More than 90% of the Galactic gas-related gamma-ray emissivity above 1 GeV is attributed to the decay of neutral pions formed in collisions between cosmic rays and interstellar matter, with lepton-induced processes becoming increasingly…

We show that a one-component variable-emissivity-spectral-index model (the free-{\alpha} model) provides more physically motivated estimates of dust temperature at the Galactic polar caps than one- or two-component…

We present an analysis of simultaneous multifrequency measurements of the Galactic emission in the 1-10 GHz range with 18 degrees, angular resolution taken from a high altitude site. Our data yield a determination of the synchrotron…

We present H band spectroscopic and Halpha photometric observations of HD 100546 obtained with GPI and MagAO. We detect H band emission at the location of the protoplanet HD 100546b, but show that choice of data processing parameters…

We analyse WMAP 7-year temperature data, jointly modeling the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and Galactic foreground emission. We use the Commander code based on Gibbs sampling. Thus, from the WMAP7 data, we derive simultaneously the CMB…

For 2442 galaxies of the catalog, compiled based on the NED, SDSS, and CATS survey data with redshifts z, > 0.3 we conducted an analysis of the amplitude of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in the points,…

(abridged) We discuss the Galactic foreground emission between 20 and 100GHz based on observations by Planck/WMAP. The Commander component-separation tool has been used to separate the various astrophysical processes in total intensity.…

We present the first ground-based detection of thermal emission from an exoplanet in the H-band. Using HAWK-I on the VLT, we observed an occultation of WASP-19b by its G8V-type host star. WASP-19b is a Jupiter-mass planet with an orbital…

The Galactic center region near l$\approx0.2^0$ hosts a mixture of nonthermal linear filaments and thermal radio continuum features associated with the radio Arc. Chandra observations of this region reveal an X-ray filament and diffuse…

An object discovered during an infrared survey of the field near the quasar B2 0149+33 has an emission line at 2.25$\mu$m that we interpret as H$\alpha$ at a redshift of 2.43. The K-band image shows two compact components 10 kpc apart…

We present an estimate of the polarized spectral index between the Planck 30 and 44 GHz surveys in $3.7^\circ$ pixels across the entire sky. We use an objective reference prior that maximises the impact of the data on the posterior and…

The shocks produced in the intergalactic medium during large-scale structure formation accelerate a population of highly relativistic electrons which emit synchrotron radiation due to intergalactic magnetic fields. In a previous paper (Loeb…

Observations of the microwave sky using the Python telescope in its fifth season of operation at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica are presented. The system consists of a 0.75 m off-axis telescope instrumented with a HEMT…

Cosmic-ray (CR) leptons produce radio synchrotron radiation by gyrating in interstellar magnetic fields (B-field). Details of B-fields, CR electron distributions and propagation are still uncertain. We present developments in our modelling…

We present results of a pilot observational wide-field VLBI campaign on probing scattering properties of the partly ionized interstellar medium towards the Galactic plane sky region between $28^\circ<l<36^\circ$ and $|b|<1^\circ$. This…

The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) has observed the Galaxy at 4.76GHz with an angular resolution of $0.73^\circ$ full-width half-maximum, and detected Galactic synchrotron emission with high signal-to-noise ratio over the entire northern…

We studied the energy spectrum and the large-scale fluctuation of the X-ray background with the ASCA GIS based on the ASCA MSS and LSS observations. A total of 91 fields with Galactic latitude |b|>10 deg were selected with a sky coverage of…

We present near-infrared spectra obtained to search for Pa-alpha and molecular hydrogen lines in edge-darkened (FR I-type) radio galaxies with bright Halpha emission in the redshift range 0.0535<z<0.15. We find that all three galaxies in…

This paper reports detections of H$\alpha$ emission and stellar continuum out to approximately 30 physical kpc, and H$\alpha$ directionality in the outskirts of H$\alpha$-emitting galaxies (H$\alpha$ emitters) at $z=0.4$. This research…

We investigate the statistical properties of the polarized emission of extragalactic radio sources and estimate their contribution to the power spectrum of polarization fluctuations in the microwave region. The basic ingredients of our…
