Fermi LAT Observations of the Vela Pulsar

A. A. Abdo

The Vela pulsar is the brightest persistent source in the GeV sky and thus is the traditional first target for new gamma-ray observatories. We report here on initial Fermi Large Ar…

Reconciling MOND and dark matter?

Jean-Philippe Bruneton, Stefano Liberati, Lorenzo Sindoni +1

Observations of galaxies suggest a one-to-one analytic relation between the inferred gravity of dark matter at any radius and the enclosed baryonic mass, a relation summarized by M…

The Effective Theory of Quintessence: the w<-1 Side Unveiled

Paolo Creminelli, Guido D'Amico, Jorge Noreña +1

We study generic single-field dark energy models, by a parametrization of the most general theory of their perturbations around a given background, including higher derivative term…

Observation of an anomalous positron abundance in the cosmic radiation

O. Adriani, G. C. Barbarino, G. A. Bazilevskaya +48

Positrons are known to be produced in interactions between cosmic-ray nuclei and interstellar matter ("secondary production"). Positrons may, however, also be created by dark matte…

AGILE detection of intense gamma-ray emission from the blazar PKS 1510-089

G. Pucella, V. Vittorini, F. D'Ammando +59

We report the detection by the AGILE (Astro-rivelatore Gamma a Immagini LEggero) satellite of an intense gamma-ray flare from the source AGL J1511-0909, associated with the powerfu…

A new measurement of the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio up to 100 GeV in the cosmic radiation

O. Adriani, G. C. Barbarino, G. A. Bazilevskaya +50

A new measurement of the cosmic ray antiproton-to-proton flux ratio between 1 and 100 GeV is presented. The results were obtained with the PAMELA experiment, which was launched int…
