsating star: γ Cas, classified as a B0.5 IVe variable star because of its pulsations and also an emission star due to the emission lines in its spectra. When a star pulsates, its atmosphere expands and contracts, potentially leading to the formation of shock waves. Observational features such as discontinuities in the radial velocity curve and emission lines support this phenomenon. In this study, we analyse the relationship between pulsation motion and the H α emission lines of γ Cas using photometric and spectroscopic data. Photometric data is obtained from the BRIght Target Explorer (BRITE) catalog, while spectroscopic data comes from the Be Star Spectra (BeSS) catalog. Both datasets cover the same observational dates: August 28 to October 26, 2015. Confirming the pulsation period of γ Cas at 1.21 days, we also discover an added pulsation period of 10 days from photometric data. To confirm this, we examine spectroscopic data from three specific dates: August 28, September 7, and 27, 2015. Notably, the relative flux of the H α emission lines continue to increase, leading us to conclude that these lines are indeed caused by the pulsation of γ Cas.

Dual effect of string cloud and dark matter halos on particle motions, shadows and epicyclic oscillations around Schwarzschild black holes

In this work, we study the particle dynamics, shadows and quasi-periodic oscillations around the Schwarzschild black hole with three different dark matter halos and string cloud parameters. The motion of particles is considered with the string cloud parameter α and investigated for massive and massless particles. The photon orbits and inner stable circular orbits of these black holes are obtained from the effective potential. The black hole shadows are calculated using three different dark matter halos. The shadow radius of these black holes increases compared to a pure Schwarzschild black hole for different values of the string cloud parameter. Further, quasi-periodic oscillations are also discussed in the current analysis. Our study examines how the radial profiles of orbital and radial harmonic oscillation frequencies change with the string cloud parameter. This study examines the major properties of test particle's quasi-periodic oscillations near stable circular orbits in the black hole equatorial plane. Our findings indicate that observational tests for black holes influenced by dark matter halos and cloud strings are also feasible and viable.

Compact dwarfs made of light-quark nuggets

Utilizing an equiparticle model with both linear confinement and leading-order perturbative interactions, we obtain systematically the properties of strangelets and nonstrange quark matter (udQM) nuggets at various baryon (A) and charge (Z) numbers, where the detailed single-quark-energy levels are fixed by solving Dirac equations in mean-field approximation. We then examine the structures of compact dwarfs made of light strangelets or udQM nuggets forming body-centered cubic lattices in a uniform electron background. Despite that the strangelets and udQM nuggets generally become more stable at larger A, the compact dwarfs are still stable since the fusion reactions between those objects do not take place in the presence of a Coulomb barrier, which is similar to the cases of light nuclei in normal white dwarfs. If udQM dwarfs or strangelet dwarfs are covered with normal matter, their masses and radii become larger but do not exceed those of ordinary white dwarfs. Finally, we investigate the radial oscillation frequencies of udQM dwarfs and strangelet dwarfs and find that their frequencies are typically higher than traditional white dwarfs. The stability of compact dwarfs are then analyzed by examining radial oscillation frequencies of the fundamental mode, where compact dwarfs covered by normal matter are still stable.

Prediction of shear stress imposed on alveolar epithelium of healthy and diseased lungs.

Lung alveoli are modeled as spherical caps, lined internally by a thin surfactant-laden liquid film, and the periodic wall shear stress exerted along the epithelium during small-amplitude radial oscillations of their wall is computed. A novel set of boundary conditions, applied at the rim, reveals the dominant role of Marangoni stresses. These stresses develop along the air/liquid interface due to spatial gradients of interfacial surfactant concentration and are transported to the wall by the action of viscosity. The effect of a variety of geometric and functional characteristics, including rim interstitial thickness, alveolar opening angle and liquid film thickness and viscosity, is interrogated, and the results are discussed in relation to the onset and evolution of acute and chronic lung diseases, such as asthmatic attacks, pulmonary emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis.

Compressible effect on the mutual interaction of two cavitation bubbles in radial oscillations and translational motion

In this study, we considered the compressible effect on the mutual interaction of two cavitation bubbles by correcting the sound field emitted by one bubble in the radial equations of the other bubble to first order in the Mach number of the flow, and the effect is represented by the incident wave acting on bubbles. The results illustrates that the incident wave can enhance the resonance response at the redistributed resonance frequency, which leads to an increase in radial acceleration and the secondary Bjerknes force, and rapid approach of bubbles. Furthermore, the influence of incident wave on the interaction of bubbles driven at lower frequencies is more significant, due to resonance enhancement caused by the proximity of natural frequencies and frequency multiplications of the external sound field. Our findings reveal that the compressible effect is not only critical to interaction in radial oscillations, but also in translational motion.

