X-Ray Detection of Warm Ionized Matter in the Galactic Halo
F. Nicastro, F. Senatore, A. Gupta +5
We report on a systematic investigation of the cold and mildly ionized gaseous baryonic metal components of our Galaxy, through the analysis of high resolution Chandra and XMM-Newt…
Dark Matter searches using gravitational wave bar detectors: quark nuggets and newtorites
M. Bassan, E. Coccia, S. D'Antonio +10
Many experiments have searched for supersymmetric WIMP dark matter, with null results. This may suggest to look for more exotic possibilities, for example compact ultra-dense quark…
Very-high-energy gamma-rays from the Universe's middle age: detection of the z=0.940 blazar PKS 1441+25 with MAGIC
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +246
The flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 1441+25 at a redshift of z = 0.940 is detected between 40 and 250 GeV with a significance of 25.5 σ using the MAGIC telescopes. Together with the…
The Carina Nebula and Gum 31 molecular complex: I. Molecular gas distribution, column densities and dust temperatures

We report high resolution observations of the CO and CO molecular lines in the Carina Nebula and the Gum 31 region obtained with the…
Large-scale latitude distortions of the inner Milky Way Disk from the Herschel/Hi-GAL Survey
Sergio Molinari, Alberto Noriega-Crespo, John Bally +9
We use the Herschel Hi-GAL survey data to study the spatial distribution in Galactic longitude and latitude of the interstellar medium and of dense, star-forming clumps in the inne…
Internal rotation of the red-giant star KIC 4448777 by means of asteroseismic inversion
M . P. Di Mauro, R. Ventura, D. Cardini +13
In this paper we study the dynamics of the stellar interior of the early red-giant star KIC 4448777 by asteroseismic inversion of 14 splittings of the dipole mixed modes obtained f…
X-ray high-resolution spectroscopy reveals feedback in a Seyfert galaxy from an ultra fast wind with complex ionization and velocity structure
Anna Lia Longinotti, Yair Krongold, Matteo Guainazzi +5
Winds outflowing from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) may carry significant amount of mass and energy out to their host galaxies. In this paper we report the detection of a sub-relat…
From forced collapse to H ii region expansion in Mon R2: Envelope density structure and age determination with Herschel
P. Didelon, F. Motte, P. Tremblin +32
The surroundings of HII regions can have a profound influence on their development, morphology, and evolution. This paper explores the effect of the environment on H II regions in…
X-Ray Polarimetry with the Polarization Spectroscopic Telescope Array (PolSTAR)
Henric S. Krawczynski, Daniel Stern, Fiona A. Harrison +49
This paper describes the Polarization Spectroscopic Telescope Array (PolSTAR), a mission proposed to NASA's 2014 Small Explorer (SMEX) announcement of opportunity. PolSTAR measures…
A connection between plasma conditions near black hole event horizons and outflow properties
K. I. I. Koljonen, D. M. Russell, J. A. Fernández Ontiveros +9
Accreting black holes are responsible for producing the fastest, most powerful outflows of matter in the Universe. The formation process of powerful jets close to black holes is po…
The imprint of rapid star formation quenching on the spectral energy distributions of galaxies
L. Ciesla, A. Boselli, D. Elbaz +12
[Abridged] In high density environment, the gas content of galaxies is stripped, leading to a rapid quenching of their star formation activity. This dramatic environmental effect i…
First INTEGRAL observations of V404 Cygni during the 2015 outburst : spectral behavior in the 20 - 650 keV energy range
Jean-Pierre Roques, Elisabeth Jourdain, Angela Bazzano +3
In June 2015, the source V404 Cygni (= GS2023+38) underwent an extraordinary outburst. We present the results obtained during the first revolution dedicated to this target by the I…
X-ray spectral evolution of V404 Cygni in the initial phase of the 2015 outburst
Lorenzo Natalucci, Mariateresa Fiocchi, Angela Bazzano +3
The black hole binary GS 2023+338 exhibited an unprecedently bright outburst on June 2015. Since June 17th, the high energy instruments on board INTEGRAL detected an extremely vari…
High-energy monitoring of Seyfert galaxies: the case of NGC 4593
F. Ursini, P. -O. Petrucci, G. Matt +6
We discuss preliminary results from a joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR monitoring program on the active galactic nucleus NGC 4593, consisting of 5x20 ks observations, spaced by two days…
Probability density functions for the variable solar wind near the solar cycle minimum
Vörös, Z., M. Leitner +5
Unconditional and conditional statistics is used for studying the histograms of magnetic field multi-scale fluctuations in the solar wind near the solar cycle minimum in 2008. The…
Spectral Features of Magnetic Fluctuations at Proton Scales from Fast to Slow Solar Wind
R. Bruno, D. Telloni
This Letter investigates the spectral characteristics of the interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations at proton scales during several time intervals chosen along the speed profil…

A possible link between the power spectrum of interstellar filaments and the origin of the prestellar core mass function
A. Roy, Ph. Andre', D. Arzoumanian +17
Two major features of the prestellar CMF are: 1) a broad peak below 1 Msun, presumably corresponding to a mean gravitational fragmentation scale, and 2) a characteristic power-law…
