The system of equations for evolution of period and inclination angle with time is given and solved. The solution shows that the period increases, and the inclination angle decreases with time under the braking of magnetic radiation and decay. The numerical results for the

Abstract The work is devoted to the study of the physical libration of the Moon. Interest in the traditional topic related to the rotation of the Moon is stirred up by the activity of many countries regarding the development of circumlunar space. Scientifically, the main agenda is to consider the viscosity of the core. At this stage of the theory development, such effects as indirect and direct perturbations

Abstract Being generated, the relic neutrino background contained equal fractions of electron \({{\nu }_{e}}\), muon \({{\nu }_{\mu }}\), and taon \({{\nu }_{\tau }}\) neutrinos. We show that the gravitational field of our Galaxy and other nearby cosmic objects changes this composition near the Solar System. As a result, the relic background becomes enriched with taon and particularly muon neutrinos

Abstract In this paper we extended the spherical collapse model to take account of angular momentum and dynamical friction and studied how the accreted mass, the threshold of collapse, the virial overdensity, and the mass function change. Solving the equation of motion we got the relationships between mass, M, and the turn-around radius, \({{R}_{0}}\). This relation is important because knowing \({{R}_{0}}\)

Abstract It is shown that it is possible to extend the application of \(\delta \mathcal{N}\) formalism to some special separable non-canonic cases. In this work, we extended the multi-brid idea to the multi-field separable model with a non-canonical kinetic term, mainly DBI (Dirac–Born–Infeld) action. Multi-brid stands for multi-component hybrid inflation which is based on δN formalism. To be more

The space-based detector must be implemented on three identical drag-free spacecraft orbiting around the Earth. The key technologies that form the principles of operation of the space-based GW detector are, first, an ultrastable transponder laser interferometer and,

We have selected these stars based on data from the Gaia DR2 catalogue by invoking a number of photometric infrared surveys. Using 4564 stars with parallax errors less than 20%, we have found the following parameters of the angular velocity of Galactic rotation: \({{\Omega }_{0}} = 28.84 \pm 0.10\) km s–1 kpc–1, \(\Omega

The problem of finding a numerical solution to Kepler’s equation as a floating point number is formulated. Aspects related to computations near machine zero are taken into account.

Abstract The results of spectral observations of NGC 3516 with the 2-m telescope of the Shamakhy Astrophysical Observatory during 2016–2019 are presented. In the first half of 2016, the intensive broad component H\(\beta \) was found, which indicates a spectral type change compared to 2014, when the broad component was almost invisible. In the second half of 2016, the broad component H\(\beta \) again

The analysis is based on the visible structure of the meteor shower and a comprehensive strategy for estimating the proximity of orbits of two bodies. The κ-Cygnid meteor shower (abbreviated as KCG) is observed

Benefits of lunar-based observations are shown, in comparison with lunar laser ranging. It is investigated whether, and how effectively, these observations can be used to determine the lunar rotation parameters (physical

Both solutions have similar properties, which change qualitatively, depending on the adiabatic powers γ. In the interval \(1 < \gamma < {{\gamma }_{{{\text{cr}}}}} \sim 1.16\) analytic and numeric solutions fill all the space without any

Stellar population parameters—the average age and the magnesium–iron ratio—are measured; structural features are analyzed. It is concluded that the rings in all the galaxies have a different history of

Abstract— As is known, the influence of the ionizing radiation and the gravity of a star on a hot Jupiter results in the outflow of its atmosphere. Due to the gravity of the planet, the outflowing matter acquires angular momentum, after which it is accumulated on a higher circular orbit around the star and forms a disk or a torus. The angular momentum interexchange between the torus and the planet

Abstract— The hydrogen spectrum of the UX Ori-type star is modeled in a bright state and during an eclipse by an opaque dusty fragment of its own protoplanetary disk. The disk wind is considered as the main source of the emission spectrum. The radiation generated in the stellar magnetosphere is also taken into account. We showed that variations in the Hα line profile during eclipses depend sensitively

Abstract For the interpretation of X-ray radiation from kiloparsec jets of quasars, the inverse Compton scattering of the cosmic microwave background has been widely used for almost 20 years. A recent analysis of the Fermi-LAT observational data showed that this assumption is inapplicable for jets of several quasars. In this paper, we consider the inverse Compton scattering of photons from a central

Abstract The results of 14-year photometric monitoring of the contact close binary system (CBS) W UMa-type AM Leo are presented. Low-amplitude cyclic variations in brightness with a period of \(7.6 \pm 0.3\) years, not associated with the phenomena of eclipses and tidal deformations of the components, as well as low-amplitude cyclic variations of the CBS period with practically the same value of the

