Modelling the Impacts of Accelerated Urbanization and Clean Energy Access on Energy Demand in Taita Taveta County, Kenya
Creators: name: Wachira, Dickson
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Clean Energy Access
Urbanization
Energy Demand

description: The study considers a base scenario based on historical data trends, as well as two alternative scenarios. The first scenario explores accelerated urbanization, aiming for a 50% urban population by 2050, while the second scenario focuses on achieving universal access to clean energy (specifically cooking) by 2030.The findings reveal that accelerated urbanization is projected to lead to a 10% increase in energy demand by 2040. Conversely, achieving universal clean energy access shows a significant 13% decrease in energy demand during the same period. This highlights the higher efficiency and potential cost-effectiveness of clean energy solutions. Based on the study's results, the implementation of fiscal incentives to promote the adoption of modern clean energy technologies is recommended. Additionally, a realistic implementation framework aligned with government targets, such as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Vision 2030, is crucial. By considering the insights from this study, policymakers and stakeholders can develop data-driven strategies to address the energy challenges posed by accelerated urbanization. Promoting clean energy adoption and investing in sustainable energy solutions will be key to meeting the region's energy demands efficiently and in line with national development objectives.

description: In scenarios with very small dark matter (DM) couplings and small mass splittings between the DM and other dark sector particles, so-called "co-scattering" or "conversion-driven freeze-out" can be the dominant mechanism for DM production. We present the inclusion of this mechanism in micrOMEGAs together with a case study of the phenomenological implications in the fermionic singlet-triplet model. For the latter, we focus on the transition between co-annihilation and co-scattering processes. We observe that co-scattering is needed to describe the thermal behaviour of the DM for very small couplings, opening up a new region in the parameter space of the model. The triplet states are often long-lived in this region; we therefore also discuss LHC constraints from long-lived signatures obtained with SModelS.

description: The process of breaking of inviscid incompressible flows along a rigid body with slipping boundary conditions is studied. Such slipping flows are compressible, which is the main reason for the formation of a singularity for the gradient of the velocity component parallel to rigid border. Slipping flows are studied analytically in the framework of two- and three-dimensional inviscid Prandtl equations. Criteria for a gradient catastrophe are found in both cases. For 2D Prandtl equations breaking takes place both for the parallel velocity along the boundary and for the vorticity gradient. For three-dimensional Prandtl flows, breaking, i.e. the formation of a fold in a finite time, occurs for the symmetric part of the velocity gradient tensor, as well as for the antisymmetric part - vorticity. The problem of the formation of velocity gradients for flows between two parallel plates is studied numerically in the framework of two-dimensional Euler equations. It is shown that the maximum velocity gradient grows exponentially with time on a rigid boundary with a simultaneous increase in the vorticity gradient according to a double exponential law. Careful analysis shows that this process is nothing more than the folding, with a power-law relationship between the maximum velocity gradient and its width: $% \max|u_x|\propto \ell^{-2/3}$.

description: We study the nonlinear gravitational dynamics of a universe filled with a pressureless fluid and a cosmological constant $Λ$ in the context of Newtonian gravity, and in the relativistic post-Friedmann approach proposed in paper I [I. Milillo et al., Phys. Rev. D 92, 023519 (2015).]. The post-Friedmann approximation scheme is based on the $1/c$ expansion of the space-time metric and the energy-momentum tensor, and includes nonlinear Newtonian cosmology. Here we establish the nonlinear post-Friedmann framework in the Lagrangian-coordinates approach for structure formation. For this we first identify a Lagrangian gauge which is suitable for incorporating nonzero vorticity. We analyze our results in two limits: at the leading order we recover the fully nonlinear Newtonian cosmological equations in the Lagrangian formulation, and we provide a space-time metric consistent from the perspective of general relativity. We then linearize our expressions and recover the relativistic results at first order in cosmological perturbation theory. Therefore, the introduced approximation scheme provides a unified treatment for the two leading-order regimes, from the small scales described by Newtonian gravity to the large linear scale, where first-order relativistic cosmological perturbation theory gives a very good description of structure formation.

description: Densities associated with the energy-momentum tensor are calculated for spin-one targets. These calculations are done in a light front formalism, which accounts for relativistic effects due to boosts and allows for arbitrary spatial localization of the target. These densities include the distribution of momentum, angular momentum, and pressures over a two-dimensional plane transverse to the light front. Results are obtained for both longitudinally and transversely polarized targets, and the formalism is tailored to allow the possibility of massless targets. The momentum density and pressure distributions are calculated for a deuteron target in a light cone convolution model, with which the properties of this model (such as helicity dependence of the densities) is illustrated.