Derivation of analytic formulae for several resonance frequencies of the SparkJet actuator

Building on previous research that emphasized the importance of focusing on resonance frequencies for a fundamental understanding of the thrust and complex internal flow phenomena of the SparkJet actuators, this study theoretically derives analytic formulae for several important resonance frequencies. The research addresses the typical configuration of the SparkJet actuators, which consists of a cylindrical cavity and orifice connected by a conical converging nozzle. While the resonance frequencies of the SparkJet actuators can be obtained by solving the eigenvalue problem presented in previous studies, this eigenvalue problem, despite being a typical boundary value problem in the form of an elliptic partial differential equation, is challenging to solve using conventional numerical methods such as iterative methods, because the eigenvalue is included as an unknown in the operator. Consequently, Boundary Element Method (BEM) or methods using the Green functions have been proposed to obtain numerical solutions, but these still require handling large matrix data, resulting in significant computational costs and memory consumption. To overcome this, the current study first simplifies the eigenvalue problem using the conformal mapping presented in previous research. Then, referencing prior studies that claim that three types of resonance frequencies (Helmholtz resonance frequency and resonance frequencies representing streamwise or radial directional oscillation) significantly affect the thrust of the SparkJet actuators, characteristics of these frequencies are mathematically defined. Using these mathematical characteristics, the study derives the asymptotic and approximate solutions of the simplified eigenvalue problem, from which the resonance frequencies are obtained. The analytic formulae proposed in this study theoretically explain the already known geometric tendencies of the resonance frequencies and reveal new geometric factors influencing resonance frequencies, which were previously unknown. This approach is expected to facilitate obtaining several important resonance frequencies of the SparkJet actuator more promptly and accurately and to provide a deeper understanding of the nature of the complex oscillation phenomena inside the actuator.

On the sausage magnetohydrodynamic waves in magnetic flux tubes: finite plasma beta and phase mixing

Abstract Over the past twenty years, there has been increasing evidence of the existence of sausage waves in the solar atmosphere. These observations make them useful tools in the context of atmospheric seismology. Here, we study sausage magnetohydrodynamic waves in a magnetic flux tube of non-zero plasma beta with a circular cross-section and a radially inhomogeneous plasma density. Solving numerically the equations of motion for an initial value problem, the spatio-temporal evolution of the velocity perturbations is obtained for different sets of parameters. We show that the ratio of the amplitudes of the longitudinal and radial perturbations is determined by the amount of plasma beta. Additionally, the longitudinal component of the velocity perturbation experiences phase-mixing within a layer surrounding the boundary of the flux tube with a rate depending on the amount of plasma beta. The results revealed that in the presence of a non-zero plasma beta, the flux tube exhibits oscillations in both the radial and longitudinal directions, characterized by a combination of two frequencies: one belonging to the slow continuum and the other to the Alfvén continuum. Also, the period of radial oscillation is obtained for different sets of parameters. The dependence of the period of the radial oscillation on the wavenumber confirms the results obtained in previous studies.

Observational signature of QPOs with particle motion around non-commutative Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter

We analyze the orbital and oscillatory motion of test particles in the vicinity of a non-commutative black hole submerged in perfect fluid dark matter and derive analytical solutions for the specific angular momentum and radial profiles of energy. Using the effective potential approach, we discuss the stability of circular orbits. Furthermore, we calculate the innermost stable circular orbits. The effective force acting on particles has also been discussed. We find the expressions for frequencies of radial and latitudinal harmonic oscillations as a function of the black hole mass and the model’s parameters. The key features of quasi-periodic oscillations of test particles near the stable circular orbits in an equatorial plane of the black hole are discussed. Furthermore, Periastron precession has been discussed. We demonstrate that the parameters of the model have a strong influence on particle motion around black holes. By using the observational data of four different X-ray binary systems GRO J1655-40, XTE J1550-564, XTE J1859+226, and GRS 1915+105, within the scope of Monte Carlo Markov Chain, we constrain the involved parameters α and β. It is necessary to mention that our presented investigations through graphical behavior are viable with required physical behavior.

