A brief introduction and overview of the astrochemistry of dust, ice and gas and their interplay is presented, aimed at non-specialists. The importance of basic chemical physics studies of critical reactions is illustrated through a number…

In this brief WEB note we comment on recent papers related to our paper "On Acceleration Without Dark Energy".

I give a brief overview of cosmic ray physics, highlighting some key questions and how they will be addressed by new experiments.

This article is the detailed version of a paper on dark matter, dark energy, and modified gravity, published in the December 2015-January 2016 special issue of "La Recherche" (in French)

This paper has been withdrawn because the models on which it was based have undergone significant changes and improvements. A new paper with the same title, based on the improved models, is accepted for publication in MNRAS and is available…

I review recent advances in the determination of the cosmic history of star formation, and its relevance in our understanding of the formation of structures. I emphasize the importance of dust reprocessing in the high--z universe, as…

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.

Contribution to a book entitled "Extraterrestrial seismology".

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…

We highlight recent theoretical and observational progress in several areas of neutron star astrophysics, and discuss the prospect for advances in the next decade.

The European Space Agency has invested heavily in two cornerstones missions; Herschel and Planck. The legacy data from these missions provides us with an unprecedented opportunity to study cosmic dust in galaxies so that we can answer…

Editorial for the Special Issue of "Zeitschrift fuer Physikalische Chemie" on "Hierarchical Colloidal Nanostructures"

This article (which appeared with illustrations) was the astrophysics/cosmology contribution to the historical series ``Pathways of Discovery'' which appeared in ``Science'' during last year.

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…

Cosmic rays with energies above $10^{18}$ eV are currently of considerable interest in astrophysics and are to be further studied in a number of projects which are either currently under construction or the subject of well-developed…

This is an erratum to our paper.

I discuss recent advances in the study of hydrogen reionization, focusing on progress that was achieved during the years 2010-2011. First, I discuss recent measurements of the progress of reionization. Next, I discuss recent observational…

We discuss the present status and future prospects for cosmic shear observations and their cosmological constraints. We review the evidences supporting the cosmological origin of the measured signal, and discuss the possible problems coming…
