The direct detection of gravitational waves is one of those events long-expected by physicists that are nevertheless a significant occurrence which excites the world scientific community as if something unexpected has happened. ... Many rumors leaked ahead of the conference, and the fact that something (that is, a signal corresponding to gravitational waves) was discovered by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) was discussed on the sidelines. ... arXiv:1602.03868 . ...

USING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ISGRI SURVEY RESULTS AND OTHER CATALOGUES TO AID SOURCE IDENTIFICATION John B. Stephen, A. Malizia and L. Bassani IASF-INAF, Via P. Gobetti 101, 40129 Bologna, ITALY, E-mail: stephen@iasfbo.inaf.it ABSTRACT In order to help in the identification of INTEGRAL/ISGRI sources, we have developed a software package which allows a rapid and detailed cross-correlation to be performed between various source catalogues. ... We show below some preliminary results from this analysis. ...

... Dark matter in normal galaxies . ... I will pay attention to such issues as the constraints on dark matter profile, micro-lensing counts from the galactic bar, rotation and the structure of the bar. One of the central issues of the modeling is the exchange of the angular momentum between the disk and the dark matter. ... Our results indicate that in realistic models the exchange of angular momentum between the bar and the dark matter is much smaller than previously estimated. ...

The results of a search for ultrarapid variability of galactic water maser sources at the wavelength 1.35 cm on a timescale of several minutes to 1 h are reported. A special observational technique was developed. ... Among those, several sources that have shown such variability were found. ... Clear evidence for such a variability type was found in at least two sources: W49N and W33B. Variability of this kind displays itself only in certain states of the water masers. ...

The efficiency of interaction of radiation with a particle and hence its optical properties depend on the particle chemical composition, size, shape, structure, etc. ... Particle size expressed in units of the wavelength of incident radiation, together with chemical composition, most strongly affects the optical properties of a scatterer. ... There are many methods to solve the light-scattering problem for a homogeneous spheroid (our survey of the light-scattering methods see here ). ...