description: Introduction: Maternal mortality has high public health importance because of its magnitude in Ethiopia. Reduction of this high magnitude is possible. However, evidence on magnitude and factors affecting maternal mortality at different administrative level in Ethiopia are not sufficient. Objective: This study aims at identifying cause, magnitude and contributing factors for maternal death in selected health facilities in SNNPR between 2007/2008 and 2009/20010. Method: A retrospective register based study using quantitative and qualitative method was conducted in SNNPR in purposively selected three hospitals. All maternal deaths that occurred in the selected hospitals and recorded during the study period were included. Data were collected by reviewing records using check list in the selected hospitals. Additionally FGD using four groups was conducted using semi structured questionnaire. Midwives data collectors from nearby health center were selected for record review; whereas for FGD principal investigator and one note taker participated. Data quality was assured by training data collectors and supervisor, by conducting pre test. Data was entered and cleaned using EPI version 3.5.2.The cleaned data was exported to SPSS version 16, for descriptive statistical analysis. For qualitative method after transcription of data, content analysis was employed. Result: In the three years of study period in the three selected hospitals 127 maternal deaths were recorded & maternal mortality ratio on average was 1360/100,000 live births. Direct obstetric causes of death accounted for 88%, out of which 31%, 23 % and15% obstructed labour, hemorrhage and eclampsia were the leading causes of death, respectively. Concerning patient factors low level of ANC follow up 3.1%, delay in health seeking behavior by mothers who were in labour for 2-3 days at home 70% and 48.4% the deceased mothers died on the day of admission. About care provision in the facility also delay was seen in patients who were in need of resuscitation, 90%, 84% and 79% of APH, PPH and ruptured uterus cases respectively, died without receiving blood transfusion. Conclusion: obstructed labour was the leading cause of death. Delay in health seeking behavior as patient factor and delay at health facility as provider factor have contributed to maternal death. High maternal mortality ratio was observed. Based on this finding regional health office was recommended to make the comprehensive emergency obstetric care service accessible to the rural society in which the majority lives

description: Free-space light beams with complex intensity patterns, or non-trivial phase structure, are demanded in diverse fields, ranging from classical and quantum optical communications, to manipulation and imaging of microparticles and cells. Static or dynamic spatial light modulators, acting on phase or intensity of an incoming light wave, are the conventional choices to produce beams with such non-trivial characteristics. However, interfacing these devices with optical fibers or integrated optical circuits often requires difficult alignment or cumbersome optical setups. Here we explore theoretically and with numerical simulations the potentialities of directly using the output of engineered three-dimensional waveguide arrays, illuminated with linearly polarized light, to project light beams with peculiar structures. We investigate through a collection of illustrative configurations the far field distribution, showing the possibility to achieve orbital angular momentum, or to produce elaborate intensity or phase patterns with several singularity points. We also simulate the propagation of the projected beam, showing the possibility to concentrate light. We note that these devices should be at reach of current technology, thus perspectives are open for the generation of complex free-space optical beams from integrated waveguide circuits.

description: The light front densities of momentum, angular momentum, and intrinsic pressure are calculated for the photon, both in the free case and at leading order in quantum electrodynamics. In the latter case, we moreover decompose the form factors into photon and electron contributions. Circularly and linearly polarized photons are both considered, with the latter containing significant azimuthal modulations in both the momentum density and in intrinsic stresses. We find that the D-term of the photon is positive instead of negative, and accordingly the intrinsic radial pressure of the photon is negative. Despite this, the radiation pressure exerted by the photon is positive. We illustrate through explicit calculation how the intrinsic pressure associated with the D-term and the radiation pressure exerted by the photon are different quantities.

