    Outflows from starburst galaxies with various driving mechanisms and their X-ray properties
    Outflows in starburst galaxies driven by thermal-mechanical energy, cosmic rays, and their mix are investigated with 1D and 2D hydrodynamic simulations. We show...

    Photometric study of the improved GRB 970815 error box
    An improved error box of GRB 970815 has been reported very recently (Smith et al.1999). This error box is consistent with the decaying X-ray source detected by...

    Possible satellite perspective effects on the reported correlations between solar activity and clouds
    Recently some correlations between low cloud cover and solar activity have been reported in the literature. In this paper we show how the flux of GCR is found...

    Precision Measurement of the (e++e-) Flux in Primary Cosmic Rays from 0.5 GeV to 1 TeV with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station
    We present a measurement of the cosmic ray (e++e-) flux in the range 0.5 GeV to 1 TeV based on the analysis of 10.6 million (e++e-) events collected by AMS. The...

    Precision Measurement of the Helium Flux in Primary Cosmic Rays of Rigidities 1.9 GV to 3 TV with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station
    Knowledge of the precise rigidity dependence of the helium flux is important in understanding the origin, acceleration, and propagation of cosmic rays. A...
