Conference summary presentation given at HCP2002, Karlsruhe, Germany, Sep 29-Oct 4, 2002.
In this talk, I have discussed some issues of recent interest and activity in the field of neutrino astrophysics and cosmology. The topics are: (1)~The origin of high peculiar velocities of pulsars; (2)~Energization of the supernova shock…
Pulsar timing arrays will be a window into the gravitational wave background
STAR collected data in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV with transverse and longitudinal beam polarizations during the initial running periods in 2002--2004 at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National…
To be published in the proceedings of IAU Symposium 239 "Convection in Astrophysics" (ed. F. Kupka, I. W. Roxburgh, K. L. Chan). Content: 1. From Nice to Prague, 2. The triumph of 3-D simulations, 3. How to lower the cost - what else can be…
We review and update the current status of the observed anomalies in stellar cooling and their interpretation in terms of axions and axion like particles.
A multi-disciplinary team recently came together online to discuss the application of sonification in astronomy, focussing on the effective use of sound for scientific discovery and for improving accessibility to astronomy research and…
The ZEUS detector has been upgraded in a number of areas to prepare for the physics opportunities of HERA II. These upgrades, and their physics rationale and promise, are briefly outlined. The measurement of polarisation at HERA II, and its…
(abridged) The activities of the Commission have continued to focus on controlling unwanted light and radio emissions at observatory sites, monitoring of conditions at observatory sites, and education and outreach. Commission members have…
This paper is a report from a recent meeting on "the Future of high-resolution imaging in the visible and infrared", reviewing the astronomical drivers for development and the technological advances that might boost performance. Each of the…
Pulsar timing, i.e. the analysis of the arrival times of pulses from a pulsar, is a powerful tool in modern astrophysics. It allows us to measure the time delays of an electromagnetic signal caused by a number of physical processes as the…
Two-imcompressible phase model of star is briefly revised. Effects of rotation and general relativity are considered.
We present a mock catalogue for the Physics of the Accelerating Universe Survey (PAUS) and use it to quantify the competitiveness of the narrow band imaging for measuring spectral features and galaxy clustering. The mock agrees with…
Joint contributions of the Telescope Array Collaboration and the Pierre Auger Collaboration to the 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2017), 12-20 July 2017, Bexco, Busan, Korea.
The E877 experiment was dedicated to the study of hadron distributions in Au+Au collisions at the AGS. Here, we will mainly present results from the analysis of the data obtained from the last data taking run, which took place in the fall…
This is a Concluding Talk, not a Summary of the Conference. I will discuss some of the highlights that particularly impressed me (a subjective choice) and make some comments on the status and the prospects of neutrino mass and mixing.
A review is presented of the current status of experimental searches for physics beyond the standard model in rare $\tau$ decays.
The development of infrared observational facilities has revealed a number of massive stars in obscured environments throughout the Milky Way and beyond. The determination of their stellar and wind properties from infrared diagnostics is…
This paper is an extended summary of the talk I gave at IAU Symposium "New Horizons in Time Domain Astronomy" (Oxford, 2011). I first review the history of transients (which is intimately related to the advent of wide-field telescopic…
By exploiting the relatively long lifetime of the tau lepton, we propose several novel methods for searching for new physics at an electron-positron collider. We consider processes that involve final states consisting of a tau lepton pair…