Creators: name: desalegne, Berhanu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2006

description: Induced abortion is major and direct cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Estimated 40-60 million women seek termination of pregnancy every year and the largest percentages of the induced abortions take place in the developing countries. Emergency contraceptive methods can serve as a backup method to reduce the occurrence of unwanted pregnancy and its outcome following unprotected sex. Objectives To assess KAP of contraceptives with emphasis on emergency contraception among women seeking post abortion care in public and private hospitals and the role of the health care providers in promoting emergency contraceptive service in Addis Ababa. Methods A cross-sectional study, with both quantitative and qualitative components, was conducted in five government and three private hospitals in Addis Ababa during January to March 2006. A total of 417 questionnaires, with response rate of 98.8% and unit heads of the respective hospitals were interviewed using structured and semi structured questionnaires prepared in Amharic. Consecutive patients seeking post-abortion care at the hospitals were included in the study. Data were entered into a computer and statistical analysis was done using EPI6 INFO and SSPS version 10 statistical soft wares. Result Of the 417 women included in the study 59 (14.1%) reported as heard about emergency contraception. Where as, only 15(3.6%) of the women had used emergency contraception. Public health facilities hospitals and health centres were mentioned by 101(24.2%) of the women as current sources of emergency contraceptives. The preferred sources of emergency contraceptives were reported to be public hospitals 243 (58%), health centres 295 (70.7%), pharmacies194 (46.5%), and private clinics 63(15.1%). During the study period, the government hospitals were providing service of emergency contraceptives using trained health personnel 24 hours, unlike the private hospitals. Conclusion 2 This study confirms the need to improve women's knowledge about the risk of unplanned pregnancy, and the importance of regular and emergency contraceptives. Barriers against access and utilization of emergency contraceptives should be removed.

description: This work theoretically analyzes the sound absorption properties of a chirped multi-layer porous material including transmission, in particular showing the broadband unidirectional absorption properties of the system. Using the combination of the impedance matching condition and the balance between the leakage and the intrinsic losses, the system is designed to have broadband unidirectional and quasi perfect absorption. The transfer and scattering matrix formalism, together with numerical simulations based on the finite element method are used to demonstrate the results showing excellent agreement between them. The proposed system allows to construct broadband sound absorbers with improved absorption in the low frequency regime using less amount of material than the complete bulk porous layer.

description: Mechanical strain is a powerful tuning knob for excitons, Coulomb-bound electron-hole complexes dominating optical properties of two-dimensional semiconductors. While the strain response of bright free excitons is broadly understood, the behavior of dark free excitons (long-lived excitations that generally do not couple to light due to spin and momentum conservation) or localized excitons related to defects remains mostly unexplored. Here, we develop a technique capable of straining pristine suspended WSe2 kept at cryogenic temperatures up to 3\% to study the strain behavior of these fragile many-body states. We find that under the application of strain, dark and localized excitons in monolayer WSe2 - a prototypical 2D semiconductor - are brought into energetic resonance, forming a new hybrid state that inherits the properties of the constituent species. The characteristics of the hybridized state, including an order-of-magnitude enhanced light/matter coupling, avoided-crossing energy shifts, and strain tunability of many-body interactions, are all supported by first-principles calculations. The hybridized exciton reported here may play a critical role in the operation of single quantum emitters based on WSe2. Furthermore, the techniques we developed may be used to fingerprint unidentified excitonic states

description: In this paper, we present an online planning-scheduling approach for battery-powered autonomous aerial robots. The approach consists of simultaneously planning a coverage path and scheduling onboard computational tasks. We further derive a novel variable coverage motion robust to airborne constraints and an empirically motivated energy model. The model includes the energy contribution of the schedule based on an automatic computational energy modeling tool. Our experiments show how an initial flight plan is adjusted online as a function of the available battery, accounting for uncertainty. Our approach remedies possible in-flight failure in case of unexpected battery drops, e.g., due to adverse atmospheric conditions, and increases the overall fault tolerance.

Understanding the effects of respiratory flow profile on upper airway flow dynamics
Creators: name: Burchell, Christopher
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The flow dynamics present in the human upper airway remain largely uninvestigated. With Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affecting an estimated 339 and 252 million people, and with inhaled therapy being the primary medical delivery system for these diseases, this is an important field to investigate. Before training, patients using inhalers typically exhibit a velocimetric inhalatory breathing profile like a developed parabolic curve. The author investigated the effect of this sinusoidal flow pattern, contrasted with the desired flow pattern for inhaler usage. This was achieved through the development of a deformable, low patency, and geometrically realistic airway replica. The region of focus was situated in the oropharynx, on a mouth breathing replicated model. All experiments were performed using Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV). The peak flow rates of 10, 15, 20L/min were tested. Realistic deformation of the upper airway, which includes both the passive deformation (collapse of the airway due to negative pressure acting on the lumen) and active deformation (airway dilator muscle activity) during breathing, was simulated which helps fill a void in the literature and allows for comparison to the industry standards. The results show that flow profile and active airway deformation can significantly affect flow stability and airway patency suggesting the importance of training for new inhaler users, also having implications in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) research.

