We studied timing solutions of the three magnetars SWIFT J1822.3-1606, SGR J1833-0832 and Swift J1834.9-0846. We extracted the residuals of pulse arrival times with respect to the constant pulse frequency derivative. Using polynomial estimator techniques, we estimated the noise strengths of the sources. Our results showed that the noise strength and spin-down rate are strongly correlated, indicating that increase in spin-down rate leads to more torque noise on the magnetars. We are in progress of extending our analysis to the other magnetars.

Using RXTE, Chandra, XMM-Newton and Swift observations, we construct the power spectra and torque noise strengths of magnetars for the first time. For some of the sources, on time-scales of months to years, we measure strong red noise that might be a consequence of their outbursts. We compare the noise strengths of magnetars with those of radio pulsars by investigating the possible correlations of noise strength with spin-down rate, magnetic field and age. Using these correlations, we find that the noise st...
Development of a pulsed fiber laser for ladar system
Serim, Muhammed Miraç; Baykal, Altan; İnam, Sıtkı Çağdaş; Department of Physics (2012)
IIn this thesis, the recently discovered Soft Gamma Ray Repeaters SGR J1833-0832, SWIFT J1822.3-1606 and SWIFT J1834.9-0846 are analysed using the archival Swift, RXTE, Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. The period fluctuations and timing noise properties of these sources are investigated. Spectral characteristics and long term frequency evolution of these sources are presented. Investigation for timing noise structure of these magnetars has shown a correlation between first frequency derivative of the sp...
Rigorous Solutions of Large-Scale Scattering Problems Discretized with Hundreds of Millions of Unknowns
Guerel, L.; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2009-09-18)
We present fast and accurate solutions of large-scale scattering problems using a parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). By employing a hierarchical partitioning strategy, MLFMA can be parallelized efficiently on distributed-memory architectures. This way, it becomes possible to solve very large problems discretized with hundreds of millions of unknowns. Effectiveness of the developed simulation environment is demonstrated on various scattering problems involving canonic...
Thread-based analysis of patterns in VMT
Çakır, Murat Perit; Zhou, Nan; Stahl, Gerry (Springer, 2009-01-01)
In this chapter we present a thread-based approach for analyzing synchronous collaborative math problem-solving activities. Threading information is shown to be an important resource for analyzing collaborative activities, especially for conducting sequential analysis of interaction among participants of a small group. We propose a computational model based on thread information, which allows us to idenepsy patterns of interaction and their sequential organization in computer-supported collaborative environ...
Predictive uncertainty quantification for Bayesian Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) in hypocentre estimation problem
Izzatullah, M.; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Waheed, U.B.; Alkhalifah, T. (2022-01-01)
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have appeared on the scene as a flexible and a versatile framework for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), along with any initial or boundary conditions. An important component of these solutions, especially when using the data as a boundary condition, is our confidence in their accuracy. There has been little study of PINN accuracy as an inversion tool. We introduce an approximate Bayesian framework for estimating predictive uncertainties in Physics-Infor...
