Galactic Cirri at High Galactic Latitudes: I. Investigating Scatter in Slopes between Optical and far-Infrared Intensities
Based on the slopes between DESI $g,r$ and IRAS 100 $μm$ intensities, specifically $k_{g}$ and $k_{r}$, we have constructed a substantial sample of Galactic cirri. This sample covers 561.25 deg$^2$ at high Galactic latitudes (|b| $\geq$ 30$^{\circ}$), allowing for a systematic study of the physical parameters of the Galactic cirrus on a large scale, such as $g-r$ color, dust temperature, asymmetry factor and albedo. The ratio of $k_{g}$ and $k_{r}$ is consistent with the diffuse Gala…

Contribution of young massive star clusters to Galactic diffuse $γ$-ray emission
Context: Young massive stellar clusters (YMSCs) have emerged as potential $γ$-ray sources, after the recent association of a dozen YMSCs with extended $γ$-ray emission. The large size of the detected halos, comparable to that of the wind-blown bubble expected around YMSCs, makes the $γ$-ray detection of individual YMSCs rather challenging. As a result, the emission from most of the Galactic YMSCs could be unresolved, thus contributing to the diffuse $γ$-ray radiation observed along the Gala…

"Caroline van der Plas noemt als beste onderbouwing voor haar euroscepsis de EU-regels die de uitstoot van stofzuigers aan banden hebben gelegd #Op1
Die regel leidt tot een besparing van 24 TWh per jaar in 2030. Dat is 8 keer (!) zoveel als de kerncentrale in Borssele produceert"

Caroline van der Plas, stofzuigers & onzin
Caroline van der Plas had voor haar optreden bij Op1 voorbereid waarom de Europese Unie onzin voorschriften maakt. Dat wil ze graag bewijzen, want de Europese Unie eist ook dingen van haar boeren en d...

Galactic center GeV excess and classification of Fermi-LAT sources with machine learning
Excess of gamma rays with a spherical morphology around the Galactic center (GC) observed in the Fermi large area telescope (LAT) data is one of the most intriguing features in the gamma-ray sky. The excess has been interpreted by annihilating dark matter as well as emission from a population of unresolved millisecond pulsars (MSPs). We use a multi-class classification of Fermi-LAT sources with machine learning to study the distribution of MSP-like sources among unassociated Fermi-LAT sources n…

Superbubbles as Galactic PeVatrons: The Potential Role of Rapid Second-Order Fermi Acceleration
The origin of Galactic cosmic rays is still a mystery, in particular the sources and acceleration mechanism for cosmic rays with energies up to or beyond a PeV. Recently LHAASO has and H.E.S.S have shown that two gamma-ray sources associated with superbubbles created by young massive stellar clusters are likely PeVatrons. This has renewed the interest in the cosmic-ray acceleration processes in superbubbles. To study the possibility and conditions under which second-order Fermi acceleration c…

The SKA Galactic Centre Survey -- A White Paper
With its extreme density of stars and stellar remnants, dense young massive clusters, high specific star formation rate, intense radiation field, high magnetic field strength, and properties of the interstellar medium that resemble those in high redshift galaxies and starbursts, the Galactic Centre is the most extreme environment that we can observe in detail. It is also the only nucleus of a galaxy that we can observe with a resolution of just a few milli parsecs. This makes it a crucial targe…
