Strong X-ray emissions from binary system 3A 0726-260 discovered by Indian researchers

A New Signal for a Neutron Star Collision Discovered  NASA


Scientists have established that the origin of this signal is the binary system 3A 0726-260.

Using data provided by the AstroSat satellite, a team of Indian researchers was able to identify strong X-ray emissions from the 3A 0726-260 binary system, which consists of a magnetized neutron star and a regular star. Scientists explain that in the case of these systems, X-ray emissions are based on the material that the neutron star attracts from the atmosphere of the neighboring star, notes Phys.

The 3A 0726-260 system is about 20,000 light-years away, and as Indian scientists explain, it is one of the least studied pulsars in binary systems, although, according to their data. , it tends to be a fairly "bright" source, if we look at X-ray emissions. Astronomers have established that this system has an orbital period of 34.55 days, and the rotation period of the pulsar is 103 seconds.  Also, this 103-second pulse appears to be followed by a secondary, but weaker, pulse detected in another observer's data.

"Changing the pulse profile from a single peak to a double-peaked structure can be explained by the intrinsic change that occurs in the beam pattern from a pencil beam to a hay beam, leading to the beam coming out of our line. visual. The change in the impulse process can also be attributed to a transition of the accretion model from a smooth, low-energy accretion stream to several narrow, high-energy accretion streams that are blocked in phase with the neutron star.

Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Global Warming can start the process of desertification of the Planet Earth as Sahara was Jungle a millennium ago

Sahara Jungle 10 000 years ago

A recent study brings us extremely worrying news: in 50 years, rising temperatures will dramatically affect the lives of more than three billion people.

10,000 years ago, the Sahara Desert was one of the wettest areas on Earth

This situation is proving extremely unfortunate, especially if we take into account the problems related to food security for these people whose agricultural land will become useless, notes Futurism.

Fortunately, if we can say so, this is one of the darkest scenarios, but it starts from the reality we live in: insufficient actions related to stopping global warming and the continuous increase of carbon dioxide emissions globally.

The study points out that on every inhabited continent there will be a series of regions whose conditions will be extremely harsh and will not allow human life, among these regions are: Brazil, North Africa or India. This increase in temperatures will lead to the expansion of the temperate climate to more northern regions: Canada or even the Arctic.

The direct consequence of these changes in environmental conditions will be the increase in the number of climate refugees, who will have to move from regions close to the equator to the north and south of the planet in search of less affected regions.

The construction of the tallest monument in the world started in India. The gigantic statue will represent the Indian national hero Shivaji, who lived and reigned in the eighteenth century.

According to international media, the monument will have a height of 192 meters. It will exceed 76 meters statue of Buddha from Myanmar, considered the highest in the world and will be taller than the Statue of Liberty. The cost of construction was estimated at 530 million dollars.

The monument will be built on an artificial island a few kilometers from Mumbai. Even if the statue will be worthy of the Guinness Book of Records, many people have criticized the project. They believe that their country so poor, does not require such expenditures.

India has planted 50 million trees in just 24 hours

Polluted cities in India have become more green. Nearly 50 million trees have been planted, far surpassing the world record existet.

The event took place in Uttar Pradesh Monday, one of the most populated cities in the north. More than 800,000 people of all ages, from students to housewives and government officials, have planted 49.3 million seedlings in a period of only 24 hours. Seedlings of 80 different species were brought in from 950 greenhouses in the country.

Earlier, Pakistan had record after residents of this state have planted 847 275 trees in 2013, but the Indians attempt has already been certified by the Guinness Book as the new holder of the title.

Under the Paris Convention on Climate Change, India said it would enhance growth forests over an area of ​​95 million hectares by 2030, the Indian government investing 6.2 billion dollars for this purpose.

,, The world has realized that massive efforts are needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which cause global climate change, '' said Indian Prime Minister Akhilesh Yadav.

Because of increasing population and rapid development of industry, India is known for poor air quality. A recent report has placed six of Indian cities (Gwalior, Allahabad, Patna, Raipur, Ludhiana and Delhi) in the top 10 most polluted cities in the world.
