Radio data from the 100-m telescope in Effelsberg, Germany show multiple signatures of an expanding shell.
A second neutron star candidate in another binary studied by Gaia may be (in part) responsible for this shell.
Our results confirm that the LLIV Arch and NCP Loop are components of expanding shells with the mass, age, energy and momentum values that agree with models of aging supernovae.

Gravitational distortion of time helps tell modified gravity apart from a dark force

Wednesday, October 4, 2023

Einstein’s equations described how stars, galaxies and all other matter curve or warp space and time.

Key Points:

Einstein’s equations described how stars, galaxies and all other matter curve or warp space and time.
The galaxies and the light rays then travel in this distorted space-time according to the equation provided by the 18th-century Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler.
But can we differentiate a universe where Einstein’s equations were violated from a universe where Euler’s equation were modified?

A universe filled with unknowns

The reason to put those to the test comes from the fact that our universe is filled with unknowns.
In the 1930s, the Swiss-American astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky observed that there was five times more matter in the universe than we can detect with our telescopes.
Then, in 1998, two groups of astrophysicists observed that the expansion of our universe is accelerating, contrary to the deceleration expected because of the gravitational attraction between galaxies.

Vast distances of the universe

Checking if Einstein’s gravity works over the vast distances of the universe has become an active field of research.
Theoreticians propose new ideas for how gravity could work differently, while astronomers use increasingly advanced facilities to provide the data needed to test them.
The latter would be different if, for example, the dark matter in the galaxies were subject to a new force.

Gravitational slips

To our surprise, while both of us came into this thinking that the answer would be obvious, our initial answers were opposite to each other.
Our conclusion was that, despite the common expectation, measuring the gravitational slip would not allow one to distinguish a modification of Einstein’s laws from a modification of Euler’s equation.
So, if a galaxy were to fall into a gravitational potential in a way that was not consistent with our expectations, we would be unable to tell if it’s because the dark matter is doing something, or because gravity was modified.

Light and gravity

These differences are extremely tiny but are, in fact, very important in the design of satellite navigation systems.
When the light from a galaxy escapes the gravitational potential it is falling into, its colour shifts closer to red.
In time, new technologies will be able to detect the tiny effects of gravitational redshift, and consequently distinguish a modification of Euler’s equation for dark matter from a modification of gravity.

Utopia gone wrong: identity and history intersect in Jenny Erpenbeck’s haunting new novel

Key Points:

It is about chance encounters and finding one’s place in a world on the cusp of disintegration.
Review: Kairos – Jenny Erpenbeck, translated by Michael Hofmann (Granta) Its title is one of two ancient Greek words for time.
Where chronos refers to linear time, kairos refers to the most propitious time for an action or argument.
Erpenbeck’s novel starts with its protagonist Katharina going through two boxes of papers that belonged to Hans, her former lover.
He feels nostalgic for his childhood – a childhood marked by his ignorance of history.

The burden of the past

It is clear that the previous inhabitants of their house had to leave rather quickly.
Six-year-old Hans doesn’t realise they have been given the house of a Jewish family, but the reader cannot help but make this assumption.
This is part of the purity and innocence he finds so desirable in her, physically and emotionally.
It aptly summarises the paradoxical relationship of partitioned and reunified Germany with its Nazi past, which is both distant and omnipresent, almost tangible but not quite.
After Katharina interns at a theatre in Frankfurt, Hans becomes convinced she has had an affair with a colleague named Vadim.

The mirror

This is emphasised in the novel through the idea of reflection and the recurring image of the mirror.
When Katharina visits her family in Cologne, West Germany, she has the following thought:
Each time Katharina is in the bathroom, she walks up to the mirror in the door, and each time she thinks, it’s not Hans’s mirror.
Each time Katharina is in the bathroom, she walks up to the mirror in the door, and each time she thinks, it’s not Hans’s mirror.
Her almost final sentence is: “If only I’d known then that I was your mirror image.” As Hans’s mirror image, Katharina sees herself on some level as a collaborator and potentially a traitor for adapting her East German identity after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

A search for links between two of the universe's most spectacular phenomena has come up empty – for now

The origin of these “fast radio bursts” is one of the greatest mysteries in astronomy today.

Key Points:

The origin of these “fast radio bursts” is one of the greatest mysteries in astronomy today.
You can take your pick from highly magnetised neutron stars, collisions of incredibly dense stars or many more extreme or exotic phenomena.

Gravitational wave astronomy

Gravitational waves are different: they pass straight through matter, so nothing can really get in their way.
We also have reason to think fast radio bursts may produce gravitational wave signals.

What produces fast radio bursts?

Some fast radio bursts have been seen to repeat, but most are seen as single events.
For the repeating bursts, a recent simultaneous observation of x-rays and a radio burst from a highly magnetised neutron star in our own Milky Way galaxy proves this type of star can produce fast radio bursts.

The CHIME radio telescope

To look for new evidence on what causes fast radio bursts I co-led a targeted search using fast radio bursts detected by a radio telescope called CHIME in Canada.
As the CHIME/FRB project has detected hundreds of fast radio bursts, there’s a good chance of catching one close enough to Earth to be observed by a gravitational wave telescope.
We looked for gravitational wave signals around the sky position of each non-repeating fast radio burst around the time each occurred.

What did we find out?

It was not such a surprise, as we think fast radio bursts are much more common than detectable gravitational wave signals.
In other words, gravitational wave sources would only account for a small fraction of fast radio bursts.

What next?

Gravitational wave detectors have become more sensitive than when we conducted this search, and will continue to improve in the coming years.
We are also targeting future fast radio bursts from the known repeating source in our own galaxy mentioned above.
