The radioactive isotope is believed to be mainly produced by massive stars and ejected into the interstellar medium through their winds and supernovae. Due to its lifetime of 1.04,Myr, it traces recent nucleosynthesis and star formation. The isotope Al 26 Fe 60 is similarly long-lived, with a lifetime of 3.8,Myr, and o...

The Cosmic $\gamma$-ray Background (CGB) in the MeV regime remains among the least understood components of diffuse cosmic radiation, primarily due to instrumental limitations in detecting faint isotropic emission at MeV energies. We present an indirect method for probing isotropic emission from soft X-rays to $\gamma$...

Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) are thought to originate from shock acceleration in supernova remnants, but interstellar ionization rates suggest an additional low-energy cosmic-ray (LECR) component. LECRs excite nuclei in the ISM, producing MeV gamma-ray line emission through subsequent de-excitation. Observations of this...

Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) are commonly thought to originate from shock acceleration in supernova remnants. Observations of ionization rates in the interstellar medium (ISM) have indicated an excess of low-energy CRs (LECRs) beyond that expected from standard propagation models. The LECRs excite nuclei in the ISM, pro...

X-ray binaries are excellent laboratories to study the coupling between accretion and ejection phenomena around compact objects through multiwavelength observations. Swift J1753.5--0127 is a black hole low-mass X-ray binary discovered in outburst in 2005 that remained active for 11 years, followed by two mini-outbursts...
