GRB Synchrotron-Self-Compton Emission Generated by Self-Consistent Electron Distribution
The spectra of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) emission have been investigated theoretically by a number of authors (e.g., [1-3]) for different versions of a... -
New Results on the Temporal Structure of GRBs
We analyze the temporal structure of long ( T 90 > 2sec) and short ( T... -
Ultra Efficient Internal Shocks
We define ultra efficient internal shocks as those in which the fraction of emitted energy is larger than the fraction of energy given to the... -
The INTEGRAL Burst Alert System
We describe the INTEGRAL Burst Alert System (IBAS): the automatic software developed at the INTEGRAL Science Data Center to allow the rapid... -
Beyond the Standard Model
Some possible directions for physics beyond the Standard Model are reviewed, with particular emphasis on topics relevant to astrophysics and... -
Cosmic Microwave Background Fluctuations
Several experiments have recently detected very low contrast, sub-horizon scale structures in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). In the current... -
Evidence for an Accelerating Universe from Type Ia Supernovae
The expansion history of the universe is revealed by measurements of cosmic distances. Since the various energy components in a Friedmann universe... -
Constraining Cosmological Parameters with Observations of Galaxy Clusters
Galaxy clusters are ideal probes of the large-scale structure of the Universe and for the tests of cosmological models. Based on the REFLEX redshift... -
The NASA - MIDEX Swift Mission
The Gamma Ray Bursts as powerful extragalactic sources are one of the major discovery which occurred in the last decade thanks to the BATSE satellite... -
Fundamental Physics with Space Experiments
I review a category of experiments in fundamental physics that need space as a laboratory. All these experiments have in common the need of a very... -
Connections Between Quantum Theory and Cosmology: An Unconventional View
Usually cosmology is seen as a special part of general relativity. Quantum theory is normally understood as responsible for the small and the very... -
A New Unifying Field Spacetime Structure
Analysis of the data and equations for the solar system and the hydrogen atom identified a unifying spacetime structure intrinsic to the fields. The... -
High Energy Photon Flux Prediction from Neutralino Annihilation in M 31
Considering a NFW halo of M 31 made of neutralinos, predictions for the... -
Cosmic Shear from STIS Pure Parallels - II. Analysis
The tidal gravitational field due to the inhomogeneous distribution of matter in the Universe causes the distortion of light bundles from distant... -
APPLES: A Parallel Slitless Imaging Survey for ACS
We present APPLES, the ACS Pure Parallel Ly $\alpha$ Emission... -
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis of Lithium-7 and the Baryon Density of the Universe
Thanks to recent nuclear physic compilations, we update Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (SBBN) calculations. By a Monte-Carlo technique, we... -
Problems of Cosmological Darwinian Selection and the Origin of Habitable Universes
For the cosmologist and physicist Lee Smolin, our universe is only one in a much larger cosmos (the Multiverse), a member of a growing community of... -
Thermonuclear Supernovae: Is Deflagration Triggered by Floating Bubbles?
In recent years, it has become clear from multidimensional simulations that the outcome of deflagrations depends strongly on the initial... -
Gamma-Ray Bursts and Jet-Powered Supernovae
The last five years have seen growing challenges to the traditional paradigm of a core collapse supernova powered by the neutrino emission of a young... -
Variety in Supernovae
Detailed observations of a growing number of supernovae have determined a bloom of new peculiar events. In this paper we take a short tour through...
