Low-frequency radio observations are revealing an increasing number of diffuse synchrotron sources from galaxy clusters, dominantly in the form of radio halos or radio relics. The existence of this diffuse synchrotron emission indicates the…
In star-forming galaxies, the far-infrared (FIR) and radio-continuum luminosities obey a tight empirical relation over a large range of star-formation rates (SFR). We examine magneto-hydrodynamic galaxy simulations with cosmic rays (CRs),…
We estimate the spectral index, beta, of polarized synchrotron emission as observed in the 9 yr WMAP sky maps using two methods, linear regression ("T-T plot") and maximum likelihood. We partition the sky into 24 disjoint sky regions, and…
The RXTE satellite observed the Coma cluster for 177 ksec during November and December 2000, a second observation motivated by the intriguing results from the first 87 ksec observation in 1996. Analysis of the new dataset confirms that…

We investigate the non-thermal X-ray emission from Cas A. For the hard X-ray continuum we test the model proposed by Laming, which invokes bremsstrahlung from electrons accelerated by lower hybrid plasma waves. The justification for this…

We investigate the spatial and spectral properties of non-thermal emission from clusters of galaxies at gamma-ray energies between 10 keV and 10 TeV due to inverse-Compton (IC) emission, pion-decay and non-thermal bremsstrahlung (NTB) from…
Synchrotron emission is believed to be a major radiation mechanism during gamma-ray bursts' (GRBs) prompt emission phase. A significant drawback of this assumption is that the theoretical predicted spectrum, calculated within the framework…
The main goals of this study is to use the information from both WMAP intensity and polarization data to do a separation of the Galactic components, with a focus on the synchrotron and anomalous emissions. Our analysis is made at 23 GHz…
Omega Centauri, the largest known globular cluster in the Milky Way, is believed to be the remains of a dwarf galaxy's core. Giving its potential abundance of dark matter (DM), it is an attractive target for investigating the nature of this…
