Power Asymmetry in Cosmic Microwave Background Fluctuations from Full Sky to Sub-degree Scales: Is the Universe Isotropic?

F. K. Hansen, A. J. Banday, K. M. Gorski +2

We repeat and extend the analysis of Eriksen et al 2004 and Hansen et al 2004 testing the isotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) fluctuations. We find that the hemispher…

Curious Variables Experiment (CURVE). CCD photometry of active dwarf nova DI UMa

A. Rutkowski, A. Olech, M. Wiśniewski +3

We report an analysis of photometric behaviour of DI UMa, an extremely active dwarf nova. The observational campaign (completed in 2007) covers five superoutbursts and four normal…

On The Origin Of The Highest Redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts

Krzysztof Belczynski, Daniel E. Holz, Chris L. Fryer +3

GRB 080913 and GRB 090423 are the most distant gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) known to-date, with spectroscopically determined redshifts of z=6.7 and z=8.1, respectively. The detection of…

Impact of star formation inhomogeneities on merger rates and interpretation of LIGO results

R. O'Shaughnessy, R. Kopparapu, K. Belczynski

Within the next decade, ground based gravitational wave detectors are in principle capable of determining the compact object merger rate per unit volume of the local universe to be…

Modelling the broad-band spectra of X-ray emitting GPS galaxies

L. Ostorero, R. Moderski, L. Stawarz +5

The study of the broad-band emission of GHz-Peaked-Spectrum (GPS) radio galaxies is a powerful tool to investigate the physical processes taking place in the central, kpc-sized reg…

Repeating microlensing events in the OGLE data

J. Skowron, L. Wyrzykowski, S. Mao +1

Microlensing events are usually selected among single-peaked non-repeating light curves in order to avoid confusion with variable stars. However, a microlensing event may exhibit a…
