Abstract
We consider the gravitational drag for a massive object moving in the (almost) collisionless fluid made by magnetic monopoles: the drag mechanism may be relevant in the loss of angular momentum in binary systems; in particular for a known binary system in our galaxy associated with pulsar PSR 1913 + 16 we show that a monopole number density larger than 10-7 cm-3 (as the expected solar one) may induce an energy loss comparable or even larger than the one indebt to the gravitational radiation of the system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
