This paper was written as part of a book entitled: "Questions of Modern Cosmology - Galileo's Legacy" which is a celebrative book dedicated to Galileo Galilei. The book is published in 2009, the International Year of Astronomy, since it is…

This is the first of three plenary talks with the same title given at the 28th ICRC in Tsukuba, Japan in August, 2003. A brief description of the techniques for detecting gamma rays at TeV energies is followed by a summary of the…

This is a report on the findings of the extragalactic science working group for the white paper on the status and future of TeV gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper was commissioned by the American Physical Society, and the full white paper…

We make a new estimate of the extragalactic radio background down to kHz frequencies based on the observed luminosity functions and radio spectra of normal galaxies and radio galaxies. We have constructed models for the spectra of these two…

A critical discussion is presented of the data analysis applied by Bernstein, Freedman and Madore (2002 ApJ, 571, 56; and ApJ 571, 85) in their measurement of the Extragalactic Background Light. There are questionable assumptions in the…

Talk presented at the conference ``Historical and Philosophical Reflections on the Foundations of Quantum Field Theory,'' at Boston University, March 1996. It will be published in the proceedings of this conference.

The possibilities of unlike particle correlations for a study of particle delays and spatial shifts in relativistic heavy ion collisions are demonstrated. This report represents the unpublished Ref. [4] in the paper by S. Voloshin et al.,…

This short note describes the history of cosmic ray research. A part of this document was presented orally at the international conference of CRIS 2010 held in Catania, Italy. The document is written being based on the English translation…

These proceedings contain research results presented during the Workshops "Quark Matter in Astro- and Particle Physics" held at the University of Rostock, November 27-29, 2000 and "Dynamical Aspects of the QCD Phase Transition" held at the…

We expand upon some topics reviewed and sketched in a book to appear with more details, embellishments, and some new material of a speculative nature.

In the framework of the study of extragalactic radio sources, we will focus on the importance of the spatial resolution at different wavelengths, and of the combination of observations at different frequency bands. In particular, a…

We have used the Marano1 field observations with ISOPHOT at 170 $\mu$m to search for the Cosmic Far-InfraRed Background fluctuations. This field is part of the FIRBACK project (Puget et al., 1999a). For the first time, fluctuations due to…

Theoretical views on particle acceleration in astrophysical sources and propagation of cosmic rays (CR) depend very much on the quality of the data, which become increasingly accurate each year and therefore more constraining. On the other…

Invited review given at special session on Digitizing the Sky at 1994 Summer AAS meeting, Minnesota.

Combined data from gamma-ray telescopes and cosmic-ray detectors have produced some new surprising insights regarding intergalactic and galactic magnetic fields, as well as extragalactic background light. We review some recent advances,…

This review is the updated and enlarged version of a talk delivered by J. S. on the occasion of the 1982 meeting of Nobel laureates at Lindau, and of talks given by B.-G. E. at several West German universities and Max Planck institutes in…

Background has played an important role in X-ray missions, limiting the exploitation of science data in several and sometimes unexpected ways. In this presentation I review past X-ray missions focusing on some important lessons we can learn…

This is a proceeding of a rapporteur talk given on ground-based gamma-ray astronomy at the 35th International Cosmic-Ray Conference (ICRC) held in 2017 in Busan, Republic of Korea. A total of ~300 contributions were presented during the…
