The detectability of charged SLAC-bag type structures is considered. These objects, known as Fermi balls, arise from the spontaneous symmetry breaking of a biased discrete symmetry in the early universe. Two classes of experimental searches…
The IceCube (IC) collaboration recently reported the detection of TeV-PeV extraterrestrial neutrinos whose origin is yet unknown. By the photon-neutrino connection in $pp$ and $p\gamma$ interactions, we use the \fermi-LAT observations to…
{\it Fermi}-LAT has recently detected two gamma ray bubbles disposed symmetrically with respect to the Galactic plane. The bubbles have been suggested to be in a quasi-steady state, inflated by ongoing star formation over the age of the…

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…
The origin of North Polar Spur (NPS) and Loop-I has been debated over almost half a century and is still unresolved. Most of the confusion is caused by the absence of any prominent counterparts of these structures in the southern Galactic…
The enigma of cosmic ray origin and propagation stands as a key question in particle astrophysics. The precise spatial and spectral measurements of diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission provide new avenues for unraveling this mystery. Based…
Over the past 16 years, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has significantly advanced our view of the GeV gamma-ray sky, yet several key questions remain - such as the composition of the isotropic gamma-ray background, the origin of the…
The radiative mechanism of coherent radio emission has remained an enigma since the discovery of pulsars, even the emergence of fast radio bursts (FRBs), which exhibit similarities to the single-pulse behavior of pulsars and have opened a…
We study a scenario in which the Fermi bubbles are formed through a Galactocentric outflow of gas and pre-accelerated cosmic-rays (CR). We take into account CR energy losses due to proton-proton interactions with the gas present in the…
Pairing is the fundamental requirement for fermionic superfluidity and superconductivity. To understand the mechanism behind pair formation is an ongoing challenge in the study of many strongly correlated fermionic systems. Cooper pairs are…
Observations of gamma-ray bursts by the Fermi satellite, capable of detecting photons in a very broad energy band: 8keV to >300GeV, have opened a new window for the study of these enigmatic explosions. It is widely assumed that photons of…
Many different physical processes have been suggested to explain the prompt gamma-ray emission in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Although there are examples of both bursts with photospheric and synchrotron emission origins, these distinct…
In a previous work, we have shown that the formation of the Fermi bubbles can be due to the interaction between winds launched from the hot accretion flow in Sgr A* and the interstellar medium (ISM). In that work, we focus only on the…
