Zane, S., Rea, N., Turolla, R., Nobili, L.
Within the magnetar scenario, the "twisted magnetosphere" model appears very promising in explaining the persistent X-ray emission from the Soft Gamma Repeaters and the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (SGRs...
Topology of magnetars external field. I. Axially symmetric fields (2009)
Pavan, L., Turolla, R., Zane, S., Nobili, L.
There is an increasing theoretical and observational evidence that the external magnetic field of magnetars may contain a toroidal component, likely of the same order of the poloidal one. Such...
Nobili, L., Turolla, R., Zane, S.
Recent models of spectral formation in magnetars called renewed attention on electron-photon scattering in the presence of ultra-strong magnetic fields. Investigations presented so far mainly...
Nobili, L., Turolla, R., Zane, S.
The anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma-repeaters are peculiar high-energy sources believed to host a magnetar, i.e. an ultra-magnetized neutron star. Their persistent, soft X-ray emission (~1-10...
Surgical treatment of drug-resistant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (2007)
Nobili, L., Francione, S., Mai, R., Cardinale, F., Castana, L., Tassi, L., ...
Of the cases with nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) ∼30% are refractory to antiepileptic medication, with several patients suffering from the effects of both ongoing seizures and disrupted...
Sleepiness in a Population of Italian Shift-work Policemen (2001)
Garbarino, S., Nobili, L., Balestra, V., Beelke, M., De Carli, F.
Various studies have shown that sleep disorders and daytime sleepiness are the more frequent disturbances reported by shift- workers. Shift-work interferes with both the quality and quantity of...
A Comptonization Model for Phase Lag Variability in GRS 1915+105 (2000)
Nobili, L., Turolla, R., Zampieri, L., Belloni, T.
In this Letter we propose a simple thermal comptonization model to account for the observed properties of the phase lags associated to the ``plateau'' intervals of GRS 1915+105. By invoking a...
Dynamical Comptonization in spherical flows: black hole accretion and stellar winds (1996)
Turolla, R., Zane, S., Zampieri, L., Nobili, L.
The transport of photons in steady, spherical, scattering flows is investigated. The moment equations are solved analytically for accretion onto a Schwarzschild black hole, taking into full account...
On the Mathematical Character of the Relativistic Transfer Moment Equations (1994)
Turolla, R., Zampieri, L., Nobili, L.
General--relativistic, frequency--dependent radiative transfer in spherical, differentially--moving media is considered. In particular we investigate the character of the differential operator...
Statistical thermodynamics of ordering systems (1993)
Nobili, L., Del Prete, A., Ducati, U., Cavallotti, P.
A statistical thermodynamic approximation for cooperative phenomena in Ising and Heisemberg systems has been developed. Description of order-disorder transformation in alloys as well as evaluation of...