Orbital motion, epicyclic oscillations, and collision of particles around conformally coupled charged black hole

The orbital and oscillatory motion of test particles around a non-rotating, conformally coupled charged black hole with scalar hair is studied in this work. The impact of the black hole parameters on particle motion is investigated. The stable circular orbits, specific angular momentum, and radial profiles with specific energy are computed using an analytical approach. We discuss the stability of circular orbits using the effective potential technique. We also compute the effective force and innermost stable circular orbits around a conformally connected charged black hole with scalar hair. In addition, we display the trajectories of particles around a conformally connected charged black hole with scalar hair and numerically integrate the equations of motion for the test particle. Additionally, we determine the formulae for the frequencies of latitudinal and radial harmonic oscillations about the mass of the black hole and the model’s parameters. The main characteristics of quasi-periodic oscillations close to stable circular orbits in the black hole’s equatorial plane are examined for test particles. Furthermore, the Periastron precession process is explored. We show particle motion around black holes strongly depends on the model parameters. It is important to note that the graphical behavior describing our findings is viable.

Particle dynamics with trajectories and epicyclic oscillations around a piece-wise black hole immersed in dark matter

We investigate the dynamics of neutral test particles revolving around a non-rotating black hole immersed in dark matter DM. We derive exact solutions for the radial profiles of specific angular momentum and energy for equatorial stable circular orbits as a function of the parameters of the black hole. Using the effective potential approach, we explore the stability of these circular orbits and the effective force acting on particles in the presence of dark matter. Additionally, we examine the impact of dark matter on the innermost stable circular orbits. By numerically integrating the equations of motion, we plot the trajectories of particles around the black hole and analyze how dark matter affects these trajectories. We also calculate the analytical frequencies of radial and latitudinal harmonic oscillations as functions of the dark matter parameter for both local and distant observers. We compare these results with scenarios where dark matter is absent. Furthermore, we study the effects of dark matter on periastron precession. We present an analysis of the constraints on the dark matter and black hole mass parameters using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. Our study focuses on QPOs observed in X-ray binaries, in particular, the microquasars GRO J1655-40 and XTE J1550-564, and the centers of the galaxies M82 X-1 and Sgr A⁎. We also analyze the particle collisions, discussing the center-of-mass energy of the colliding particles. Our observations reveal that the motion of particles revolving around the black hole is significantly affected by varying the model parameters.

Numerical investigation of heat transfer characteristics of hydrogen flow in a randomly packed bed

In this study, two randomly packed beds with small tube-to-particle diameter (D/d) ratios of D/d = 4 (PB-4) and D/d = 5 (PB-5) are constructed using the discrete element method (DEM). The pore-scale heat transfer characteristics of hydrogen flow at low pore Reynolds numbers (Rep < 100) are investigated using a DEM-CFD simulation approach, with the temperature-dependent thermo-properties of hydrogen being considered. Distinct local channeling flow patterns are revealed by detailed analyses of the flow fields in PB-4 and PB-5. The overall friction factors for both beds are found to agree well with empirical correlations. Notably, a faster spatial temperature increase is exhibited by PB-5, with a larger D/d ratio, as evidenced by a shorter axial distance for fully-heated hydrogen flow compared to PB-4. For the pore-scale heat transfer in the packed beds, the radial temperature profiles are compared at various heights of the packed beds depending on the radial porosity oscillation, in which the wall effect should be especially considered in the near-wall region. Furthermore, the axial pore-scale Nusselt number (Nup,axial) exhibits an inverse fluctuation with the axial porosity oscillation. Finally, the global Nusselt numbers (Nu) in the packed beds are analyzed under different operating conditions, which are in good agreement with empirical correlations.

Exploring a novel feature of ellis spacetime: Insights into scalar field dynamics

We have studied neutral and charged massive particles dynamics in Ellis spacetime in the presence of the external scalar field. Focusing on the circular motion of massive particles, the impact of an external scalar field on the Innermost Stable Circular Orbit (ISCO) position is analyzed, revealing a non-linear relationship with the scalar field parameter. Perturbation techniques are employed to investigate oscillatory motion near stable orbits in the Ellis spacetime, yielding analytical expressions for radial and angular oscillations. The throat of the wormhole has been constrained by comparing theoretical and observational results for fundamental frequencies of particles from quasars. Finally, scalar and gravitational perturbations in the Ellis spacetime have been studied. It is shown that the equation for the scalar profile function is fully independent from the tensor functions and the solution can be represented in terms of the confluent Heun function. However, it has been shown that equations for the tensor profile functions strongly depend on the scalar profile functions in the Ellis spacetime and they are reduced to the Regge–Wheeler–Zerilli equation. Finally, numerical solutions to the Regge–Wheeler–Zerilli equation for the radial functions in the Ellis have been presented.

