Man builds fire to smoke hams
No full textAn older man kneels on the floor of a smokehouse, building a fire under three hams hanging from hooks in the wall. Smoke rises from the fire below the hams. Palmer titled this small series "Ray and Ham Smoking." Ray's last name was not given
Man smokes hams

Ray Palmer: the Shaver Mystery
No full textJ'ai résumé à la page consacrée à Richard Shaver l'histoire du Shaver Mystery publié dans les pulps Amazing Stories et Fantastic Adventures par Ray Palmer à la fin des années 1940. Voici quelques documents remontant aux années 1950 et 1970 qui éclairent un peu cette histoire. Dans cet entretien extrait d'un documentaire de Stan Deyo réalisé en 1977, Ray Palmer décrit, quelques jours avant sa mort, le mystère Shaver.

Ray Palmer (1910-1977)
No full textRaymond A. Palmer est né en août 1910, à Milwaukee, dans le Wisconsin. La légende décrit Palmer comme un enfant fragile. Renversé par une automobile à l'âge de sept ans, il reste immobilisé de longs mois, la colonne vertébrale brisée, sans plus de possibilté de grandir normalement. A l'âge de treize ans, il passe à nouveau un long séjour alité. Durant ces longues périodes d'invalidité, le petit Palmer lit beaucoup. En avril 1926, à l'âge de 16 ans, il découvre dans les kiosques à journaux, c..
X-ray polarization in relativistic jets
No full textWe investigate the polarization properties of Comptonized X-rays from relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) using Monte Carlo simulations. We consider three scenarios commonly proposed for the observed X-ray emission in AGN: Compton scattering of blackbody photons emitted from an accretion disc; scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons and self-Comptonization of intrinsically polarized synchrotron photons emitted by jet electrons. Our simulations show that for Comptonization of disc and CMB photons, the degree of polarization of the scattered photons increases with the viewing inclination angle with respect to the jet axis. In both cases, the maximum linear polarization is ≈20 per cent. In the case of synchrotron self-Comptonization (SSC), we find that the resulting X-ray polarization depends strongly on the seed synchrotron photon injection site, with typical fractional polarizations P≈ 10–20 per cent when synchrotron emission is localized near the jet base, while P≈ 20–70 per cent for the case of uniform emission throughout the jet. These results indicate that X-ray polarimetry may be capable of providing unique clues to identify the location of particle acceleration sites in relativistic jets. In particular, if synchrotron photons are emitted quasi-uniformly throughout a jet, then the observed degree of X-ray polarization may be sufficiently different for each of the competing X-ray emission mechanisms (synchrotron, SSC or external Comptonization) to determine which is the dominant process. However, X-ray polarimetry alone is unlikely to be able to distinguish between disc and CMB Comptonization
