In this paper we investigate the X-ray and optical emissions from the source OGLE64 based on archival Chandra and Swift X-ray data and our optical observations with the 6-m BTA telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. OGLE64 shows an X-ray luminosity (L_{X}approx 1.6times 10^{32}) erg s({}^{-1}) and a high X-ray-to-optical flux ratio (F_{X}/F_{textrm{opt}}approx 1.5) typical for accreting white dwarfs. The X-ray spectrum of OGLE64 is better fitted by the models of a power law with a photon index (Gammaapprox 1.9) and an optically thin plasma with a temperature (kTapprox 6.4) keV. The optical spectrum shows hydrogen and neutral helium emission lines in some of which a double-peaked structure is observed. An analysis of the outburst activity of OGLE64 based on data from the OGLE, ZTF, ATLAS, and ASAS-SN optical surveys has revealed superoutbursts with a characteristic supercycle (P_{textrm{super}}approx 400) days. We found no significant variability in either the X-ray or optical light curves of OGLE64 that could be associated with the change in the visibility conditions for the emitting regions at different orbital phases. Our estimates of the orbital period of the system by indirect methods show that the period probably lies in the range (P_{textrm{orb}}sim 1.5{-}3.5) h. The properties of the X-ray and optical emissions from OGLE64 lead us to conclude that the system is an SU UMa-type dwarf nova.","PeriodicalId":55443,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy Letters-A Journal of Astronomy and Space Astrophysics","volume":"50 11","pages":"676 - 686"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688620","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}

Based on the analysis of long-term variability, it is concluded that the object belongs to WZ Sge type stars. The light curves show eclipses recurring with an orbital period of (86.32048pm 0.00005) min, as well as an out-of-eclipse variability with a period of ({approx}6.45) min. The latter period is stable for ({sim}4) years and appears to correspond to the rotation of a magnetic white dwarf, i.e., Gaia 19cwm is an intermediate polar. The Gaia 19cwm spectra show photospheric lines of the white dwarf, and Doppler tomograms demonstrate the presence of an accretion disk and a hot spot. Analysis of the eclipse light curve gives an estimates of the white dwarf mass (M_{1}=0.66pm 0.06)\u0000 (M_{odot}), the donor mass (M_{2}=0.073pm 0.015)\u0000 (M_{odot}), and the orbital inclination (i=83.8^{circ}pm 1.1^{circ}). Modeling of the spectral energy distribution gives the white dwarf temperature of (T_{textrm{eff}}approx 13,000) K.

PBHs can be part of the dark matter, the seeds of supermassive black holes, and the sources of Hawking radiation, which, in contrast to the radiation from other black holes, can be observable. At the same time, under conditions of the evolution of the Universe from the Big Bang to the present day, PBHs lose most of their mass in the form of neutrino emission. This is because for black holes with (M<10^{23}) g, apart from the emission of massless particles, the emission of the lightest massive particle, the neutrino, is added. Moreover, this emission turns out to be dominant, and since only black holes with masses ({lesssim}10^{15}) g have evaporated significantly by the present time ((t_{0}=13.8) Gyr), the neutrino component dominates in the overall emission spectrum of PBHs. In this paper we present new estimates of the spectra of neutrinos emitted by PBHs of various masses, focusing attention on the low-energy ((mathbf{E}_{textrm{kin}}in[0.01{-}1]) eV) emission for the first time. As a result of our calculations, we have shown that black holes in the range of masses ([10^{9}{-}10^{11}]) g emit neutrinos with an intensity exceeding the background fluxes from known astrophysical sources in the low-energy range, while in the high-energy range the emission will be under the background without coming into conflict with observational constraints. These results open up new opportunities for the potential observation of emission from PBHs and can stimulate the development of neutrino detection technologies in the low-energy range. The observation of neutrinos in this range is one of the few possibilities to confirm the existence of Hawking radiation.","PeriodicalId":55443,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy Letters-A Journal of Astronomy and Space Astrophysics","volume":"50 11","pages":"649 - 656"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688621","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}

Since relativistic cosmic rays produce both positrons and gamma rays and the flux of the latter is limited by observations, we consider sub-relativistic particles. Particles with energies below the threshold of charged pions production can generate positrons in two processes: direct pair production in electromagnetic interactions (ultraperipheral collisions) and by production of unstable isotopes by spallation and proton capture. Cross-sections of these processes are very small at non-relativistic energies and rapidly increase with particles velocities. Optimal protons velocities are about (0.1{-}0.3) of luminal velocity. In this velocity range, the cross-sections are high enough while gamma rays production is low. Thus, to produce positrons a special class of cosmic ray sources is necessary. These sources should produce large amount of sub-relativistic particles in the specified velocity range. We consider fast blue optical transients and stellar tidal disruptions by central black hole as these type of sources. Characteristic outflow velocities in these objects are of order of tenth of luminal velocity. If acceleration of relativistic particles in these outflows is low enough, they can produce the required amount of positrons. We also show that energy produced by stellar tidal disruptions events is large enough to produce the required amount of positrons.","PeriodicalId":55443,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy Letters-A Journal of Astronomy and Space Astrophysics","volume":"50 10","pages":"593 - 599"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521752","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}

Softening of the X-ray spectrum and disappearance of the pulsations at a later stages of the outburst tentatively indicates that the source transitioned to the ‘‘propeller’’ state at luminosity about (10^{36}) erg s({}^{-1}), which corresponds to a magnetic field strength of (Blesssim 10^{12}) G at the neutron star surface. We also investigated the fast X-ray variability that was observed during the peak of 2003 outburst. The shape of the power spectrum could be described with a broken power law, with a break frequency of 7.5 Hz. Assuming that this frequency corresponds to a viscous frequency at a magnetospheric boundary we estimated magnetic field strength as (Bapprox 7times 10^{11}) G, which is similar to the estimate obtained from observed transition to the ‘‘propeller’’ regime.","PeriodicalId":55443,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy Letters-A Journal of Astronomy and Space Astrophysics","volume":"50 10","pages":"600 - 607"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521702","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}