description: A unified formulation of one-loop tensor integrals is proposed for systematical calculations of finite volume corrections. It is shown that decomposition of the one-loop tensor integrals into a series of tensors accompanied by tensor coefficients is feasible, if a unit space-like four vector $n^μ$, originating from the discretization effects at finite volume, is introduced. A generic formula has been derived for numerical computations of all the involved tensor coefficients. For the vanishing external three-momenta, we also investigate the feasibility of the conventional Passarino-Veltmann reduction of the tensor integrals in a finite volume. Our formulation can be easily used to realize the automation of the calculations of finite volume corrections to any interesting quantities at one-loop level. Besides, it provides finite volume result in a unique and concise form, which is suited for, e.g., carrying out precision determination of physical observable from modern lattice QCD data.

Theory of quantum kagome ice and vison zero modes

description: We derive an effective $Z_2$ gauge theory to describe the quantum kagome ice (QKI) state that has been observed by Carrasquilla $\textit{et. al.}$ in Monte Carlo studies of the $S = 1/2$ kagome XYZ model in a Zeeman field. The numerical results on QKI are consistent with, but do not confirm or rule out, the hypothesis that it is a $Z_2$ spin liquid. Our effective theory allows us to explore this hypothesis and make a striking prediction for future numerical studies, namely that symmetry-protected vison zero modes arise at lattice disclination defects, leading to a Curie defect term in the spin susceptibility, and a characteristic $(N_{dis} - 1) \ln 2$ contribution to the entropy, where $N_{dis}$ is the number of disclinations. Only the $Z_2$ Ising symmetry is required to protect the vison zero modes. This is remarkable because a unitary $Z_2$ symmetry cannot be responsible for symmetry-protected degeneracies of local degrees of freedom. We also discuss other signatures of symmetry fractionalization in the $Z_2$ spin liquid, and phase transitions out of the $Z_2$ spin liquid to nearby ordered phases.

description: We address the issue of the proximity of interacting diffusion models on large graphs with a uniform degree property and a corresponding mean field model, i.e. a model on the complete graph with a suitably renormalized interaction parameter. Examples include Erdős-Rényi graphs with edge probability $p_n$, $n$ is the number of vertices, such that $\lim_{n \to \infty}p_n n= \infty$. The purpose of this note it twofold: (1) to establish this proximity on finite time horizon, by exploiting the fact that both systems are accurately described by a Fokker-Planck PDE (or, equivalently, by a nonlinear diffusion process) in the $n=\infty$ limit; (2) to remark that in reality this result is unsatisfactory when it comes to applying it to systems with $N$ large but finite, for example the values of $N$ that can be reached in simulations or that correspond to the typical number of interacting units in a biological system.

description: A model of the Li-diffused inactive layer in P-type high purity germanium detectors is built to describe the transportation of charge carriers and calculate the charge collection efficiency therein. The model is applied to calculate charge collection efficiency of a P-type point-contact germanium detector used in rare event physics experiments and validated in another P-type semi-planar germanium detector. The calculated charge collection efficiency curves are well consistent with measurements for both detectors. Effects of the Li doping processes on the charge collection efficiency are discussed based on the model. This model can be easily extended to other P-type germanium detectors, for instance, the P-type broad-energy Ge detector, and the P-type inverted-coaxial point-contact detector.

