We present an overview of the cosmic shear results obtained so far. We focus on the 2-point statistics only. Evidences supporting the cosmological origin of the measured signal are reviewed, and issues related to various systematics are…
The possibilities of unlike particle correlations for a study of particle delays and spatial shifts in relativistic heavy ion collisions are demonstrated. This report represents the unpublished Ref. [4] in the paper by S. Voloshin et al.,…
In this review, we present a brief description of observational efforts to understand the Galactic thick disk and its relation to the other Galactic components. This review primarily focused on elemental abundance patterns of the thick disk…
Dust grains play a central role in the physics and chemistry of cosmic environments. They influence the optical and thermal properties of the medium due to their interaction with stellar radiation; provide surfaces for the chemical…
This article gives an overview, aimed at theoretical particle physicists, of some recent developments in cosmology.
Science opportunities and recommendations concerning optical/infrared polarimetry for the upcoming decade in the field of cosmology. Community-based White Paper to Astro2010 in response to the call for such papers.
I discuss some compelling suggestions about particles which could be the dark matter in the universe, with special attention to experimental searches for them.
This editorial from the PASP Special Focus Issue "Techniques and Methods for Astrophysical Data Visualization" summarizes contributions from authors, their software and tutorials, video abstracts, and 3D content. PASP and IOP have made this…
Experimental results on ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are briefly reviewed and their interpretation is discussed. The results related to principal observables (arrival directions, energies and composition) of primary particles of extended…
In this brief WEB note we comment on recent papers related to our paper "On Acceleration Without Dark Energy".
A modified version of this paper is under process and with a new title and abstract. Hence, this version of the article is completely withdrawn.
This is the draft version of a review paper which is going to appear in "Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics"
Although dust is widely found in astrophysics, forming dust is surprisingly difficult. The proper combination of low temperature (<2000 K) and high density is mainly found in the winds of late-type giant and supergiant stars which, as a…
This paper is a short introduction to a special issue on philosophy of cosmology, published in the May 2014 issue of Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics. I briefly introduce the philosophy of cosmology, and then provide a…
This report is the first of two addenda to the CLOUD proposal at CERN (physics/0104048), which aims to test experimentally the existence a link between cosmic rays and cloud formation, and to understand the microphysical mechanism. The…
In this contributed paper we discuss some aspects of scenarios with Extra Dimensions at the LHC and in cosmic rays.
We present the impact rates of dust particles recorded by the Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) aboard the Cassini spacecraft. The "dust counters" evaluate the quality of an impact and give rise to the apparent density of dust particles in space.…
We present the severe, systematic uncertainties currently facing our understanding of dust emission, which stymie our ability to truly exploit dust as a tool for studying galaxy evolution. We propose a program of study to tackle these…
The exotic cosmic ray events are reviewed. Theoretical attempts to explain the Centauro-like phenomena are summarized. Results of accelerator experiments looking for Centauro-related objects are discussed. The discussion is completed with…
This report discusses the possibilities for observational tests of current models and ideas regarding the origin of the Galactic Cosmic Rays using facilities which are already available.
