[HTML][HTML] Two emission mechanisms in the Fermi bubbles: a possible signal of annihilating dark matter

D Hooper, TR Slatyer - Physics of the Dark Universe, 2013 - Elsevier
We study the variation of the spectrum of the Fermi Bubbles with Galactic latitude. Far from

Fast radio bursts from extragalactic light sails

M Lingam, A Loeb - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the possibility that fast radio bursts (FRBs) originate from the activity of
extragalactic civilizations. Our analysis shows that beams used for powering large light sails …

Dyson spheres
