"Time Domain Astrophysics: Planets, Anomalies, Space" Abstract: In this overview, I will present some of the recent results from the Japan/New Zealand Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) collaboration, including the evidence for the...

Search for Intergalactic Magnetic Fields and Implications Abstract: The ongoing search for intergalactic magnetic fields using blazar observations suggests field strength in the 10^(-14) to 10^{-17} G range on tens of Mpc length scales. Such fields can...

Taking the Measure of Neutron Stars Neutron stars are laboratories for understanding physics under extreme conditions, including the nature of the nucleon-nucleon interaction and the equation of state of dense matter and the location of the quark-hadron...

"Superdiffusion and Streaming of Cosmic rays" The propagation of cosmic rays (CRs) is usually described as a diffusion process. This is frequently not right, however. The propagation of the CRs perpendicular to the magnetic field is governed by the...
