Ionized bubble sizes during reionization trace physical properties of the first galaxies. JWST's ability to spectroscopically confirm and measure Lyman-alpha (Ly$\alpha$) emission in sub-L* galaxies opens the door to mapping ionized bubbles…

We study dynamics of circumstellar discs, with a focus on the $\beta$ Lyrae A binary system. This system with ongoing mass transfer has been extensively observed, using photometry, spectroscopy and interferometry. All these observations…

We present a high-quality, homogeneous sample of 157 H$\beta$ reverberation-mapped active galactic nuclei (RM AGNs) spanning redshifts $0.00308 \leq z \leq 0.8429$, which is approximately 3.8 times larger than the previously available…

The ionized interstellar medium contains au-scale (and below) structures that scatter radio waves from pulsars, resulting in scintillation. Power spectral analysis of scintillation often shows parabolic arcs, with curvatures that encode the…

Infrared emission from the dust shell around IRC+10216 is analysed in detail, employing a self-consistent model for radiatively driven winds around late-type stars that couples the equations of motion and radiative transfer in the dust. The…

Observations of light isotopes in cosmic rays provide valuable information on their origin and propagation in the Galaxy. Using the data collected by the AMS-01 experiment in the range ~0.2-1.5 GeV/nucleon, we compare the measurements on…

We deal with the linearized model of the acoustic wave propagation generated by small bubbles in the harmonic regime. We estimate the waves generated by a cluster of $M$ small bubbles, distributed in a bounded domain $\Omega$, with relative…

Relations between the observed quantities for a beamed radio jet, apparent transverse speed and apparent luminosity (beta_app,L), and the intrinsic quantities, Lorentz factor and intrinsic luminosity (gamma,L_o), are investigated. The…

Current measurements of the $\gamma$-ray Fermi bubbles (FB) are based on model-dependent tracers, carry substantial systematic uncertainties, and are at some tension with each other. We show that gradient filters pick out the FB edges,…

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…

The vertical diffusive halo size of the Galaxy, $L$, is a key parameter for dark matter indirect searches. It can be better determined thanks to recent AMS-02 data. We set constraints on $L$ from Be/B and $^{10}$Be/Be data, and we performed…

Observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) have been used to determine the column densities of D I, O I, and N I along seven sight lines that probe the local interstellar medium (LISM) at distances from 37…

We present a systematic study of halo characteristics in the neutron-rich isotopes 28-32Ne within the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc). Microscopic density distributions are analyzed in coordinate space,…

The role of energetic outflows from galactic nuclei in shaping galaxy formation and evolution is still shrouded in uncertainty. In this study, we shed light on this complex phenomenon by presenting evidence for a large-scale bipolar…

Investigating the bubbles generated by the interaction between asymptotic giant branch stellar outflows and the interstellar medium (ISM) is pivotal for elucidating the mechanism by which evolved low- to intermediate-mass stars enrich the…

The submillimeter opacity of dust in the diffuse Galactic interstellar medium (ISM) has been quantified using a pixel-by-pixel correlation of images of continuum emission with a proxy for column density. We used three BLAST bands at 250,…

The possibility that an unconventional depletion in the center of the charge density distribution of certain nuclei occurs due to a purely quantum mechanical effect has attracted theoretical and experimental attention in recent years. We…

We describe the development of the model for interstellar gamma-ray emission that is the standard adopted by the LAT team and is publicly available. The model is based on a linear combination of templates for interstellar gas column density…

Particle dynamics are investigated in plasma turbulence, using self-consistent kinetic simulations, in two dimensions. In steady state, the trajectories of single protons and proton-pairs are studied, at different values of plasma "beta"…

Neutral hydrogen (HI) bubbles and shells are common in the interstellar medium (ISM). Studying their properties provides insight into the characteristics of the local ISM as well as the galaxy in which the bubbles reside. We report the…
