On (Not)-Constraining Heavy Asymmetric Bosonic Dark Matter

Chris Kouvaris, Peter Tinyakov

Recently, constraints on bosonic asymmetric dark matter have been imposed based on the existence of old neutron stars excluding the dark matter masses in the range from ke…

Search for dark matter annihilations in the Sun with the 79-string IceCube detector

IceCube collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, R. Abbasi +274

We have performed a search for muon neutrinos from dark matter annihilation in the center of the Sun with the 79-string configuration of the IceCube neutrino telescope. For the fir…

Search for Galactic PeV Gamma Rays with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

IceCube collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, R. Abbasi +274

Gamma-ray induced air showers are notable for their lack of muons, compared to hadronic showers. Hence, air shower arrays with large underground muon detectors can select a sample…

Crustal Entrainment and Pulsar Glitches

N. Chamel

Large pulsar frequency glitches are generally interpreted as sudden transfers of angular momentum between the neutron superfluid permeating the inner crust and the rest of the star…

Properties of the outer crust of strongly magnetized neutron stars from Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov atomic mass models

N. Chamel, R. L. Pavlov, L. M. Mihailov +6

The equilibrium properties of the outer crust of cold nonaccreting magnetars (i.e. neutron stars endowed with very strong magnetic fields) are studied using the latest experimental…

Observation of Cosmic Ray Anisotropy with the IceTop Air Shower Array

IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, R. Abbasi +273

We report on the observation of anisotropy in the arrival direction distribution of cosmic rays at PeV energies. The analysis is based on data taken between 2009 and 2012 with the…

Low-energy collective excitations in the neutron star inner crust

N. Chamel, D. Page, S. Reddy

We study the low-energy collective excitations of the neutron star inner crust, where a neutron superfluid coexists with a Coulomb lattice of nuclei. The dispersion relation of the…

Searches for high-energy neutrino emission in the Galaxy with the combined IceCube-AMANDA detector

IceCube collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +268

We report on searches for neutrino sources at energies above 200 GeV in the Northern sky of the galactic plane, using the data collected by the South Pole neutrino telescopes IceCu…

Search for Relativistic Magnetic Monopoles with IceCube

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +268

We present the first results in the search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the IceCube detector, a subsurface neutrino telescope located in the South Polar ice cap contain…

Lateral Distribution of Muons in IceCube Cosmic Ray Events

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +277

In cosmic ray air showers, the muon lateral separation from the center of the shower is a measure of the transverse momentum that the muon parent acquired in the cosmic ray interac…

Cosmic Ray Composition and Energy Spectrum from 1-30 PeV Using the 40-String Configuration of IceTop and IceCube

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +271

The mass composition of high energy cosmic rays depends on their production, acceleration, and propagation. The study of cosmic ray composition can therefore reveal hints of the or…

Search for Anisotropy of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays with the Telescope Array Experiment

T. Abu-Zayyad, R. Aida, M. Allen +139

We study the anisotropy of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) events collected by the Telescope Array (TA) detector in the first 40 months of operation. Following earlier studies…

An Absence of Neutrinos Associated with Cosmic Ray Acceleration in Gamma-Ray Bursts

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +259

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) have been proposed as a leading candidate for acceleration of ultra high-energy cosmic rays, which would be accompanied by emission of TeV neutrinos produce…

A Search for UHE Tau Neutrinos with IceCube

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +252

The first dedicated search for ultra-high energy (UHE) tau neutrinos of astrophysical origin was performed using the IceCube detector in its 22-string configuration with an instrum…