Transactional Sex with "Sugar Daddies" among Female Preparatory Students: HIV Risk Assessment in Hawassa Town, SNNPR, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Mitiku, Liyuwork
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Transactional sex among female students with old men is one of the major factors that fuel the spread of HIV and AIDS due to extended sexual network. In Ethiopia, though various studies had been conducted to assess the sexual behavior of female students, there is still a paucity of researches that address transactional sex among young females with older men. The main aim of the study was to assess the magnitude and factors associate transactional sex with "sugar daddies" in relation with HIV/AIDS. A cross-sectional study using mixed method was conducted among 620 female students in Hawassa town, SNNPR, Ethiopia from September 2010 to May 2011. Students were selected randomly from 5 preparatory schools and a snow-ball sampling technique was used to interview 10 female students involved in transactional sex with "sugar daddies" for the qualitative study. The findings of this study indicated that about a fifth, 130 (21%) of female preparatory students were sexually active and 71 (11.5%) have been involved in sexual relation with "sugar daddies". Gaining financial benefit was the commonest reason for the relation with older men as mentioned by 56 (78.9%) girls. Among those who reported to have been engaged in sexual relation with "sugar daddies", 56 (78.9%) girls had sexual partner other than of older men concurrently and most of them were with young employees, 31 (43.7%) followed by students, 17 (23.9%). Sixty six (93%) of respondents who date "sugar daddies" had multiple sexual partners sequentially and of them only 22.7% used condom consistently. Girls who were in older age group [AOR (95% CI) = 6.87 (3.48-13.58)], who had lost both parents [AOR (95% CI) =2.99 (1.14-7.84)], with less economic status [AOR (95% CI) 25.41 (7.80-82.76)], who chewed Khat [AOR (95% CI) = 5.8 (2.1-15.77)] and consumed alcohol [AOR (95% CI) =6.9 (3.7-12.78)] were more likely to had sexual relation with "sugar daddies" than their counterparts. This study indicated that, female students in Hawassa Town were not only engaged in transactional sex with older men but also having concurrent or serial sexual partnership with young people too. This sexual network suggests that, other girls/boys who are not in transactional sex are also vulnerable to HIV. Therefore, HIV prevention programs should focus in transactional sex among female students to halt the transmission of HIV among generation.

description: Liquids composed of self-propelled particles have been experimentally realized using molecular, colloidal, or macroscopic constituents. These active liquids can flow spontaneously even in the absence of an external drive. Unlike spontaneous active flow, the propagation of density waves in confined active liquids is not well explored. Here, we exploit a mapping between density waves on top of a chiral flow and electrons in a synthetic gauge field to lay out design principles for artificial structures termed topological active metamaterials. We design metamaterials that break time-reversal symmetry using lattices composed of annular channels filled with a spontaneously flowing active liquid. Such active metamaterials support topologically protected sound modes that propagate unidirectionally, without backscattering, along either sample edges or domain walls and despite overdamped particle dynamics. Our work illustrates how parity-symmetry breaking in metamaterial structure combined with microscopic irreversibility of active matter leads to novel functionalities that cannot be achieved using only passive materials.

description: This thesis uses livestreamed Fasting Prayer services (2020-21) at the largest Pentecostal church in Bangalore, India as the starting point to understand the experience of Christ being translated into the multiverse of the digital to produce the same experience of Christ in the physical. Herein I focus on Fasting Prayer services as it is these services that visibly work towards the enabling of a relationship with God. This also illuminates the complex network of digital mediation and fasting and prayer that works its interplay into the fabric of training the true Christian, and the ramifications it holds in the mission of “saving” India. Using this examination, this paper is committed to an understanding of Pentecostal worship as a multi-textured practice, building that feeling in a way that off-line worship could not, of the church holding a very realistic potential to Christianize India, leading to the exploration of the implications it holds in the milieu of rising Hindu nationalistic fervor in India. Marked by a spread and reach through the advances in technological dissemination, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, this new wave of Christianity points us towards its response in new forms of Hindu Nationalism like the Karnataka Anti-Conversion Bill 2021 to prevent the perceived dilution of Hindu identity. Contested along the Constitutional right of Freedom of Religion, this 2021 passed Bill in BJP-led Karnataka begs the question of Anti-Conversion being equated to anti-Christian, hinting at the slow but tell-tale signs of a burgeoning anti-Christian rhetoric emerging out of its shadows. The multiplicity of digital accesses highlighted here has both political and theological implications – both the church and the state, it seems are battling for the "soul" of India. One thinks that this soul rests in a primordial claim of Hinduism to the literal soil of India and the other that India belongs to Jesus, the only true sovereign.

description: In BaNiS2 a Dirac nodal-line band structure exists within a two-dimensional Ni square lattice system, in which significant electronic correlation effects are anticipated. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we discover signs of correlated-electron behavior, namely electronic nematicity appearing as a pair of C2-symmetry striped patterns in the local density-of-states at ~60 meV above the Fermi energy. In observations of quasiparticle interference, as well as identifying scattering between Dirac cones, we find that the striped patterns in real space stem from a lifting of degeneracy among electron pockets at the Brillouin zone boundary. We infer a momentum-dependent energy shift with d-form factor, which we model numerically within a density wave equation framework that considers spin-fluctuation-driven nematicity. This suggests an unusual mechanism driving the nematic instability, stemming from only a small perturbation to the Fermi surface, in a system with very low density of states at the Fermi energy. The Dirac points lie at nodes of the d-form factor, and are almost unaffected by it. These results highlight BaNiS2 as a unique material in which Dirac electrons and symmetry-breaking electronic correlations coexist.

