We have developed a Monte Carlo model to simulate the transport of solar near-relativistic (NR; 30-300 keV) electrons along the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), including adiabatic focusing, pitch-angle ...
Vilardell Sallés, Francesc (Date of defense: 2009-03-09)
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is an excellent distance calibrator in the Cosmological Distance Ladder. We present the first direct distance determination to M31 using eclipsing binaries (EBs). EBs provides ...
