In Failed Radiatively Accelerated Dusty Outflow (FRADO) model which provides the source of material above the accretion disk (AD) as an option to explain the formation mechanism of Broad Line Region (BLR) in AGNs, the BLR inner radius ($rm{BLR}_{in}$ hereafter) is set by the condition that the dust evaporates immediately upon departure from the AD surface. On the other hand, the location of BLR clouds obtained observationaly via reverberation mapping shows some scaling with the source luminosity, so-called RL relation. We assume $rm{BLR}_{in}$ to be the location of BLR clouds, then using a realistic expression for the radiation pressure of an AD, and having included the proper values of dust opacity, and shielding effect as well, we report our numerical results on calculation of $rm{BLR}_{in}$ based on FRADO model. We investigate how it scales with monochromatic luminosity at 5100 angstrom for a grid of blackhole masses and Eddington ratios to compare along with the FRADO analytically predicted RL directly to observational data.

The effective size of Broad Line Region (BLR), so-called the BLR radius, in galaxies with active galactic nuclei (AGN) scales with the source luminosity. Therefore by determining this location either observationally through reverberation mapping or t heoretically, one can use AGNs as an interesting laboratory to test cosmological models. In this article we focus on the theoretical side of BLR based on the Failed Radiatively Accelerated Dusty Outflow (FRADO) model. By simulating the dynamics of matter in BLR through a realistic model of radiation of accretion disk (AD) including the shielding effect, as well as incorporating the proper values of dust opacities, we investigate how the radial extension and geometrical height of the BLR depends on the Eddington ratio [and blackhole mass], and modeling of shielding effect. We show that assuming a range of Eddington ratios and shielding we are able to explain the measured time-delays in a sample of reverberation-measured AGNs.
In this paper, we examine neutron star structure in perturbative $f(R)$ gravity models with realistic equation of state. We obtain mass-radius relations in two gravity models of the form $f_{1}(R)=R+ alpha R(e^{-R/R_0}-1)$ and $f_{2}(R)=R+alpha R^2$. For this purpose, we consider NS with several nucleonic as well as strange EoSs generated in the framework of relativistic mean field models. The strange particles in the core of NS are in the form of $Lambda$ hyperons and quarks, in addition to the nucleons and leptons. The M-R relation of the chosen EoSs lies well within the observational limit in the case of GR. We show that these EoSs provide the most stringent constraint on the perturbative parameter $alpha$ and therefore can be considered as important experimental probe for modified gravity at astrophysical level.
In the context of f(R)=R + alpha R^2 gravity, we study the existence of neutron and quark stars with no intermediate approximations in the generalised system of Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov equations. Analysis shows that for positive alphas the scalar c urvature does not drop to zero at the star surface (as in General Relativity) but exponentially decreases with distance. Also the stellar mass bounded by star surface decreases when the value alpha increases. Nonetheless distant observers would observe a gravitational mass due to appearance of a so-called gravitational sphere around the star. The non-zero curvature contribution to the gravitational mass eventually is shown to compensate the stellar mass decrease for growing alphas. We perform our analysis for several equations of state including purely hadronic configurations as well as hyperons and quark stars. In all cases, we assess that the relation between the parameter $alpha$ and the gravitational mass weakly depend upon the chosen equation of state. Another interesting feature is the increase of the star radius in comparison to General Relativity for stars with masses close to maximal, whereas for intermediate masses around 1.4-1.6 solar masses, the radius of star depends upon alpha very weakly. Also the decrease in the mass bounded by star surface may cause the surface redshift to decrease in R^2-gravity when compared to Einsteinian predictions. This effect is shown to hardly depend upon the observed gravitational mass. Finally, for negative values of alpha our analysis shows that outside the star the scalar curvature has damped oscillations but the contribution of the gravitational sphere into the gravitational mass increases indefinitely with radial distance putting into question the very existence of such relativistic stars.
The synthesis of $r$-process elements is known to involve extremely energetic explosions. At the same time, recent observations find significant $r$-process enrichment even in extremely small ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies. This raises the question of retainment of those elements within their hosts. We estimate the retainment fraction and find that it is large $sim 0.9$, unless the $r$-process event is very energetic ($gtrsim 10^{52}$erg) and / or the host has lost a large fraction of its gas prior to the event. We estimate the $r$-process mass per event and rate as implied by abundances in UFDs, taking into account imperfect retainment and different models of UFD evolution. The results are consistent with previous estimates (Beniamini et al. 2016) and with the constraints from the recently detected macronova accompanying a neutron star merger (GW170817). We also estimate the distribution of abundances predicted by these models. We find that $sim 0.07$ of UFDs should have $r$-process enrichment. The results are consistent with both the mean values and the fluctuations of [Eu/Fe] in galactic metal poor stars, supporting the possibility that UFDs are the main building blocks of the galactic halo population.
We have detected 27 new supernova remnants (SNRs) using a new data release of the GLEAM survey from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope, including the lowest surface-brightness SNR ever detected, G0.1-9.7. Our method uses spectral fitting t o the radio continuum to derive spectral indices for 26/27 candidates, and our low-frequency observations probe a steeper-spectrum population than previously discovered. None of the candidates have coincident Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mid-IR emission, further showing that the emission is non-thermal. Using pulsar associations we derive physical properties for six candidate SNRs, finding G0.1-9.7 may be younger than 10kyr. 60% of the candidates subtend areas larger than 0.2deg$^{2}$ on the sky, compared to $<25$% of previously-detected SNRs. We also make the first detection of two SNRs in the Galactic longitude range $220^circ-240^circ$.
