Testing Noncommutativity-Like Model as a Galactic Density Profile
Noncommutative-like model (NC-like) is an interesting alternative inspired by string theory to understand and describe the velocity rotation curves of galaxies without the inclusion of dark matter particles.

Visualization in Astrophysics: Developing New Methods, Discovering Our Universe, and Educating the Earth [PDF]
We present a state‐of‐the‐art report on visualization in astrophysics. We survey representative papers from both astrophysics and visualization and provide a taxonomy of existing approaches based on data analysis tasks.

ASTROPHYSICS OF WORMHOLES [PDF]
We consider the hypothesis that some active galactic nuclei and other compact astrophysical objects may be current or former entrances to wormholes (WHs). A broad mass spectrum for astrophysical WHs is possible. We consider various new models of the static WHs including WHs maintained mainly by an electromagnetic field.

AutoCal: A software application for calibrating photometric data
We present a software application for the calibration of stellar magnitudes in the absence of standard stars. It uses an existing algorithm to match stars in the target’s field of view to catalogue entries and computes the average offset between the two ...

Towards the first plasma-electron screening experiment
The enhancement of fusion reaction rates in a thermonuclear plasma by electron screening of the Coulomb barrier is an important plasma-nuclear effect that is present in stellar models but has not been experimentally observed.
