KiloNova Update I .
Andre Willers .
5 Jun 2014
Synopsis :
Things at Galactic Central Black hole SGR A* just got more
complex . Extinction Level Event for Earth probability suddenly much bigger .
Discussion :
1.Infalling gas cloud ( See Appendix AA) dynamics
complicated by VERY strong magnetic fields around black-hole jets . See
Appendix BB .
The magnetic effects are on the order of gravitational
black-hole effects .
2. The jets would be about perpendicular to the galactic
plane , but the magnetic field spirals around the jets are nearly in the
galactic plane .
3.Very strong burps of x-rays or particulate beams have a very
strong probability of sweeping along the galactic plane . Synchroton-like
effects .
4.These would be very bad news for any planet like earth .
Do you feel lucky ?

3.Enormous magnetic fields are created ,
spiralling around the jets from the black hole .
4.These interact with the magnetic neutron star
SGR J1745-29 , influencing its orbit . The geometry of field-strengths means
that the neutron star will start spiralling into the black hole . Time –
unknown .
5.The collision of a black hole and neutron star
is a KiloNova . See Appendix A
This energy release will sterilize a good portion
of the galaxy , even outside any jets .
6. See Appendix C . This was expected earlier ,
but things have been delayed by the magnetic neutron star interacting with gas
cloud . (Momentum transference via magnetic fields . Strong x-ray bursts to be
expected)
7. Nothing says goodbye like a Gamma Ray Burst .

The latest discovery, which appeared in a special online edition
of the journal Nature on Saturday, was made based on last month’s observations
by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble detected a fading fireball from a
new kind of stellar blast called a “kilonova,” an incident that was followed by
a brief short gamma-ray burst, or GRB, in a galaxy almost four billion
light-years from Earth.

Scientists said that a kilonova has long been predicted by astronomers
to accompany a
short-duration GRB but had not been seen until now. Such an explosion is so
powerful that it can be 1,000 times brighter than a typical star explosion,
called a nova. On the other hand, a typical supernova, the self-detonation of a
massive star, could be 100 times brighter than a kilonova.

“Many astronomers, including
our group, have already provided a great deal of evidence that long-duration
gamma-ray bursts (those lasting more than
two seconds) are produced by the collapse of extremely massive stars,” said

Synopsis:
High intensities of gamma- and X-ray radiation on Earth from the center of
our galaxy can be expected during 2013 AD , due to an infalling gas cloud into
the central Milky Way black hole .

A gas cloud of an estimated three earth masses is expected to impact the supermassive , rotating black hole at the center of our galaxy (“Sagittarius A*”) in 2013 AD . Note that radiation from this event can be expected shortly afterward in local time .
A large part
of this mass will be converted to electro-magnetic energy .
Now , three earth masses is not a lot of energy in the galactic scheme of things , but the way it is distributed does .
Briefly , the energy release is characterized by very short wavelenghts (gamma or x-ray) and lobe-shaped distributions of the pulse-wavefronts in the galactic ecliptic .
There is a combination of relativistic and quantum effects in the last few cm's before the event horizon .
1.There is a slingshot effect , because the gas cloud must be lumpy , even if only at atomic scale . The gas cloud vanishes in a few Planck -time units , emitting very short-wave radiation due to differential tidal friction .
2.But the black hole is large and rotating , which forms time-bands of slower time , which gives enough time for feedback . Depending on the size and rotation speed of the black hole , this will lead to 2n lobes of wavefronts on the rotation equator , where n=1,2,3,...
3.Hawking Burps .
This process in para 2 above “foams” the event horizon , leading to a drastically increased Hawking radiation . (The “foam” would be something like Sierpinsky chaotic triangles)
The density and time-band concentrations of energy separates particle-anti-particle pairs to give Hawking radiation .
This burp of energy sweeps matter from the neighborhood of the black hole and reduces the mass of the black hole , preventing black holes from swallowing everything . Elegant .
4.Turning a Hawking Burp into a White Hole .
There is a narrow window where the Burp becomes self-sustaining . A large black hole then evaporates in an awesome release of energy . Even the tiniest random fluctuation (eg matter-antimatter) will get magnified and perpetuated .
Not the place to take your mother for a picnic .
5.Foaming Space-time .
Well , space-time is already foamed , but only to a simple level
. (Quantum foam)
Call it Foam(0)
We can churn this to higher orders of foam (Foam(1) , Foam(2) , Foam(3) ,...,Foam(b) )
where b can be derived from Kantor's Aleph classes combined with chaos theory .
Taken to the logical extreme , this leaves only Foam ordered into Branes .
The smile on the Cheshire cat just after he brushed his teeth .
So what does this mean to
us ?
A full frontal impact from a lobe will give a definitive answer to Fermi's Paradox : “Where are they ?” Why , extinct .
More likely is an immersion in the higher radiation levels alongside the lobes for a long time .
Can be survived , given enough warning .

Surprisingly strong
magnetic fields can match black holes' pull: Long-neglected magnetic fields
have an unexpected presence
Date:
June 4, 2014

Summary:
A new study of supermassive black holes at the centers of
galaxies has found magnetic fields play an impressive role in the systems'
dynamics. In fact, in dozens of black holes surveyed, the magnetic field
strength matched the force produced by the black holes' powerful gravitational
pull.

A new study of
supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies has found magnetic fields
play an impressive role in the systems' dynamics. In fact, in dozens of black
holes surveyed, the magnetic field strength matched the force produced by the
black holes' powerful gravitational pull, says a team of scientists from the
U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley
Lab) and Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn, Germany. The
findings are published in this week's issue of Nature.
"This paper for the first time systematically
measures the strength of magnetic fields near black holes," says Alexander
Tchekhovskoy, the Berkeley Lab researcher who helped interpret the
observational data within the context of existing computational models.
"This is important because we had no idea, and now we have evidence from
not just one, not just two, but from 76 black holes."
Previously, Tchekhovskoy, who is also a
postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, had developed
computational models of black holes that included magnetic fields. His models
suggested a black hole could sustain a magnetic field that was as strong as its
gravity, but there was not yet observational evidence to support this
prediction. With the two forces balancing out, a cloud of gas caught on top of
the magnetic field would be spared the pull of gravity and instead levitate in
place.
The magnetic field strength was confirmed by
evidence from jets of gas that shoot away from supermassive black holes. Formed
by magnetic fields, these jets produce a radio emission. "We realized that
the radio emission from black holes' jets can be used to measure the magnetic
field strength near the black hold itself," says Mohammad Zamaninasab, the
lead author of the study, who did the work while at MPIfR.
Other research teams had previously collected
radio-emission data from "radio-loud" galaxies using the Very Long
Baseline Array, a vast network of radio telescopes in the United States. The
researchers analyzed this pre-existing data to create radio-emission maps at
different wavelengths. Shifts in jet features between different maps let them
calculate the field strength near the black hole.
Based on the results, the team found not only that
the measured magnetic fields can be as strong as a black hole's gravity, but
that they are also comparable in strength to those produced inside MRI machines
found in hospitals-roughly 10,000 times greater than the field of Earth itself.
Tchekhovskoy says the new results mean theorists
must re-evaluate their understanding of black-hole behavior. "The magnetic
fields are strong enough to dramatically alter how gas falls into black holes
and how gas produces outflows that we do observe, much stronger than what has
usually been assumed," he says. "We need to go back and look at our
models once again."
