Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue welcomes original research articles that focus on the analysis of astrophysical objects in the context of Extended Gravity Theories. We also welcome the paper related to numerical simulations of linear and non-linear dynamical systems. We are hoping to attract studies regarding the possible attainment of high masses of neutron stars and white dwarfs from the Extended Gravity Theories perspective. Moreover, the question of whether it is possible to obtain nonexotic matter wormhole solutions in these theories is expected to be addressed. The physical consequences of studying black holes, strange stars, and gravastars in Extended Gravity Theories are also welcome. The purpose of this special issue is to compile original findings with an emphasis on numerical and theoretical challenges in dynamical systems. Review articles on the current state of the art are also invited.

Traditional formulations or more recent methods based on compartmental models, dynamic networking systems, multi-scale problems, linear and nonlinear differential equations, fractional differential equations and Hamiltonian dynamic evolutions are all welcome. We also expect to receive review articles describing the current state-of-the-art within this broad subject. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

Astrophysics and Astroparticle Physics

Astronomical observations; cosmological implications of the God particle; dark matter astrophysics; dark energy; electromagnetic process and properties; fundamental aspects of astrophysics; high-energy astrophysics/astroparticle; relativistic stars, structure, stability and oscillation—other topics.

In this work, a perturbed system of the restricted three-body problem is derived when the perturbation forces are conservative alongside the corresponding mean motion of two primaries bodies. Thus, we have proved that the first and second types of periodic orbits of the rotating Kepler problem can persist for all perturbed two-body and circular restricted three-body problems when the perturbation forces are conservative or the perturbed motion has its own extended Jacobian integral.

In this paper, we investigate a scalar field cosmological model of accelerating Universe with the simplest parametrization of the equation of state parameter of the scalar field. We use H(z) data, pantheon compilation of SN Ia data and BAO data to constrain the model parameters using the χ2 minimization technique. We obtain the present values of Hubble constant H0 as 66.21.34+1.42, 70.70.31+0.32 and 67.741.04+1.24 for H(z), H(z) + Pantheon and H(z) + BAO respectively. In addition, we estimate the present age of the Universe in a derived model t0=14.380.64+0.63 for joint H(z) and pantheon compilation of SN Ia data which has only 0.88σ tension with its empirical value obtained in Plank collaboration. Moreover, the present values of the deceleration parameter q0 come out to be 0.550.038+0.031, 0.610.021+0.030 and 0.6270.025+0.022 by bounding the Universe in the derived model with H(z), H(z) + Pantheon compilation of SN Ia and H(z) + BAO data sets, respectively. We also have performed the state-finder diagnostics to discover the nature of dark energy. Full article

When dealing with galactic dynamics, or more specifically, with galactic rotation curves, one basic assumption is always taken: the frame of reference relative to which the rotational velocities are given is assumed to be inertial. In other words, fictitious forces are assumed to vanish relative to the observational frame of a given galaxy. It might be interesting, however, to explore the outcomes of dropping that assumption; that is, to search for signatures of non-inertial behavior in the observed data. In this work, we show that the very discrepancy in galaxy rotation curves could be attributed to non-inertial effects. We derive a model for spiral galaxies that takes into account the possible influence of fictitious forces and find that the additional terms in the new model, due to fictitious forces, closely resemble dark halo profiles. Following this result, we apply the new model to a wide sample of galaxies, spanning a large range of luminosities and radii. It turns out that the new model accurately reproduces the structures of the rotation curves and provides very good fittings to the data. Full article

In the present work we explored the dynamics of magnetized particles around the compact object in γ-spacetime in the presence of an external asymptotically-uniform magnetic field. The analysis of the circular orbits of magnetized particles around the compact object in the spacetime of a γ-object immersed in the external magnetic field has shown that the area of stable circular orbits of magnetized particles increases with the increase of γ-parameter. We have also investigated the acceleration of the magnetized particles near the γ-object and shown that the center-of-mass energy of colliding magnetized particles increases with the increase of γ-parameter. Finally, we have applied the obtained results to the astrophysical scenario and shown that the values of γ-parameter in the range of γ(0.5,1) can mimic the spin of Kerr black hole up to a0.85, while the magnetic interaction can mimic the γ-parameter at γ(0.8,1) and spin of a Kerr black hole up to a0.3.
