Abstract  Supernova remnants are beautiful astronomical objects that are also of high scientific interest, because they provide insights
into supernova explosion mechanisms, and because they are the likely sources of Galactic cosmic rays. [...]

Abstract  Clusters of galaxies are the most recently assembled, massive, bound structures in the Universe. As predicted by General Relativity,
given their masses, clusters strongly deform space-time in their vicinity. Clusters act as some [...]

Abstract  The knowledge of the physical and dynamical properties, distribution, formation, and evolution of small bodies is fundamental
to understand how planet formation occurred and, even more importantly, if and how these objects have [...]

Abstract  The Hipparcos satellite was launched in 1989. It was the first, and remains to date the only, attempt at performing large-scale
astrometric measurements from space. Hipparcos marked a fundamentally new approach to the field of [...]

Abstract  The large amounts of dust detected in sub-millimeter galaxies and quasars at high redshift pose a challenge to galaxy formation
models and theories of cosmic dust formation. At z>6 only stars of relatively high mass [...]

Abstract  From as early as the 1930s, astronomers have tried to quantify the statistical nature of the evolution and large-scale structure
of galaxies by studying their luminosity distribution as a function of redshift—known as the galaxy [...]

Abstract  The origin of the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, is still an open issue: either they are asteroids captured by Mars or
they formed in situ from a circum-Mars debris disk. The capture scenario mainly relies on the remote-sensing [...]

Abstract  In this concise review of the recent developments in relativistic shock theory in the Universe we restrict ourselves to shocks
that do not exhibit quantum effects. On the other hand, emphasis is given to the formation of shocks [...]

Abstract  Coronal plumes, which extend from solar coronal holes (CH) into the high corona and—possibly—into the solar wind (SW), can
now continuously be studied with modern telescopes and spectrometers on spacecraft, in addition to [...]
