"New View of Heliosphere: “Heliosphere with Jets”; Turbulence; Reconnection – lessons learned from Voyager, Cassini, IBEX, TeV Cosmic Rays about our home in the galaxy"

Abstract:  In this talk, I will discuss what did we recently learned from the in-situ measurements from Voyager spacecrafts as well as the remote sensing of energetic neutral atoms from CASSINI, IBEX and the anisotropy of TeV cosmic rays about the heliosphere. The heliosphere is the only local example of astrosphere that can be probed in such details. The very shape of the heliosphere is being...

"Characterizing the population of pulsars in the Galactic bulge with the Fermi Large Area Telescope"
 

ABSTRACT: Several groups have demonstrated the existence of an excess in the gamma-ray emission around the Galactic Center (GC) with respect to the predictions from a variety of Galactic Interstellar Emission Models (GIEMs) and point source catalogs. The origin of this excess, peaked at a few GeV, is still under debate. A possible interpretation is that it comes from a population of unresolved Millisecond Pulsars (MSPs) in the Galactic bulge. We investigate the...
