چکیده
Recent research on the buildup of rocks from small dust grains has reaffirmed that grain growth in protoplanetary disks should occur quickly. Calculation of growth rates have been made for a variety of growth processes and generally predict high probabilities of sticking in low-velocity collisions that may be brought about in a number of ways in protoplanetary disks. Laboratory experiments have measured sticking coefficients for some materials largely confirming the calculations. Although the detailed velocity fields of disks are not well understood, many of the important processes leading to particle collisions and grain growth have been studied theoretically and demonstrate likely paths by which dust is assembled into planets. Calculations of the radiative properties of particles with various size distributions show that large particles should produce observable changes in the spectral energy distributions of disks. Changes of the sort predicted are, in fact, observed, but their interpretation is ambiguous; there are other ways to produce the observed changes that do not require grain growth, so the evidence is currently inconclusive. The major uncertainties can be overcome with the next generation of millimeter-wave interferometers, and it seems likely that a firm case for grain growth could be established within a decade.

In this review, we intend to present the current knowledge of the polarized emission from thermal dust in our Galaxy. We show different methods to estimate the spatial distribution statistics of this emission in the lack of any data from the diffuse ISM, and compare it to the expected CMB polarized signal. We finally show how this contaminant could be efficiently removed from CMB maps using mul...

The properties of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation angular autocorrelation function in Friedman Universe with negative curvature (k = −1) are studied. The dependence of the spectral index of autocorrelation function on the density parameter of the Universe is studied numerically, taking into account the effect of geodesic mixing, occuring in k = −1 curvature Universes.

We discuss recent models in which neutrinos, which are assumed to have mass in the eV range, originate the highest energy cosmic rays by interaction with the enhanced density in the galactic halo of the relic cosmic neutrino background. We make an analytical calculation of the required neutrino fluxes

We report 60 and 90 µm observations of 7 millisecond pulsars with the ISOPHOT instrument and describe our analysis procedures. No pulsars were detected, and typical (3σ) upper limits are 150 mJy. We combine our results with others in the literature and use them to place constraints on the existence of protoplanetary or dust disks around millisecond pulsars.
