Constraining the Galactic center dark cluster with ELT/MICADO observations

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
The Galactic Center hosts the densest known stellar environment in the Milky Way, dominated by the massive black hole Sgr A* and the surrounding nuclear star cluster.

Dark matter annihilation at the galactic center [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
journal articleCold dark matter near the galactic center is accreted by the central black hole into a dense spike. Particle dark matter annihilation makes the spike a compact source of photons, electrons, positrons, protons, antiprotons, and neutrinos ...

The interstellar magnetic field near the Galactic center

open access: yes, 2010
We review the observational knowledge that has built up over the past 25 years on the interstellar magnetic field within ~ 150 pc of the Galactic center.

Light‐Controlled Localized Delamination and Blistering of Azobenzene‐Containing Polymer Thin Films in an Aqueous Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
When exposed to light of a defined wavelength, the photoisomerization of azobenzene chromophores leads to polymer reorientation, generating stresses that result in solvent‐facilitated localized delamination of the film from the substrate. Additionally, blisters that form spontaneously when exposed to an aqueous environment can be manipulated via ...

Gamma-ray and neutrino fluxes from Heavy Dark Matter in the Galactic Center [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present a study of the Galactic Center region as a possible source of both secondary gamma-ray and neutrino fluxes from annihilating dark matter. We have studied the gamma-ray flux observed by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) from the J1745 ...

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

Hierarchically Wrinkled Silver Ink as a Platform for Fully Integrated Stretchable Electronic Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Silver Hierarchical Responsive ink (SHRink), a universal approach for the fabrication of highly stretchable interconnects, wirings, and skin‐interfaced electrodes, is realized through low‐cost, scalable spray‐printing and transfer‐printing. The SHRink demonstrates high electrical conductivity (1.2E04 S cm−1) and large stretchability (235% max fracture ...

Ices in the Galactic Center?

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2012
We present for the first time, an infrared data-cube of the central parsec of our Galaxy in the 2.8 to 4.2 micron range. This spectral band (the L-band) harbors important signatures of the interstellar and circumstellar medium, since the water ice absorption feature at 3 micron traces the dense medium and the hydrocarbon absorption at 3.4 micron is ...

Kinematics in the Galactic Center with SiO masers

open access: yes
Stellar SiO masers are found in the atmospheres of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with several maser transitions observed around 43 and 86 GHz. At least 28 SiO maser stars have been detected within ?2 pc projected distance from Sgr A* by the Very ...

Dielectric Permittivity Tensor of Muscovite for Next Generation All Van Der Waals Broadband Photonic Components

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐index and low‐loss vdW muscovite represents an emerging robust dielectric platform for the creation of next‐generation all‐vdW nanophotonic architectures. Its utilization as a low‐index building‐block in all‐vdW multilayers enables extreme optical contrast when paired with MoS2, paving the way to the realization of few‐layer ultrathin DBS ...