Abstract A comparison of the virial parameters of galaxies and galaxy clusters (radius, density, and entropy function) in a wide range of masses, \({{10}^{6}} \leqslant {{M}_{{{\text{vir}}}}}{\text{/}}{{M}_{ \odot }} \leqslant {{10}^{{14}}}\), shows that these parameters are correlated and depend on the virial mass of an object in a regular way. For the observed galaxies and galaxy clusters the available

Abstract The variations in the orbital period of the eclipsing binary system V505 Sgr, which is a part of the visual binary system CHR 90, have been analyzed. It has been shown that the variations in the period can be represented as a superposition of the secular decrease in the period at a rate of 2.97 × 10–7 days/year and the light-time effect with a period of 72.8 years. The secular decrease in

The algorithm can be applied to determinations of user’s coordinates, when it is impossible or difficult to receive the spacecraft ephemerides (for example, in conditions of a bad radio-visibility of the satellites). It is shown

We demonstrate the origin of the Kuiper belt of the Sun, the Oort cloud of the Sun and Jupiter, as well as the ACP “spear,” which becomes elongated with time and transforms into a “ring” of ACP objects along the trajectory

Within the model presented in Article I, the accretion history is analyzed at different rates and areas of matter inflow from the envelope onto the disk. It is shown that the burst-like regime occurs in a wide range of parameters. The long-term evolution of the disk is also modeled

The information on the supposed formation sites of the clusters based on the Gaia DR2 data is borrowed from the literature. Those sources estimate the probability of belonging to the Galactic bulge

The scenario also includes the formation of stellar streams by galaxies absorbing their dwarf satellite galaxies. The simplest spatial kinematic models of evolution

It is shown that the energy spectrum of hydrogen atoms penetrating in the Martian atmosphere is identical to the spectrum of protons of the unperturbed solar wind. The charge exchange efficiency varies from 2 to 4% depending on the boundary

The results are consistent with the classical description of the quadrupole using spherical functions, and the mathematical apparatus of tensor algebra allows one to compare the observed changes in the magnetic quadrupole and the changes predicted by the dynamo theories. In conclusion

Abstract The problem of the secular evolution of a thin ring around a rapidly rotating triaxial celestial body is formulated and solved. The technology for calculating secular perturbations is based on two formulas: the azimuthally averaged force field of the central body and the mutual energy \({{W}_{{{\text{mut}}}}}\) of this body and a Gaussian ring. With \({{W}_{{{\text{mut}}}}}\) instead of the

The first of them is characterized by periods \(P > 2\) s, the second one—by the surface magnetic fields \({{B}_{s}} > 4.4 \times \) 1013 G. The purpose for selecting these values is for the understanding the origin of the difference between normal pulsars and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXP) and gamma-repeaters

This problem can be solved based on geometrical correction and transformation of reference object coordinates into commonly accepted cartographic projections. In this work, the method of coordinate transformation to the reference selenocentric dynamic system by using a base

Because of two equivalent hydrogen atoms, it has ortho and para species. In order to obtain information about some potential spectral lines of malononitrile

A preliminary list of all pairs of stars within the radius of 100 pc around the Sun with a separation less than a parsec was compiled. Also, a subset of comoving pairs, wide binary stars, was selected. The clusters and systems with multiplicity larger than 2 were excluded from consideration. The

Such objects are cold, with temperature of ~10 K and density of \({{10}^{4}}{-} {{10}^{7}}\) cm–3, with predominance of thermal motions and high deuterium fraction. These objects give us information about the initial conditions of star formation and thus they are very important to understand this process

We get a more general formula than that usually described in literature, showing a dependence of \({{R}_{t}}\) from shear, vorticity

It was shown that the closest proximity of the centers of the OSCs to the Solar System usually exceeded 60 pc. The Hyades cluster approached the Solar System at ~25 pc. The effect of such encounters on the comet motion in the outer regions of the Oort

An optical flare of the object associated with the passage of revealed superluminal components through the radio core, coinciding in time with a γ-ray outburst, as well as outbursts at 43 GHz, were detected. The photometric variability is explained by a variable component

Z Per is most likely a quadruple system with periods of additional

Namely, we want to continue the work done in a previous paper by Del Popolo (2015), to see to what extent the SN feedback scenario is able to describe the inner structure of galaxies, employing more sophisticated statistical tools than those indicated in the quoted paper

Computation results made it possible to identify such system features as the drift of hot spots over the white dwarf surface, the flow structure dependence on the phase of the beat period, and the magnetic pole switching. To study the flow structure, a three-dimensional numerical MHD model

It has been shown that the significant north–south asymmetry of magnetic activity was accompanied by the asynchronous reorganization of solar magnetic fields in the northern and southern hemispheres. The formation of unipolar magnetic regions after the decay of activity centers has been studied. The meridional transport

In contrast to the traditional use of the apparatus of the perturbing Lagrange function, we rely on the mutual potential energy of elliptic Gaussian rings. This approach is important due to the fact that instead of averaging the expression for the perturbing Lagrange function obtained
