On the Influence of Supernova Remnant Thermal Energy in Powering Galactic Winds
The fundamental tenet of the classical supernovae-driven wind model of elliptical galaxies is that the residual thermal energy of all

Quasar-microlensing versus star-microlensing evidence of small-planetary-mass objects as the dominant inner-halo galactic dark matter
We examine recent results of two kinds of microlensing experiments intended to detect galactic dark matter objects, and we suggest
