We summarize the Focus Meeting (FM10) "Nano Dust in Space and Astrophysics" held in Vienna, Austria on 28-29 August 2018 during the 30th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The theme of this focus meeting is…
Existing (Spitzer Space Telescope) and upcoming (Herschel Space Telescope) facilities are deepening our understanding of the role of dust in tracing the energy budget and chemical evolution of galaxies. The tools we are developing while…
We aim to explore the capabilities of dust emission and rays for probing the properties of the interstellar medium in the nearby anti-centre region, using gamma-ray observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), and the thermal…
Cosmology, high-energy physics and astrophysics are converging on the study of large-scale magnetic fields. While the experimental evidence for the existence of large-scale magnetization in galaxies, clusters and superclusters is rather…
We will discuss the main relevant aspects of the physics of ultra high energy cosmic rays. After a short recap of the experimental evidences, we will review theoretical models aiming at describing the sources of these extremely energetic…
Premise: This report is intended to provide useful background and information on how we find detect and compile Planetary Nebulae PNe candidates and then verify them. It is for postgraduate students entering the field and for more general…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to the existence of main results in the literature.
In these notes I try to introduce the reader to the topic of axions: their theoretical motivation and expected phenomenology, their role in astrophysics and as dark matter candidate, and the experimental techniques to detect them. Special…
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…
This is a two part paper which discusses various issues of cosmic contact related to what so far appears to be a self-imposed censorship implied by the customary acceptance of the Archimedean assumption on space-time.
Cosmos has always sparked human curiosity to unveil and speculate its fascinating secrets. This curiosity has ultimately opened a window to other worlds. After years of observation, computation, and data analysis, scientists have revealed…
Observations have revealed unexpectedly large amounts of dust in high-redshift galaxies and its origin is still much debated. Valiante et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1661) suggested the net stellar dust production of the quasar host galaxy SDSS…
A few corrections and comments are made upon a previously published paper by the author (Gen. Rel. Gravit. 24, 199 (1992)), on the subject of cosmological models with compact spatial sections.
Condensation of circumstellar dust begins with formation of molecular clusters close to the stellar photosphere. These clusters are predicted to act as condensation cores at lower temperatures and allow efficient dust formation farther away…
This is a written version of a series of lectures aimed at undergraduate students in astrophysics/particle theory/particle experiment. We summarize the important progress made in recent years towards understanding high energy astrophysical…
The paper "Calorimetric Dark Matter Detection with Galactic Center Gas Clouds" (Bhoonah et al. 2018) aims to derive limits on dark matter interactions by demanding that heat transfer due to DM interactions is less than that by astrophysical…
There is a long-standing discussion in the astrophysical/astrochemical community as to the structure and morphology of dust grains in various astrophysical environments (e.g., interstellar clouds, protostellar envelopes, protoplanetary and…
I give a concise introduction into high energy cosmic ray physics, including also few related aspects of high energy gamma-ray and neutrino astrophysics. The main emphasis is placed on astrophysical questions, and the level of the…
