The understanding of the nature of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays is one of the most intriguing open questions for current and future observatories. These particles are expected to be accelerated in extragalactic sources. Because of their…
A short review of phenomenological and experimental aspects of extra spatial dimensions at colliders is presented.
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…
The conception of cool dark cosmic dust has been proposed. The process of accumulation of absorbed energy by dust of such kind is considered. The conception of accumulation horizon is introduced. The possible role of cool dark cosmic dust…
In this poster I briefly review several articles on astrophysics of old isolated neutron stars, which were published in 1994-99 by my co-authors and myself.
We give a snapshot of the rapidly developing field of ultracold polar molecules abd walk the reader through the papers appearing in this topical issue.
A review of the status of the knowledge in the field of High-energy cosmic particles is presented. The spectrum, arrival direction distribution and composition measurements are summarized, together with some implications for the…
Interstellar dust appears in a number of roles in the interstellar medium. Historically, the most familiar one is as a source of extinction in the optical. Absorbed optical and ultraviolet light heats the dust, whence infrared (including…
This article reviews three related topics: the extragalactic background l ight and its sources, evolution models for the dust absorption and emission in galaxies, and empirical constraints on these transfer pr ocesses in nearby starburst…
I discuss some compelling suggestions about particles which could be the dark matter in the universe, with special attention to experimental searches for them.
We present a three-dimensional model of polarised galactic dust emission that takes into account the variation of the dust density, spectral index and temperature along the line of sight, and contains randomly generated small scale…
A review of recent developments in the analyses of supersymmetric dark matter is given.
These proceedings are based on an invited review talk at the 7th Meeting on Cosmic Dust. The scope of the meeting was broad, covering dust-related topics in areas from comets to debris disks and high-redshift galaxies. This is therefore…
We review observational, experimental and theoretical results related to Dark Matter.
The diffuse gas in and nearby the Milky Way plays an important role in the evolution of the entire Galaxy. It has a complex structure characterized by neutral, weakly and highly ionized gas, dust, and molecules. We probe this gas through…
The past century of interstellar dust has brought us from first ignoring it to finding that it is an important component of the interstellar medium and plays an important role in the evolution of galaxies, the formation of stars and…
This is an article for a special edition of "European Review" with a focus on the topic "Causality".
Cosmic rays represent one of the most fascinating research themes in modern astronomy and physics. After almost a century since their discovery, a huge amount of scientific literature has been written on this topic and it is not always easy…
The Ulysses spacecraft, launched in October 1990, orbits the Sun on a polar trajectory. The spacecraft is equipped with a highly sensitive impact- ionization dust detector which can in situ measure cosmic dust grains in the mass range 10^-9…
