Cover Story: The generalized theory of gravitation Scalar-Tensor-Vector-Gravity (STVG) (modified gravity (MOG)) is applied to the Bullet Cluster and Train Wreck Cluster (Abell 520). The collision of galaxy clusters has been a big challenge for modified gravity theories without dark matter. It is demonstrated that STVG can fit the colliding clusters data without dark matter.

Due to thermal pulses, asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars experience periods of convective mixing that provide ideal conditions for slow neutron-capture nucleosynthesis. These processes are affected by large uncertainties and are still not fully und...

We created a catalog of photometric redshift of ∼3,000,000 SDSS galaxies annotated by their broad morphology. The photometric redshift was optimized by testing and comparing several pattern recognition algorithms and variable selection strategies, an...

The article aims to overview the origin and current dynamical state of a giant structure on the northern galactic sky—the radio Loop I extending from ≈ − 45 ∘ to ≈ + 45 ∘ in longitudes and up to ≈ 80 ∘ in latitudes over the Gala...

The non-empty space approach to Maxwell’s equations reveals the analytical solution with the continuous radial density of the extended astroparticle. The principle of equivalence works universally for active/passive masses and for active/passiv...

Relativistic Motion of Stars near Rotating Black Holes

  • Elizabeth P. Tito and
  • Vadim I. Pavlov

Formulation of the Lagrangian approach is presented for studying features of motions of stellar bodies with non-zero rest mass in the vicinity of fast-spinning black holes. The structure of Lagrangian is discussed. The general method is applied to de...

I review some aspects related to the influence of planets on the evolution of stars before and beyond the main sequence. Some processes include the tidal destruction of a planet on to a very young main sequence star, on to a low-mass main sequence st...

Probing Black Hole Magnetic Fields with QED

  • Ilaria Caiazzo and
  • Jeremy Heyl

The effect of vacuum birefringence is one of the first predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED): the presence of a charged Dirac field makes the vacuum birefringent when threaded by magnetic fields. This effect, extremely weak for terrestrial mag...

The large-scale radio/microwave sky has been mapped over a range of frequencies from tens of MHz to tens of GHz, in intensity and polarization. The emission is primarily synchrotron radiation from cosmic ray electrons spiralling in the Galactic magne...
