Alpha is entirely visible only in the WAC images, while the NAC is expected to reveal surface details. Beta seems relatively small in the WAC images, whereas we obtain a broad view from the NAC at 100 km distance. Gamma, smaller than Beta, should provide more detailed images through the NAC, whereas the WAC images should be able to show its inclined orbit around Alpha. To see Gamma behind Alpha in its revolution movement, we would have to elevate the camera's orbit.

As a result, thermal conduction as a diffusion process can transfer the heat by electrons in a collisionless magnetized plasma. While most of the previous analytical studies consider the azimuthal viscosity, the recent studies indicated that the radial viscosity strongly affects the properties of the advection dominated accretion discs. So, in this paper, we explore the roles of two parts of anisotropic thermal conduction (parallel and perpendicular) and radial viscosity in the hot accretion disc by considering axisymmetric and steady state assumptions in the presence of outflows that can transport energy from accretion disc outward. We use the set of self-similar solutions to solve the basic equations in our present model. Our solutions reveal that transverse thermal conduction as a cooling mechanism, leads to reductions in gas temperature, disc thickness, and accretion velocity of the disc, whereas the disc rotates at a fast rate. Moreover Our solutions indicate that the perpendicular thermal conduction and the radial viscosity have opposite behavior in the physical variables of the disc. Also, our results have indicated that the anisotropic thermal conduction is significant in the parameter space of radial viscosity, outflow in the regions that the physical constraints <span><math><mrow><msub><mrow><mi>t</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>i</mi><mi>n</mi></mrow></msub><mo>≥</mo><msub><mrow><mi>t</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>⊥</mo><mo>,</mo><mi>c</mi><mi>o</mi><mi>n</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></math></span> and <span><math><mrow><msub><mrow><mi>q</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>∥</mo><mo>,</mo><mi>c</mi><mi>o</mi><mi>n</mi></mrow></msub><mo>⩽</mo><msub><mrow><mi>q</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>⊥</mo><mo>,</mo><mi>c</mi><mi>o</mi><mi>n</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></math></span> are satisfied.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54727,"journal":{"name":"New Astronomy","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 102276"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141696176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Later there were performed studies on how the hypothetical decay of neutrons would affect neutron stars. Recently it was shown that with the allowance for the second solution of Dirac equation for hydrogen atoms, the theoretical branching ratio (BR) for the two-body decay of neutrons (compared to their three-body decay) is amplified by a factor of 3300 from 0.000004. So, the BR becomes about 1.3% in the excellent agreement with the “experimental” BR = (1.15 ± 0.27)% required for reconciling the two distinct experimental values of the neutron lifetime: one from the beam experiments, another from the trap experiments. This meant that the two-body decay of neutrons in the beam experiments (that count only the protons) plays a much more sizable part in the overestimation of the lifetime of neutrons in these experiments than previously thought. Hydrogen atoms corresponding to the second solution of Dirac equations are called the second flavor of hydrogen atoms (SFHA) by the analogy with the flavors of quarks. The existence of the SFHA is evidenced by four different types of atomic/molecular experiments. The primary feature of the SFHA is that due to having only the s-states, they do not emit or absorb the electromagnetic radiation (except for the 21 cm line): they are practically <em>dark</em>. The SFHA became a candidate for a part of DM for the first time after the SFHA-based successful qualitative and quantitative explanation of the perplexing observation by Bowman et al. of the anomalous absorption in the redshifted 21 cm line from the early Universe. In the present paper we analyzed how this neutron decay into the SFHA affects neutron stars. We showed that old neutron stars could very slowly generate the new <em>specific, described in detail</em> baryonic DM in the form of the SFHA. Some old neutron stars would release it into their tiny atmospheres, while some other old neutron stars would release it into the interstellar medium. Besides, mergers of a neutron star with another neutron star or with a black hole, accompanied by the ejection of neutron-rich material, can also lead to the formation of SFHA as the ejecta cools down. This is another interesting aspect of the multi-messenger astronomy focused on studying these mergers through the gravitational waves they generate. These mechanisms of generating new baryonic DM in the universe should have the fundamental importance. We point out the indirect observational evidence of the continuing generation of new baryonic DM. We hope that our results will stimulate a further research in this direction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54727,"journal":{"name":"New Astronomy","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 102275"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141587750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
