On the Horizon Limits for Detection of Gravitational Waves from a Pulsar Kick
2011-01-01

Pulsar kicks are produced when a type Ia supernova occurs with a neutron star core remnant. The neutron star is then given a kick, a back-reaction of the supernova explosion. There are three main types of mechanisms which can produce this kick: a hydrodynamical mechanism, a magnetic-neutrino driven mechanism, and an electromagnetic mechanism. Based on ...

Response of soleus Ia afferents to vibration in the presence of the tonic vibration reflex in the decerebrate cat

1. Micro-electrode recordings were made from single Ia afferents in the intact nerve to the soleus muscle in the decerebrate cat while the muscle was developing a tonic vibration reflex. This was done in order to test how effectively the afferents were excited by the vibration, and to see if any insecurity in driving might be related to tremor. 2. When the amplitude of ...

Starting Models in FLASH for Calculations of Type Ia Supernovae

Type Ia supernovae are thought to be the result of a thermonuclear explosion in a white dwarf that is approaching the Chandrasekhar mass limit. The properties of the supernova explosion, including its energy, depends significantly on the way in which the thermonuclear runaway begins. Where in the white dwarf ignition takes place, and how many ignition points there are, are ...
