Aims: It is well known that the presence of baryons affects the dark matter host haloes. Exploring the galaxy assembly history together with the dark matter...
Dark matter searches with Cherenkov telescopes: nearby dwarf galaxies or local galaxy clusters?
In this paper, we compare dwarf galaxies and galaxy clusters in order to elucidate which object class is the best target for gamma-ray DM searches with imaging...
Dark Matter, Magnetic Fields, and the Rotation Curve of the Milky Way
The study of the disk rotation curve of our Galaxy at large distances provides an interesting scenario for us to test whether magnetic fields should be...
Data analysis of the cosmic background radiation anisotropy experiments
We present a procedure for associating statistical significances with the results of the likelihood analysis of the experiment of Davies et al. (1987) for the...
DDO 187: Do Dwarf Galaxies Have Extended, Old Halos?
If dwarf galaxies are primeval objects in the universe, as hierarchical galaxy formation scenarios predict, they should show traces of their old stellar...
DDO 44 and UGC 4998: Distances, Metallicities, and Star Formation Histories
We have obtained deep HST imaging of two candidate dwarf systems in the nearby M81 Group, DDO 44 and UGC 4998. Both are isolated, low surface brightness systems...
We analyze two regions of the quiet Sun (35.6 × 35.6 Mm2) observed at high spatial resolution (lsim100 km) in polarized light by the IMaX spectropolarimeter on...
Debris Disks Can Contaminate Mid-infrared Exoplanet Spectra: Evidence for a Circumstellar Debris Disk around Exoplanet Host WASP-39
The signal from a transiting planet can be diluted by astrophysical contamination. In the case of circumstellar debris disks, this contamination could start in...
Decade time-scale modulation of low-mass X-ray binaries
Regular observations by the All-Sky Monitor aboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite have yielded well-sampled light curves with a time baseline of over...