description: Accounting for nebular emission when modeling galaxy spectral energy distributions (SEDs) is important, as both line and continuum emission can contribute significantly to the total observed flux. In this work, we present a new nebular emission model integrated within the Flexible Stellar Population Synthesis code that computes the total line and continuum emission for complex stellar populations using the photoionization code Cloudy. The self-consistent coupling of the nebular emission to the matched ionizing spectrum produces emission line intensities that correctly scale with the stellar population as a function of age and metallicity. This more complete model of galaxy SEDs will improve estimates of global gas properties derived with diagnostic diagrams, star formation rates based on H$α$, and stellar masses derived from NIR broadband photometry. Our models agree well with results from other photoionization models and are able to reproduce observed emission from H II regions and star-forming galaxies. Our models show improved agreement with the observed H II regions in the Ne III/O II plane and show satisfactory agreement with He II emission from $z=2$ galaxies when including rotating stellar models. Models including post-asymptotic giant branch stars are able to reproduce line ratios consistent with low-ionization emission regions (LIERs).

Electrostatic control of the Navier-Stokes equations for thin films

description: A robust control scheme is derived and tested for the Navier-Stokes equations for two-dimensional multiphase flow of a thin film underneath an inclined solid surface. Control is exerted via the use of an electrode parallel to the substrate, which induces an electric field in the gas phase, and a resultant Maxwell stress at the liquid-gas interface. The imposed potential at the second electrode is derived using a model predictive control loop, together with optimal control of a high-fidelity reduced-dimensional model. In this implementation the interfacial shape of the fluid is successfully controlled; however, the algorithm is sufficiently general to control any other quantity of interest.

description: Discriminating between quark- and gluon-initiated jets has long been a central focus of jet substructure, leading to the introduction of numerous observables and calculations to high perturbative accuracy. At the same time, there have been many attempts to fully exploit the jet radiation pattern using tools from statistics and machine learning. We propose a new approach that combines a deep analytic understanding of jet substructure with the optimality promised by machine learning and statistics. After specifying an approximation to the full emission phase space, we show how to construct the optimal observable for a given classification task. This procedure is demonstrated for the case of quark and gluons jets, where we show how to systematically capture sub-eikonal corrections in the splitting functions, and prove that linear combinations of weighted multiplicity is the optimal observable. In addition to providing a new and powerful framework for systematically improving jet substructure observables, we demonstrate the performance of several quark versus gluon jet tagging observables in parton-level Monte Carlo simulations, and find that they perform at or near the level of a deep neural network classifier. Combined with the rapid recent progress in the development of higher order parton showers, we believe that our approach provides a basis for systematically exploiting subleading effects in jet substructure analyses at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and beyond.

Discovery of a Redback Millisecond Pulsar Candidate: 3FGL J0212.1+5320

description: We present a multi-wavelength study of the unidentified Fermi object, 3FGL J0212.1+5320. Within the 95% error ellipse, Chandra detects a bright X-ray source (i.e., F(0.5-7keV) = 1.4e-12 erg/cm^2/s), which has a low-mass optical counterpart (M < 0.4 Msun and T ~ 6000 K). A clear ellipsoidal modulation is shown in optical/infrared at 20.87 hours. The gamma-ray properties of 3FGL J0212.1+5320 are all consistent with that of a millisecond pulsar, suggesting that it is a gamma-ray redback millisecond pulsar binary with a low-mass companion filling > 64% of the Roche-lobe. If confirmed, it will be a redback binary with one of the longest orbital periods known. Spectroscopic data taken in 2015 from the Lijiang observatory show no evidence of strong emission lines, revealing that the accretion is currently inactive (the rotation-powered pulsar state). This is consistent with the low X-ray luminosities (Lx ~ 10^32 erg/s) and the possible X-ray modulation seen by Chandra and Swift. Considering that the X-ray luminosity and the high X-ray-to-gamma-ray flux ratio (8%) are both comparable to that of the two known gamma-ray transitional millisecond pulsars, we suspect that 3FGL J0212.1+5320 could be a potential target to search for future transition to the accretion active state.
