The angular distributions of fission fragments for the 32S+184W reaction near Coulomb barrier energies were measured. The experimental fission excitation function is obtained. The measured fission cross sections are decomposed into fusion-fission, quasifission and fast fission contributions by the dinuclear system model. The hindrance to complete

Sunspots are the most spectacular manifestation of solar magnetism, yet 99% of the solar surface remains "quiet" at any time of the solar cycle. The quiet sun is not void of magnetic fields, though; they are organized at smaller spatial scales and evolve relatively fast, which makes them difficult to detect. Thus, although extensive quiet Sun

After the recent report of X-ray re-brightening (ATel #2608), RXTE has observed the peculiar neutron star X-ray binary Cir X-1 eleven times during the last two weeks (May 11-25, 2010). We report the detection of nine X-ray bursts in RXTE-PCA data, 25 years after the first -and the only previous- detection of X-ray bursts from this source (Tennant

We investigate the recovery chances of highly spinning waveforms immersed in LIGO S5-like noise by performing a matched filtering with 106 randomly chosen spinning waveforms generated with the LAL package. While the masses of the compact binary are reasonably well recovered (slightly overestimated), the same does not hold true for the spins. We
