We address simulated neutrino emission originated from astrophysical jets of compact objects within the Galaxy. These neutrinos are of high energies (Eνof the order up to a few TeV) and for their observation specialized instruments are in operation, both on Earth and in orbit. Furthermore, some next generation telescopes and detector facilities are in the process of design and construction. The jet flow simulations are performed using the modern PLUTO hydrocode in its relativistic magnetohydrodynamic version. One of the main ingredients of the present work is the presence of a toroidal magnetic field that confines the jet flow and furthermore greatly affects the distribution of the high energy neutrinos.
a b s t r a c tIn this article we present a simulated annealing based algorithm for the determination of optimal ship routes through the minimization of a cost function defined as a weighted sum of the time of voyage and the voyage comfort (safety is taken into account too). This cost function is dependent on the wind speed and its direction as well as on the wave height and its direction. The constructed algorithm at the beginning discretizes an initial route and then optimizes it by considering small deviations, which are accepted or rejected by utilizing the simulated annealing technique. Using calculus of variations, we prove a key theorem which tremendously accelerates the convergence of the proposed algorithm. For an illustration of the advantages of the constructed method, both computational and real experiments have been carried out which are presented and discussed.
In this work, we simulate γ-rays created in the hadronic jets of the compact object in binary stellar systems known as microquasars. We utilize as main computational tool the 3-D relativistic magneto-hydro-dynamical code PLUTO combined with in house derived codes. Our simulated experiments refer to the SS433 X-ray binary, a stellar system in which hadronic jets have been observed. We examine two new model configurations that employ hadron-based emission mechanisms. The simulations aim to explore the dependence of the γ-ray emissions on the dynamical as well as the radiative properties of the jet (hydrodynamic parameters of the mass-flow density, gas-pressure, temperature of the ejected matter, high energy proton population inside the jet plasma, etc.). The results of the two new scenarios of initial conditions for the micro-quasar stellar system studied, are compared to those of previously considered scenarios. * odysseas.kosmas@manchester.ac.uk
The hadronic jets in a microquasar stellar system are modeled with the relativistic hydrocode PLUTO. We focus on neutrino emission from such jets produced by fast proton (nonthermal) collisions on thermal ones within the hadronic jet. We adopt a semianalytical approximation for the description of the secondary particles produced from p-p collisions and develop appropriate algorithms using the aforementioned injected protons as input. As a concrete example, we consider the SS-433 X-ray binary system for which several observations have been made the last decades. In contrast to the preset distribution of the fast protons along the jet employed in our previous works, in the present paper, we simulated it by using a power-law fast proton distribution along the PLUTO hydrocode. This distribution gradually sweeps aside the surrounding winds, during the jet advance through the computational grid. As a first step, in the present work, the neutrino energy spectrum is extracted from the model jet, facilitating a range of potential dynamical simulations in currently interesting microquasar jet systems.
