    The quest for axions
    We introduce the strong CP problem and the existence of the Axion as a possible solution. We discuss the possibility that axions are the dark matter of the...

    The relative role of AGB stars and SNe as the first cosmic dust polluters
    Far infrared and sub-millimeter observations of quasars and normal star forming galaxies at z>6 have revealed the presence of large amounts of dust. At such...

    The SN Ia runaway LP 398-9: detection of circumstellar material and surface rotation
    A promising progenitor scenario for Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) is the thermonuclear detonation of a white dwarf in a close binary system with another white...

    Tycho's Supernova: The View from Gaia
    SN 1572 (Tycho Brahe’s supernova) clearly belongs to the Ia (thermonuclear) type. It was produced by the explosion of a white dwarf (WD) in a binary system. Its...

    Type Ia supernovae with and without blueshifted narrow Na I D lines - how different is their structure?
    In studies on intermediate- and high-resolution spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), some objects exhibit narrow Na I D absorptions often blueshifted with...
