Microquasars as heating sources of the intergalactic medium during reionization of the Universe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The effect of the primeval sources of radiation and particles on the thermodynamical state of the intergalactic medium during the epoch of reionization is still unclear.

Intergalactic medium metal enrichment through dust sputtering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We study the motion of dust grains into the intergalactic medium (IGM) around redshift z = 3, to test the hypothesis that grains can efficiently pollute the gas with metals through sputtering.

Memoirs of a Spacewoman: Naomi Mitchison’s intergalactic education [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In Memoirs of a Spacewoman (1962), a novel in which a space-traveling communications specialist describes her early training and career progression, Naomi Mitchison reimagines the memoir and Bildungs roman forms to depict an individual who develops not ...

Implications of a search for intergalactic civilizations on prior estimates of human survival and travel speed

open access: yes, 2021
We present a model where some proportion of extraterrestrial civilizations expand uniformly over time to reach a cosmological scale. We then ask what humanity could infer if a sky survey were to find zero, one, or more such civilizations. We show how the results of this survey, in combination with an approach to anthropics called the Self Indication ...

Long Walks, Infinite Long Walks, Revitalization of Cells, Consciousness & a Potential Device for Intergalactic Space Travel

open access: yes, 2022
In extension to author’s previous work which was embedded in two poems included inside the book “Scientific Poetry” published by “notionpress” Chennai, India. The author extrapolates a theory of human revitalization through long walks and in extension, infinite loops of walks, which was the story of myths by let’s say Swami Prahlad’s long walks without

Quantifying AGN-driven metal-enhanced outflows in chemodynamical simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We show the effects of AGN-driven outflows on the ejection of heavy elements using our cosmological simulations, where super-massive black holes originate from the first stars.

MAGNETIZED JETS DRIVEN BY THE SUN: THE STRUCTURE OF THE HELIOSPHERE REVISITED [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The classic accepted view of the heliosphere is a quiescent, comet-like shape aligned in the direction of the Sun’s travel through the interstellar medium (ISM) extending for thousands of astronomical units (AUs).

Neutrino Oscillations and Decoherence in Short-GRB Progenitors [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
Neutrinos are produced in cosmic accelerators, like active galactic nuclei, blazars, supernova remnants and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). On their way to the Earth they experience flavor oscillations.

How Far Do Cosmic Rays Travel [PDF]

open access: yes, 1933
Two entirely different suggestions have been advanced in the literature as to where the cosmic rays originate. The first suggestion is that cosmic rays are of local origin (upper earth atmosphere, our own planetary system, etc.).

Power and the Aerial Sublime in Victor Pelevin

open access: yesThe Russian Review, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 582-598, October 2023., 2023
Abstract This essay distinguishes flight as a salient trope throughout multiple Pelevin texts: Omon Ra (1992), Chapaev and the Void (1996), Generation P (1999), Empire V (2006), and Love for Three Zuckerbrins (2014). It examines flight through the aesthetics of the sublime—classical, (post)‐Soviet, and postmodern.
