    Searching for SNIa Companions in Galactic SNe: the case of SN 1006
    Type-Ia supernovae (SNIa) are believed to be thermonuclear explosions of accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs that reach the Chandrasekhar mass limit of about 1...

    Self-sustaining galactic winds in spiral galaxies with starburst nuclei
    In the circumnuclear zones of the disks of some spirals there is an absence of neutral interstellar hydrogen. A model is devised in which gaseous outflow is...
