We present an analysis of the X-ray spectrum of the Local Bubble, obtained by simultaneously analyzing spectra from two XMM-Newton pointings on and off an absorbing filament in the Southern galactic hemisphere (b ~ -45 deg). We use the…
We analyse processes of electron acceleration in the Fermi Bubbles in order to define parameters and restrictions of the models, which are suggested for the origin of these giant radio and gamma-ray structures. In the case of leptonic…
Ever since the discovery by the Fermi mission that active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce copious amounts of high-energy emission, its origin has remained elusive. Using high-frequency radio interferometry (VLBI) polarization imaging, we…
Flat-band (FB) materials have emerged as promising platforms for exploring exotic quantum phases. While numerous candidates have recently been identified through spectroscopic techniques such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy,…
In November 2023, the Fermi Large Area Telescope detected a $\gamma$-ray flare from the high-redshift blazar GB6 B1428+4217 ($z=4.715$). We initiated a multi-wavelength follow-up campaign involving Swift, NuSTAR, the Sierra Nevada and…
The Fermi-LAT data revealed giant bubbles of emission above and below the Galactic plane with an energy spectrum significantly harder than seen from other directions. How the bubbles connect to the Galactic plane is unclear. We find that…
Using 7-year data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe I identify a sharp "edge" in the microwave haze at high Galactic latitude (35 deg < |b| < 55 deg) that is spatially coincident with the edge of the "Fermi Haze/Bubbles". This…
The enhanced star formation in the inner 100 pc of the Galaxy launches a superwind at ~1600 km s$^{-1}$ for M82-like parameters. The ram pressure of the wind is very low compared to more powerful starburst winds. I show that halo gas stops…
Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) observations reveal high-velocity and [NII]$\lambda6584$ emission lines in the same direction and velocity as ultraviolet absorption-line features that have been previously associated with the biconical…
The origin of the Fermi bubbles recently detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in the inner Galaxy is mysterious. In the companion paper Guo & Mathews (Paper I), we use hydrodynamic simulations to show that they could be produced…
We explore the impact of Fermi-like acceleration of Lyman-alpha (Ly{\alpha}) photons across shock fronts on the observed Ly{\alpha} spectral line shape. We first confirm the result of Neufeld & McKee (1988) that this mechanism gives rise to…
Radio galaxies are known to inflate lobes of hot relativistic plasmas into the intergalactic medium. Here we present hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical simulations of these hot plasma bubbles in FRII objects. We focus on the later…
We show that bimodal radio frequency spectra universally arise at intermediate temperatures in models of strongly interacting trapped Fermi gases. The bimodality is independent of superfluidity or pseudogap physics, depending only on the…
The model of a Local Hot Bubble has been widely accepted as providing a framework that can explain the ubiquitous presence of the soft X-ray background diffuse emission. We summarize the current knowledge on this local interstellar region,…
We report a correspondence between giant, polarized microwave structures emerging north from the Galactic plane near the Galactic center and a number of GeV gamma-ray features, including the eastern edge of the recently-discovered northern…
Chandra X-ray and HST far-ultraviolet (FUV) observations of three early-F supergiants have shed new light on a previous puzzle involving a prominent member of the class: Alpha Persei (HD20902: F5Ib). The warm supergiant is a moderately…
There is growing evidence that the Galactic Center Excess identified in the $\textit{Fermi}$-LAT gamma-ray data arises from a population of faint astrophysical sources. We provide compelling supporting evidence by showing that the…
We study a polarized Fermi gas and demonstrate that Fano-Feshbach (FF) resonances lead to the pairing of fermions and holes into long living massive bosonic modes (bifermions and biholes), which can be viewed as signatures of a first order…
Loop I is a nearby giant radio loop spanning over 100 degrees and centered on the Sco-Cen OB association. It may correspond to a superbubble formed by the joint action of stellar winds and supernova remnants. ROSAT observations revealed…
We present three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of buoyant gas in a typical cluster environment. The hot matter was injected continuously into a small region off-set from the cluster centre. In agreement with previous analytic…
