Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process whereby
two merging flows with oppositely oriented magnetic fields drive
the reconfiguration of the field topology inside a current sheet,
which rapidly converts magnetic into kinetic energy...
Abstract: Complementing the spectacular
breakthroughs in gravitational wave and multi-messenger
observations of merging black holes and neutron stars, advancements
in our theoretical understanding and modelling of strong gravity
are essential to...
Star formation in galaxies are governed by the complex interplay
of several nonlinear physical mechanisms operating in the
interstellar medium (ISM). However, in spite of the underlying
complexity, there is overwhelming evidence for fundamental...
Star-shredding supermassive black holes (Tidal Disruption
Events, TDEs) are potential emitters of high energy hadrons and
neutrinos. Several TDEs have been observed as coincident with
neutrino events detected at the IceCube neutrino observatory.
I...
The DAMIC-M experiment will exploit the sub-electron resolution
capabilities of skipper charge-coupled devices (CCDs) to search for
light dark matter particles in a broad range of masses from 1 eV to
10 GeV. A prototype DAMIC-M detector has been...
