DARK ENERGY MODELS WITH VARIABLE EQUATION OF STATE PARAMETER
Two phenomenological variable Λ models, viz.Λ ~ (ȧ/a)2 and Λ ~ ρ, have been studied under the assumption that the equation of state parameter ω is a function of time. The selected Λ models are found to be equivalent both in four and five dimensions. The possibility of signature flip of the deceleration parameter is also shown.

Periodicity of ~155 days in solar electron fluence
In this paper we have investigated the occurrence rate of high energetic(E>10 MeV) solar electron flares measured by IMP-8 spacecraft of NASA for solar cycle 21 (June, 1976 to August, 1986) first time by three different methods to detect periodicities accurately. Power-spectrum analysis confirms a periodicity ~155 days which is in consistent with the result of Chowdhury and Ray (2006), that "Rieger periodicity" was operated throughout the cycle 21 and it is independent on the energy of the electron fluxes.

Do Solar System Tests Permit Higher Dimensional General Relativity?
We perform a survey whether higher dimensional Schwarzschild space-time is compatible with some of the solar system phenomena. As a test we examine four well known solar system effects, viz., (1) Perihelion shift, (2) Bending of light, (3) Gravitational redshift, and (4) Gravitational time delay. It is shown, under a N-dimensional solutions of Schwarzschild type very narrow class of metrics, that the results related to all these physical phenomena are mostly incompatible with the higher dimensional version of general relativity. We compare all these restricted results with the available data in the literature.

Anisotropic strange star with de Sitter spacetime
Stars can be treated as self-gravitating fluid. Krori and Barua (J. Phys. A., Math. Gen. 8:508, 1975) gave an analytical solution to that kind of fluids. In this connection, we propose a de Sitter model for an anisotropic strange star with the Krori–Barua spacetime. We incorporate the existence of the cosmological constant on a small scale to study the structure of anisotropic strange stars and come to the conclusion that this doping is very well compatible with the well-known physical features of strange stars.

The dark energy equation of state
ABSTRACT We perform a study of cosmic evolution with an equation of state parameter ω(t) = ω 0 +ω 1 (tH/H˙ ) by selecting a phenomenological Λ model of the form, Λ˙ ∼ H 3 . This simpleproposition explains both linearly expanding and inﬂation ary Universes with a single set ofequations. We notice that the inﬂation leads to a scaling in t he equation of state parameter,ω(t), and hence in equation of state. In this approach, one of its two parameters have been pinpointed and the other have been delineated. It has been possible to show a connection betweendark energy and Higgs-Boson.Key words: gravitation - cosmological parameters - cosmology: theory- early Universe. 1 INTRODUCTIONCosmological research is mainly concerned with time (and in somecases space as well) evolution of various physical parameters likescale factor, Hubble parameter, matter-energy density etc. Alongwith these parameters, in recent years a new physical entity Λ hasresurrected in the foreground of cosmology. In fact, Λ has becomean essential part of the ﬁeld equations of Einstein after som e ob-servational results (Riess et al. 1998; Perlmutter et al. 1999) indi-cated towards an accelerating Universe. It is believed by most ofthe physicists that the cosmological parameter Λ is responsible fordriving the present acceleration because it can exert negative pres-sure. Moreover, due to some ﬁne-tuning problem (known as cos-mological constant problem), Λ is regarded as a variable quantityrather than a constant.Now, in order to specify exact time-dependence of the un-known physical quantities including Λ, one has to take recourse ofa relationship between cosmic pressure p and matter-energy den-sity ρ involving the equation of state parameter ω. Mathemati-cally speaking, one variable quantity can depend on the productof two other variable quantities. So, one may construct ω as a func-tion of time, red-shift or scale factor (Chervon & Zhuravlev2000;Zhuravlev 2001; Peebles & Ratra 2003). In fact, values of ω at dif-ferent stages of cosmic evolution suggest that it may evolve withtime. As an instance, for the present pressure-less Universe, thevalue of ω is considered as zero, whereas its value was 1/3 in theearly radiation dominated Universe. However, it is convenient toconsider ω as a constant quantity because observational data canhardly distinguish between a varying and a constant equation of