Modeling compact objects with quark matter and dark energy: A comparative study of the radial oscillation modes of HESS J1731-347 and PSR J0740+6620

We model the massive pulsar J0740+6620 and the light HESS J1731-347 compact object assuming (i) quark matter and (ii) dark energy stars. Within Einstein’s General Relativity, and assuming objects made of isotropic matter, we adopt analytic equations-of-state for both matter contents. Although the inner composition of the objects is very different in each case, both equations-of-state imply qualitatively very similar mass-to-radius relationships. We compute the spectra of radial equations for all four cases and the corresponding wave functions as well as the large frequency separations. A comparison between the different matter contents is made as well.

Constraints on Schwarzschild-like black hole from QPOs data

The search for compact astrophysical objects, such as black holes and wormholes, along with the testing of gravity theories, are crucial topics in relativistic astrophysics. In this context, theoretical and observational studies of quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) detected in (micro)quasars prove useful for investigating their central object. We explore the massive particle motion around black hole in Schwarzschild-like spacetime and using the equation of motion, the dependence of innermost stable circular orbits (ISCO) on the parameter l was obtained. The frequencies of radial and vertical oscillations of particles around stable circular orbits have been studied and used to explain the mechanism of quasi periodic oscillations in the relativistic precession (RP) model. Using observational data from GRO J1655-40 and XTE J1550-564, we have determined a constraint on the parameter l in Schwarzschild-like spacetime through Monte-Carlo-Markovian-Chain (MCMC) analyses.

Anisotropic dark energy stars within vanishing complexity factor formalism: Hydrostatic equilibrium, radial oscillations, and observational implications

We investigate the structure and radial oscillations of anisotropic compact stars composed of dark energy, using the vanishing complexity factor formalism within general relativity. This novel approach establishes a direct link between the energy density and anisotropic factor, providing a robust framework for studying these exotic stellar objects. Employing an Extended Chaplygin Gas equation of state, we numerically compute interior solutions for both isotropic and anisotropic stars, revealing distinct differences in their properties. Additionally, we examine the oscillation modes and frequencies of these stars, highlighting the impact of anisotropy on their pulsational behaviour. Our results reveal distinct differences in the stellar properties, such as the metric potentials, pressure, speed of sound, and relativistic adiabatic index, between the two cases. Furthermore, we calculate the large frequency separation for the fundamental and first excited modes, offering insights relevant for future asteroseismology studies. Our findings shed light on the complex interplay of gravity, matter, and anisotropy in compact stars, providing a new perspective on dark energy's role in their structure and dynamics.

Orbital motion and epicyclic oscillations around Bardeen black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter

We study the orbital and oscillatory motion of test particles moving around a rotating Bardeen black hole immersed in perfect fluid dark matter. We obtain the analytical solutions for the radial profiles of specific energy as well as the specific angular momentum of the equatorial stable circular orbits. Using the effective potential approach, we also discuss the stability of circular orbits. We compute the frequencies of radial and latitudinal harmonic oscillations as a function of mass, charge, and angular momentum of the black hole as well as the parameter describing the perfect fluid dark matter. The main characteristics of test particle quasi-periodic oscillations near stable circular orbits are examined in the equatorial plane. Furthermore, we study precessions of Periastron and Lense-Thirring. It is observed that the particle's motion around the black hole is strongly influenced by the model parameters.

Radial Oscillations of Strange Quark Stars Admixed with Dark Matter

We investigate the equilibrium structure and radial oscillations of strange quark stars admixed with fermionic dark matter. For strange quark matter, we employ a stiff equation of state from a color-superconductivity improved bag model. For dark matter, we adopt the cold free Fermi gas model. We rederive and numerically solve the radial oscillation equations of two-fluid stars based on general relativity, in which the dark matter and strange quark matter couple through gravity and oscillate with the same frequency. Our results show that the stellar maximum mass and radius are reduced by inclusion of dark matter. As to the fundamental mode of the radial oscillations, the frequency f0 is also reduced comparing to pure strange stars, and f02 reaches the zero point at the maximum stellar mass with dM/dϵq,c=0. Therefore, the stability criteria f02&gt;0 and dM/dϵq,c&gt;0 are consistent in our dark matter-mixed strange quark stars with a fixed fraction of dark matter. We also find a discontinuity of f0 as functions of the stellar mass, in contrast to the continuous function in pure strange stars. And it is also accompanied with discontinuity of the oscillation amplitudes as well as a discontinuous in-phase-to-out-phase transition between oscillations of dark matter and strange quark matter.
