Castor A and Castor B resolved in a simultaneous Chandra and XMM-Newton observation [PDF]
We present a simultaneous Chandra and XMM-Newton observation of the Castor sextett, focusing on Castor A and Castor B, two spectroscopic binaries with early-type primaries.

Measurements of very-forward energy with the CASTOR calorimeter of CMS [PDF]
The very-forward energy production in hadron collisions is of paramount importance for the understanding of ultra-high energy cosmic ray air showers. The CASTOR calorimeter of CMS is located at $-6.6 < \eta < -5.2$ in the phase-space where the peak of ...

Details of the spatial structure and kinematics of the Castor and Ursa Major streams [PDF]
A list of the Castor stream members is compiled based on the data from various authors. The membership probabilities for some stars are revised based on the individual apex, multiplicity, observational errors, and peculiarity.

Reaching the boundary between stellar kinematic groups and very wide binaries. II. alpha Lib + KU Lib: a common proper motion system in Castor separated by 1.0 pc [PDF]
Aims: I investigate the gravitational binding of a nearby common proper motion system in the young Castor moving group (tau ~ 200 Ma), formed by the bright quadruple star alpha Lib (Zubenelgenubi) and the young solar analog KU Lib.

The CASTOR calorimeter at the CMS experiment [PDF]
The CASTOR Calorimeter at the CMS experiment is an electromagnetic/hadronic calorimeter which covers the very forward region of the detector (-6.6 < eta < -5.2).

One Dimensional Dynamical Models of the Carina Nebula Bubble [PDF]
We have tested the two main theoretical models of bubbles around massive star clusters, Castor et al. and Chevalier & Clegg, against observations of the well studied Carina Nebula. The Castor et al. theory over-predicts the X-ray luminosity in the Carina

Formation of Centauro and Strangelets in Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions at the LHC and their Identification by the ALICE Experiment [PDF]
We present a phenomenological model which describes the formation of a Centauro fireball in nucleus-nucleus interactions in the upper atmosphere and at the LHC, and its decay to non-strange baryons and Strangelets. We describe the CASTOR detector for the

CASTOR: Centauro and Strange Object Research in nucleus-nucleus collisions at LHC [PDF]
We describe the CASTOR detector designed to probe the very forward, baryon-rich rapidity region in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC. We present a phenomenological model describing the formation of a QGP fireball in a high baryochemical potential ...

CASTOR status and evolution [PDF]
In January 1999, CERN began to develop CASTOR ("CERN Advanced STORage manager"). This Hierarchical Storage Manager targetted at HEP applications has been in full production at CERN since May 2001. It now contains more than two Petabyte of data in roughly

Forward Physics Capabilities of CMS with the CASTOR and ZDC detectors [PDF]
The two calorimeters CASTOR and ZDCs enhance the hermeticity of the CMS detector at the LHC by extending the rapidity coverage in the forward region. After having described these detectors, their forward physics capabilities are presented.
