Early chemical enrichment of the Milky Way dwarf satellites from high-resolution and NLTE analysis of VMP stars

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

We present the NLTE abundances of 10 chemical species in 65 very metal-poor stars in eight dSphs and the Milky Way halo. The classical dSphs Sculptor, Ursa Minor, Sextans, and Fornax reveal a similar plateau at [alpha/Fe] = 0.3 for each of Mg, Ca, and Ti, ...

Wideband Cavity-Backed CubeSat Antenna in S band

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

The Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) antennas are a crucial component of small satellites, as their in-orbit attitude is not always well-defined. The TT&C antenna design for a CubeSat is an even more challenging task, considering the volume restricti ...

How to find a dark matter sterile neutrino?

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Igor Tkachev

We propose a strategy for how to look for dark matter particles possessing a radiative decay channel and derive constraints on their parameters from observations of x rays from our own Galaxy and its dwarf satellites. When applied to sterile neutrinos in t ...
