••
TL;DR: Numerical simulations have become an indispensable tool for dealing with "tough nut" problems which involve complex dynamic and non-linear phenomena as mentioned in this paper, where multi-scale plasma physics, radiative and nonthermal processes, turbulence and relativity combine to present a formidable challenge to researchers.

••
TL;DR: In this paper, a review analyzes the strengths, bounds and potential weaknesses of relying on chirality and on homochirality as biomarkers, along with recommendations of how to practically use it.

TL;DR: The European Space Agency's INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (ESA/INTEGRAL) was launched aboard a Proton-DM2 rocket on 17 October 2002 at 06:41 CEST from Baikonur in Kazakhstan as mentioned in this paper.

••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the INTEGRAL spectrometer SPI to detect 26 Al and 60 Fe lines from nucleosynthesis and found Doppler broadenings and systematic shifts with longitude, originating from large-scale galactic rotation.
22 citations
••
TL;DR: In this article, the gamma-ray lines have been detected in one core collapse supernova (SN 1987A), one Type Ia supernova, and one supernova remnant (Cas A), but these observations have provided and are providing important information about the explosion mechanisms.

TL;DR: The Central Molecular Zone of the Milky Way (CMZ) as discussed by the authors is defined by a diverse variety of ISM features in numerous stages of evolution and provides a unique laboratory for probing the effects of these environments on the interplay between the ISM and star formation, and high resolution observations of both individual features and the large-scale structure of the CMZ can improve our understanding of the formation and evolution of this region, which can then apply to similar regions in nearby galaxies.
12 citations
••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how the INTEGRAL mission has provided upper limits on the gamma-ray emission from black-hole binary mergers, detected a short gamma ray burst in coincidence with a binary neutron star merger, contributed to define the spectral energy distribution of a blazar associated with a neutrino event, and detected a magnetar flare associated with fast radio bursting emission.
9 citations
••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current observational status and theoretical interpretations for the class of broad lines type Ic supernovae, which are characterized by fast photospheric expansion and lack of H and He absorption.
8 citations
••
TL;DR: The INTEGRAL X-ray survey has proven to be of fundamental importance as mentioned in this paper and has mapped the Galactic plane with its large field of view and excellent sensitivity, and provided the triggers for many follow-up campaigns from radio frequencies to gamma-rays.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the scientific literature based on the INTEGRAL data, which has significantly advanced our knowledge in the field of relativistic astrophysics.
1 citations
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first time the auroral observations by INTEGRAL and review earlier studies of the most intense solar flares, which can be considered as another topic of serendipitous science with IntEGRAL.
••
TL;DR: There are lots of models dealing with the cause of the effects assigned to "dark matter" and "dark energy" as mentioned in this paper, and a brief review is devoted to the very recent theoretical advances in these areas: only to the advances achieved in the last few years.
