The Galactic Center (GC) is surrounded by plasma lobes that extend up to ~14 kpc above and below the plane. Until now, UV absorption studies of these lobes have only focused on high-velocity components (|v_LSR| > 100 km/s) because low- and…

We report on a strong delay in light propagation through bulk GaN, detected by time-of-flight spectroscopy. The delay increases resonantly as the photon energy approaches the energy of a neutral-donor bound exciton (BX), resulting in a…
Significant absorption of radiation is usually accompanied by refraction. This is not the case for $\gamma$ rays travelling cosmic distances. We show that the real and imaginary parts of the refraction index are indeed commensurable, as…
