Pulsars provide unique probes for the {\it large-scale} interstellar magnetic field in the Galactic disk. The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey has discovered many distant pulsars which enables us for the first time to explore the magnetic…
Several independent lines of evidence reveal that a relatively strong and highly ordered magnetic field is present throughout the Galaxy's central molecular zone (CMZ). The field within dense clouds of the central molecular zone is…
Current burning issues in stellar physics, for both hot and cool stars, concern their magnetism. In hot stars, stable magnetic fields of fossil origin impact their stellar structure and circumstellar environment, with a likely major role in…
The origin of the ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs, $E>10^{18}$ eV) is still uncertain. However, great progress has been achieved due to the data taken by The Pierre Auger and Telescope Array observatories. The UHECR flux presents two…
We briefly review sources of cosmic rays, their composition and spectra as well as their propagation in the galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields, both regular and fluctuating. A special attention is paid to the recent results of the…
Radio continuum and polarization observations of several nearby galaxies allowed to determine their vertical scaleheights, magnetic field strengths and large-scale magnetic field patterns. They all show a similar large-scale magnetic field…
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are atomic nuclei from space with vastly higher energies than any other particles ever observed. Their origin and chemical composition remain a mystery. As we show here, the large- and…
Even though magnetic fields play an important role in galaxy evolution, the redshift evolution of galactic-scale magnetic fields is not well constrained observationally. In this paper we aim to provide an observational constraint on the…
The Hubble Deep Field (North) and the flanking fields are used investigate the occurrence of multiple weak lensing deflections along the line of sight in relatively deep imaging data (z_lens ~ 0.6, z_source ~ 1.2). Ray tracing simulations…
We study the time dependent propagation of sub-ankle ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) originating from point-like Galactic sources. We show that drift in the Galactic magnetic field (GMF) may play an important role in the propagation…
The next generation of ultra high energy cosmic ray experiments will probably detect several dozens of events clustered around the direction towards each of the most powerful extragalactic sources. We develop a method which could make…
In this work, we show that ultralight dark photons, which couple to the Standard Model photon through kinetic mixing, can potentially source galactic scale magnetic fields. Although these magnetic fields would be too weak to detect at…
Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) are affected by solar modulation while they propagate through the heliosphere. The study of the time variation of GCR spectra observed at Earth can shed light on the underlying physical processes, specifically…
We argued that the standard field scalar potential couldn't be widely used for getting the adequate galaxies' curve lines and determining the profiles of dark matter their halo. For discovering the global properties of scalar fields that…
The influence of intergalactic magnetic fields on the strong gravitational lensing of blazar secondary gamma radiation is discussed. Currently, two cases of strong gravitational lensing of blazar gamma-radiation are known, where radiation…
Magnetic fields (MF) in the Local Supercluster (LSC) of galaxies may have profound consequences for the propagation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR). Faraday rotations measurements provide some informations about MF in compact…
(Shortened) We observed NGC 253 with the VLA in D-configuration and the Effelsberg 100-m telescope using radio continuum polarimetry. Observations at 6.2 cm and 3.6 cm were combined to calculate the RM distribution and to correct for…
Radio continuum observations of external galaxies provide us with an excellent outside view on the distribution of cosmic-ray electrons in the disc and halo. In this review, we summarise the current state of what we have learned from…
Inter-galactic magnetic fields can imprint their structure on the morphology of blazar-induced gamma ray halos. We show that the halo morphology arises through the interplay of the source's jet and a two-dimensional surface dictated by the…
We investigate two recent parameterizations of the galactic magnetic field with respect to their impact on cosmic nuclei traversing the field. We present a comprehensive study of the size of angular deflections, dispersion in the arrival…
