  • The impact of model realism on interpretations of the Galactic Center Excess

    What is the nature of dark matter and how to search for it underground, on the Earth’s surface and in space? Contributions to answering these questions where discussed by more than 540 physicists from the 28th of August to the 1st of September 2023 in Vienna at the conference “Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics”Continue…

  • The contribution of X-ray binaries to the cosmic ray and neutrino spectra

    The origin of cosmic rays remains a mystery. Through multi-wavelength and multi-messenger studies, we can identify them. Dimitis presented a recent work on the search of Galactic cosmic rays and how black-hole X-ray binaries may contribute to the observed spectrum here on Earth. The presentation was part of the biannual conference of the Hellenic AstronomicalContinue…

  • A very successful week for the AstroCosmo group!

    This week has been very successful for the group! First, on Monday, Joanna successfully defended her thesis “Solving astrophysical mysteries with compact object”. You may call her now Dr. Berteaud! The celebrating spirit kept on Tuesday when Francesca defended her habilitation thesis “The Galactic centre excess; A journey from dark matter to astrophysics”. You mayContinue…

  • Investigating the γ-ray Galactic Center Excess with X-ray and radio data

    The Galactic Center Excess of γ-rays has puzzled scientists for over a decade. One promising avenue of investigation is to explore the radio and X-ray data to look for a population of millisecond pulsars, the putative origin of this excess. Joanna recently presented our research on this topic at the Galactic Center Workshop in Granada.Continue…
