The emission of the plerion G21.5-0.9 appears more extended in X rays than in radio. This is an unexpected result because it would imply that short-lived X-ray electrons may reach distances even larger than radio electrons. Applying an…
The spectrum emitted by the Broad Emission Line Regions of Active Galactic Nuclei can measure the luminosity of the central object and the chemical composition of the interstellar medium in a very young galaxy, and so constrain the…
The aim of this paper is first to review the derivation of a model describing the propagation of an optical wave in a photorefractive medium and to present various mathematical results on this model: Cauchy problem, solitary waves.

We study a particle propagation on a circle in the presence of a point interaction. We show that the one-particle Feynman kernel can be written into the sum of reflected and transmitted trajectories which are weighted by the elements of the…
Molecular clouds are supersonically turbulent. This turbulence governs the initial mass function and the star formation rate. In order to understand the details of star formation, it is therefore essential to understand the properties of…

Weak constitutive fluctuations in dispersive subsurface media can induce distributed clutter that reshapes the observation structure of ground-penetrating radar (GPR). This paper analyzes this effect for single-snapshot frequency-diverse…
We provide an introduction to complex photonic media, that is, composite materials with spatial inhomogeneities that are distributed over length scales comparable to or smaller than the wavelength of light. This blossoming field is firmly…

We present a model for the interpretation of the gamma-ray background emission from the Galactic halo, which we attribute to interaction of high-energy cosmic rays with dense molecular clumps. In a wide range of clump parameters we…

Future high spectral resolution telescopes will enable us to place tight constraints on turbulence in the intra-cluster medium through the line widths of strong emission lines. At the same time, these bright lines are the most prone to be…
