The Gamma-Ray Pulsar Phenomenology in View of 3D Kinetic Global Magnetosphere Models

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We develop kinetic plasma models of pulsar magnetospheres with magnetic-field-line-dependent plasma injection that reveal the importance of various magnetosphere regions in regulating the γ -ray emission. We set different particle injection rates for the

Spitzer IRS Observations of Titan as a Precursor to JWST MIRI Observations

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
In this work, we present for the first time infrared spectra of Titan from the Spitzer Space Telescope (2004–2009). The data are from both the short wavelength–low resolution (SL; 5.13–14.29 μ m, R ∼ 60–127) and short wavelength–high resolution (SH; 9.89–

Dark-photon search using data from CRESST-II Phase 2

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
Identifying the nature and origin of dark matter is one of the major challenges for modern astro and particle physics. Direct dark-matter searches aim at an observation of dark-matter particles interacting within detectors.

Investigating the Superorbital Modulations in 4U 1909 + 07, IGR J16418-4532, and IGR J16479-4514 with Swift XRT, BAT, and NuSTAR Observations

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A puzzling variety of superorbital modulations has been discovered in several supergiant high mass X-ray binaries (sgHMXBs). To investigate the mechanisms driving these superorbital modulations, we have analyzed long-term Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory ...

Status of the CRESST-II Experiment for Direct Dark Matter Search

, 2015
The CRESST-II (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) experiment aims for the direct detection of dark matter in form of WIMPs. Scintillating CaWO$_4$ single crystals are used as target material.

First results from CRESST-II Phase 2

, 2014
The CRESST-II (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) experiment, currently in its second phase, aims at the direct detection of WIMPs. Compared to previous runs the intrinsic radiopurity of CaWO$_4$ crystals and the capability to

A Sub-GeV Low Mass Hidden Dark Sector of SU(2) H × U(1) X

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We present a detailed study of the non-abelian vector dark matter candidate W t with a MeV–GeV low mass range, accompanied by a dark photon A′ and a dark Z′ of similar masses, in the context of a gauged two-Higgs-doublet model with the hidden gauge group

Description of CRESST-II data

, 2017
In Phase 2 of CRESST-II 18 detector modules were operated for about two years (July 2013 - August 2015). Together with this document we are publishing data from two detector modules which have been used for direct dark-matter searches. With these data-sets we were able to set world-leading limits on the cross section for spin-independent elastic ...

Simulation of the CRESST Experiment and search for Dark Matter [PDF]

, 2018
One of the biggest unknowns of our Universe is the nature of dark matter. The existence of dark matter was proven by many astrophysical and cosmological observations and it is known that it constitutes 27 % of the energy budget of our Universe.

Improving Formative Assessment Practice with Educational Information Technology [PDF]

Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2006
This paper describes a web-based assessment design tool, the ADDS, that provides teachers both a structure and the resources required to develop and use quality assessments. The tool is applicable across subject domains.