Tolman–Bayin type static charged fluid spheres in general relativity
In a static spherically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell spacetime the class of astrophysical solution found out by Ray and Das (2002) and Pant and Sah (1979) are revisited here in connection to the phenomenological relationship between the gravitational and electromagnetic fields. It is qualitatively shown that the charged relativistic stars of Tolman (1939) and Bayin (1978) type are of purely electromagnetic origin. The existence of this type of astrophysical solutions is a probable extension of Lorentz’s conjecture that electr on-like extended charged particle possesses only ‘electromagnetic mass’ and no ‘material mas s’.

Compact strange stars with a medium dependence in gluons at finite temperature
Aims. The possible existence of strange stars in the universe will help in the understanding of various properties of quantum chromodynamics, like asymptotic freedom and chiral symmetry restoration, which is otherwise very difficult to prove in laboratory experiments. Methods. Strange star properties were calculated using large color approximation with built-in chiral symmetry restoration. A relativistic Hartree Fock calculation was performed using the Richardson potential as an interquark interaction. This potential has the asymptotic freedom and a confinement-deconfinement mechanism built into it and the present calculation employs an application of this potential with modified two scale parameters Λ and $\Lambda^{\prime}$, to find a new set of equations of state for strange quark matter. The linear confinement string tension from lattice calculations is 350 MeV and the Coulomb -like part has the parameter 100 MeV from deep inelastic scattering experiments. We also consider the effect of temperature, on gluon mass in a simple way, in addition to the usual density dependence, Results. We obtained a set of new equation of states for strange quark matter and also found that the transition temperature from hadronic matter to strange matter is at 80 MeV, close to the 100 MeV estimated in literature. Conclusions. Formation of strange stars may be the only signal for formation of quark-gluon plasma with asymptotic freedom and chiral symmetry restoration and this may be observable through many processes – such as for example through delayed γ ray afterglow.

Some simple models for quark stars
We find two new classes of exact solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell equations. The solutions are obtained by considering charged anisotropic matter with a linear equation of state consistent with quark stars. The field equations are integrated by specifying forms for the measure of anisotropy and a gravitational potential which are physically reasonable. The solutions found generalize the Mark-Harko model and the Komathiraj-Maharaj model. A graphical analysis indicates that the matter variables are well behaved.

Possible evidence of surface vibration of strange stars from stellar observations
Emission lines in the eV and keV range by certain stellar candidates from their recent analysis invoke the question of their possible origin. The stars under consideration are 4U 0614+091 (0.65, 0.86 and 1.31 keV), 2S 0918-549 (0.8 keV with width 55 eV), 4U 1543-624 (0.7 keV), 4U 1850 -087 (0.7 keV) and 4U 1820-30 (0.6 and 0.9 keV) and also the 0.6-keV excess emission in RX J1 70930.2-263927. Recently, it has been suggested that the resonance absorption at ∼ 0.7, 1.4, 2.1 and 2.8 keV in 1E1207-5209 and 0.35, 0.7 and 1.4 keV in RX J1856.5-3754 are due to harmonic surface vibrations in strange stars. We propose that these harmonic vibrations may also be responsible for emission lines in the above mentioned compact stellar candidates.

Equation of state for asymmetric nuclear matter with infinite-order summation of ring diagrams
The particle-particle hole-hole ring-diagram summation method is employed to obtain the equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter over a wide range of asymmetry fraction. Compared with Brueckner Hartree-Fock and model-space Brueckner Hartree-Fock calculations, this approach gives a softer equation of state, increased symmetry energy and a lower value for the incompressibility modulus which agrees quite well with the values used in the hydrodynamical model for the supernovae explosion.
