Does Cold-Flow Accretion Drive Star-Formation in the Local Universe?
Numerical simulations of galaxy formation predict direct gas accretion from the cosmic web to be the main mode of disk galaxy formation. However, observational...
Equipartition of energy between relativistic particles and magnetic field is known to be consistent with observations in most of the large size (hundreds of kpc...
It was recently proposed that the Galactic binary system LB-1 hosts an ~8+70 solar mass B-star+black hole (BH) wide binary that is X-ray quiet, strongly...
Dome C as a setting for the Permanent All Sky Survey (PASS)
The Permanent All Sky Survey (PASS) is a project for a continuous photometric survey of the entire celestial sphere with a high temporal resolution. Its major...
Doppler tomography of the X-ray nova XTE J1118+480 in outburst and near quiescence
We present Doppler images of the more intense emission lines in the spectrum of the Black Hole X-ray Nova XTE J1118+480 during the 2000 outburst and near...
