Astronomical site selection: On the use of satellite data for aerosol content monitoring
A. M. Varela, C. Bertolin, C. Muñoz-Tuñón +2
The main goal of this work is the analysis of new approaches to the study of the properties of astronomical sites. In particular, satellite data measuring aerosols have recently be…
Gravitational Waves detection and spectroscopy with a Double-slit Quantum Eraser
Clovis Jacinto de Matos, Fabrizio Tamburini, Josep Maria Perdigues Armengol +1
We propose the use of heralded photons to detect Gravitational Waves (GWs). Heralded photons are those photons that, produced during a parametric downconversion process, are "label…
The symbiotic star CH Cygni. II. The broad Ly alpha emission line explained by shocks
M. Contini, R. Angeloni, P. Rafanelli
Context. In 1985, at the end of the active phase 1977-1986, a broad (4000 km/s) Ly alpha line appeared in the symbiotic system CH Cygni that had never been observed previously. Aim…
X-ray spectra from magnetar candidates. I. Monte Carlo simulations in the non-relativistic regime
L. Nobili, R. Turolla, S. Zane
The anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma-repeaters are peculiar high-energy sources believed to host a magnetar, i.e. an ultra-magnetized neutron star. Their persistent, soft X-r…
