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 ...

Stellar laboratories: new Ge V and Ge VI oscillator strengths and their validation in the hot white dwarf RE 0503–289 [PDF]
Context. State-of-the-art spectral analysis of hot stars by means of non-LTE model-atmosphere techniques has arrived at a high level of sophistication. The analysis of high-resolution and high-S/N spectra, however, is strongly restricted by the lack of ...

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

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

A Modified Gravity and its Consequences for the Solar System, Astrophysics and Cosmology [PDF]
A relativistic modified gravity (MOG) theory leads to a self-consistent, stable gravity theory that can describe the solar system, galaxy and clusters of galaxies data and cosmology.Comment: 16 pages. Latex file. Talk given at the International Workshop "
