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…

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…

Evolution of perturbed accelerating relativistic shock waves

G. Palma, A. Mignone, M. Vietri +1

We study the evolution of an accelerating hyperrelativistic shock under the presence of upstream inhomogeneities wrinkling the discontinuity surface. The investigation is conducted…

Three-fluid plasmas in star formation I. Magneto-hydrodynamic equations

Cecilia Pinto, Daniele Galli, Francesca Bacciotti

Interstellar magnetic fields influence all stages of the process of star formation, from the collapse of molecular cloud cores to the formation of protostellar jets. This requires…

Advanced Forward Modeling and Inversion of Stokes Profiles Resulting from the Joint Action of the Hanle and Zeeman Effects

A. Asensio Ramos, J. Trujillo Bueno, E. Landi Degl'Innocenti

A big challenge in solar and stellar physics in the coming years will be to decipher the magnetism of the solar outer atmosphere (chromosphere and corona) along with its dynamic co…

Non-thermal emission from relativistic MHD simulations of PWNe: from synchrotron to inverse Compton

D. Volpi, L. Del Zanna, E. Amato +1

In this paper we complete the set of diagnostic tools for synchrotron emitting sources presented by Del Zanna et al. (Astron. Astrophys. 453, 621, 2006) with the computation of inv…
