The physical bases of the detection and characterisation of extrasolar planets in the reflected light and thermal emission regimes are reviewed. They both have their advantages and disadvantages, including artefacts, in the determination of…
We examine changes in the molecular abundances resulting from increased heating due to a self-luminous planetary companion embedded within a narrow circumstellar disk gap. Using 3D models that include stellar and planetary irradiation, we…
The simplest cosmologies motivate the consideration of dark matter subcomponents that interact significantly with normal matter. Moreover, such strongly-coupled relics may have evaded detection to date if upon encountering the Earth they…
We present three-dimensional atmospheric circulation models of a hypothetical "warm Jupiter" planet, for a range of possible obliquities from 0-90 degrees. We model a Jupiter-mass planet on a 10-day orbit around a Sun-like star, since this…
Context. To enable radial velocity (RV) precision on the order of ~0.1 m/s required for the detection of Earth-like exoplanets orbiting solar-type stars, the main obstacle lies in mitigating the impact of stellar activity. Aims. This study…
Many quantum sensing suggestions rely on temporal correlations found in photon pairs generated by parametric down-conversion. In this work, we show that the temporal correlations in light with a thermal photon statistics can be equally…
The temperature distribution in presence of gravity, as measured by a local observer, is given by the Tolman expression. Here I derive the same only from the Gibbon's-Hawking-York surface term. In this process no explicit use of Einstein's…
We discuss images of M87 from 3.6 to 160 um obtained with Spitzer. As found previously, there is an excess in the far infrared over a simple power law interpolation from the radio to the resolved nonthermal features in the mid-infrared and…
The generation of ultra-relativistic positron beams with short duration ($\tau_{e^+} \leq 30$ fs), small divergence ($\theta_{e^+} \simeq 3$ mrad), and high density ($n_{e^+} \simeq 10^{14} - 10^{15}$ cm$^{-3}$) from a fully optical setup…
Radiative losses have traditionally been neglected in the calculation of thermal noise of transmissive optical elements because for the most commonly used geometries they are small compared to losses due to thermal conduction. We explore…
We performed a series of hydrodynamical calculations of an ultra-relativistic jet propagating through a massive star and the circumstellar matter to investigate the interaction between the ejecta and the circumstellar matter. We succeed in…
We derive Galactic continuum spectra from 5-96/cm from COBE/FIRAS observations. The spectra are dominated by warm dust emission, which may be fit with a single temperature in the range 16-21 K (for nu^2 emissivity) along each line of sight.…
Coherence properties of the infrared thermal radiation from individual heated nanowires are investigated as function of nanowire dimensions. Interfering the thermally induced radiation from a heated nanowire with its image in a nearby…
A class of extrasolar giant planets - the so-called `hot Jupiters' - orbit within 0.05 AU of their primary stars. These planets should be hot and so emit detectable infrared radiation. The planet HD 209458b is an ideal candidate for the…
It is long speculated that long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate froma relativistic jet emerging from a collapsing massive star progenitor. Although associations of core-collapsing supernovae with long GRB afterglows have been…
Recent radio observations support a picture for star formation where there is accretion of matter onto a central protostar with the ejection of molecular outflows that can affect the surrounding medium. The impact of a supersonic outflow on…
Confronting theoretical models with observations of thermal radiation emitted by neutron stars is one of the most important ways to understand the properties of both, superdense matter in the interiors of the neutron stars and dense…
Thermal emission is a universal phenomenon of stochastic electromagnetic emission from an object composed of arbitrary materials at elevated temperatures. A defining feature of this emission is the monotonic and rapid growth of its…
It is expected that cosmic rays (CRs) escape from high-redshift galaxies at redshift $z\sim 10 \, - \, 20$ because CRs are accelerated by supernova remnants of the first stars. Although ultraviolet and X-ray photons are widely considered…
Projectile like fragments emerging from heavy ion collision have an excitation energy which is often labeled by a temperature. This temperature was recently calculated using a geometric model. We expand the geometric model to include also…
