The Role of Massive Agb Stars in the Early Solar System Composition

Josep M. Trigo-Rodriguez, Domingo Anibal Garcia-Hernandez, Maria Lugaro +4

We demonstrate that a massive asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star is a good candidate as the main source of short-lived radionuclides in the early solar system. Recent identificatio…

Optimal filter systems for photometric redshift estimation

N. Benitez, M. Moles, J. A. L. Aguerri +18

In the next years, several cosmological surveys will rely on imaging data to estimate the redshift of galaxies, using traditional filter systems with 4-5 optical broad bands; narro…

Axions and the white dwarf luminosity function

J. Isern, S. Catalan, E. Garcia-Berro +1

The evolution of white dwarfs can be described as a simple cooling process. Recently, it has been possible to determine with an unprecedented precision their luminosity function, t…

On the origin of white dwarfs with carbon-dominated atmospheres: the case of H1504+65

L. G. Althaus, A. H. Córsico, S. Torres +1

We explore different evolutionary scenarios to explain the helium deficiency observed in H1504+65, the most massive known PG1159 star. We concentrate mainly on the possibility that…

MAGIC upper limits to the VHE gamma-ray flux of 3C454.3 in high emission state

H. Anderhub, S. Vercellone, I. Donnarumma +2

We report upper limits to the very high energy flux (E>100 GeV) of the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C454.3 (z=0.859) derived by the Cherenkov telescope MAGIC during the high states…

CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Prospects for polarized foreground removal

J. Dunkley, A. Amblard, C. Baccigalupi +28

In this report we discuss the impact of polarized foregrounds on a future CMBPol satellite mission. We review our current knowledge of Galactic polarized emission at microwave freq…
