The Citation Impact of Digital Preprint Archives for Solar Physics Papers [PDF]
Papers that are posted to a digital preprint archive are typically cited twice as often as papers that are not posted. This has been demonstrated for papers published in a wide variety of journals, and in many different subfields of astronomy.

Dynamical Interactions and the Black Hole Merger Rate of the Universe [PDF]
Binary black holes can form efficiently in dense young stellar clusters, such as the progenitors of globular clusters, via a combination of gravitational segregation and cluster evaporation.

Deep I-band Imaging of z=5.99 Quasar
Deep I-band imaging was carried out to search for the optical counterpart of the X-ray jet candidate near SDSS 1306+0356, reported by Schwartz (2002, astro-ph/0202190).

E-prints and Journal Articles in Astronomy: a Productive Co-existence
Are the e-prints (electronic preprints) from the arXiv repository being used instead of the journal articles? In this paper we show that the e-prints have not undermined the usage of journal papers in the astrophysics community.

Foundations of Black Hole Accretion Disk Theory [PDF]
This review covers the main aspects of black hole accretion disk theory. We begin with the view that one of the main goals of the theory is to better understand the nature of black holes themselves.

Constraining the neutron star equation of state using Pulse Profile Modeling [PDF]
One very promising technique for measuring the dense matter Equation of State exploits hotspots that form on the neutron star surface due to the pulsar mechanism, accretion streams, or during thermonuclear explosions in the neutron star ocean.

Implementation of the trigger algorithm for the NEMO project [PDF]
We describe the implementation of trigger algorithm specifically tailored on the characteristics of the neutrino telescope NEMO. Extensive testing against realistic simulations shows that, by making use of the uncorrelated nature of the noise produced ...

Planetary Collisions: Electromagnetic Signals
We investigate the electromagnetic signals accompanied with planetary collisions and their event rate, and explore the possibility of directly detecting such events.

Primordial Nucleosynthesis with CMB Inputs: Probing the Early Universe and Light Element Astrophysics [PDF]
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) determinations of the baryon-to-photon ratio $\eta \propto \Omega_{\rm baryon} h^2$ will remove the last free parameter from (standard) big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) calculations. This will make BBN a much sharper probe

Statistical analysis of the trigger algorithm for the NEMO project [PDF]
We discuss the performances of a trigger implemented for the planned neutrino telescope NEMO. This trigger seems capable to discriminate between the signal and the strong background introduced by atmospheric muons and by the beta decay of the K-40 nuclei
