Abstract An attempt has been made to explore the geometric effects of f(R) action on the galactic dynamics under the weak field approximation. The rotational velocity is calculated beyond the Einstein’s geometric theory of gravity. It is inspired by the cosmological geometric relation obtained in the power-law f(R) gravity model in vacuum. We analyse the action with a small positive deviation from the Einstein–Hilbert gravity action (taking R as $$f(R)\propto R^{1+\delta }$$f(R)∝R1+δ) at the galactic scales for the explanation of the flatness paradox associated with the clustered galactic dark matter. We obtain the contribution of a dynamical f(R) cosmological background geometry on accelerating the test mass. Furthermore, the integrated effective acceleration of the test mass due to a massive spherically symmetric source in f(R) background is calculated via the study of geodesics for the suitable spacetime metric and an equation for the effective rotational velocity has been developed. We test the viability of the proposed model by tracing the motion of a test mass far from the disk of galactic matter for smaller $$\delta $$δ. The possible galactic rotational velocity curves in f(R) background are discussed for the formula obtained with $$\delta<< 1$$δ<<1. We also obtain constraints on $$\delta $$δ$$O(10^{-6})$$O(10-6) confirmed by observations.

This investigation deals with the dynamics of charged cylindrical gravitational collapse with anisotropic pressure and heat flux in [Formula: see text] gravity. For this purpose, we adopt the Misner–Sharp formalism to construct the dynamical equations and derive transport equation. Furthermore, we examine the collapsing rate by coupling the transport and dynamical equations. It is observed that the higher-order curvature terms influence the whole collapsing process such that the presence of positive curvature terms speeds up the collapsing process. It is also noted that for constant [Formula: see text] model the collapsing rate reduces.

ABSTRACT We report on Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the fast and blue optical transient (FBOT), AT 2018cow. At ∼62 Mpc, AT 2018cow is the first relatively nearby FBOT. The nature of AT 2018cow is not clear, although various hypotheses from a tidal disruption event to different kinds of supernovae have been suggested. It had a very fast rise time (3.5 d) and an almost featureless blue spectrum, although high photospheric velocities (40 000 km s−1) were suggested early on. The X-ray luminosity was very high, ∼1.4 × 1043 erg s−1, larger than those of ordinary supernovae (SNe), and more consistent with those of SNe associated with gamma-ray bursts. Variable hard X-ray emission hints at a long-lived ‘central engine.’ It was also fairly radio luminous, with a peak 8.4-GHz spectral luminosity of ∼4 × 1028 erg s−1 Hz−1, allowing us to make VLBI observations at ages between 22 and 287 d. We do not resolve AT 2018cow. Assuming a circularly symmetric source, our observations constrain the average apparent expansion velocity to be ${\lt}0.49\, c$ by t = 98 d (3σ limit). We also constrain the proper motion of AT 2018cow to be ${\lt}0.51\, c$. Since the radio emission generally traces the fastest ejecta, our observations make the presence of a long-lived relativistic jet with a lifetime of more than 1 month very unlikely.

The Weyl method for finding solutions in general relativity using symmetry by varying an action with respect to a reduced set of field variables is known to fail in some cases. We add to the list of failures by considering an application of the Weyl method to a magnetically charged spherically symmetric source, obtaining an incorrect geometry. This is surprising, because the same method, applied to electrically charged central bodies correctly produces the Reissner-Nordström spacetime.

We explore the estimation of a two-dimensional (2D) nonsymmetric coherently distributed (CD) source using L-shaped arrays. Compared with a symmetric source, the modeling and estimation of a nonsymmetric source are more practical. A nonsymmetric CD source is established through modeling the deterministic angular signal distribution function as a summation of Gaussian probability density functions. Parameter estimation of the nonsymmetric distributed source is proposed under an expectation maximization (EM) framework. The proposed EM iterative calculation contains three steps in each cycle. Firstly, the nominal azimuth angles and nominal elevation angles of Gaussian components in the nonsymmetric source are obtained from the relationship of rotational invariance matrices. Then, angular spreads can be solved through one-dimensional (1D) searching based on nominal angles. Finally, the powers of Gaussian components are obtained by solving least-squares estimators. Simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the nonsymmetric CD model and estimation technique.
