Description
We report on the results of a coordinated observation of Mrk 421 during outburst using data from XMM-Newton and ground-based TeV data from two Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes, the Whipple 10m telescope, based in Arizona, and the MAGIC telescope, based on La Palma in the Canary Islands. The coordinated effort between the two TeV groups allowed for truly simultaneous data in TeV energies during the majority of the XMM observation, which stretched over several hours. This simultaneous coverage with both XMM's EPIC PN detector and Optical Monitor as well as the ground-based TeV telescopes allowed the correlation of X-ray, optical, and TeV variability to be studied over the course of the observation. Studies of spectral hysteresis, multi-wavelength spectral results, and hardness-intensity correlations from the observations will also be presented.

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on

    The molecular gas perspective on the growth and death of H emitters in the Spiderweb protocluster at Alpha z=2.16
    Galaxy clusters at low redshift are dominated by massive quiescent galaxies hosting stellar populations 10 Gyrs old, indicating that they were formed in the early universe when clusters were still in the process of being assembled (i.e., protoclusters). The rapid growth of galaxies within protoclusters is driven by the efficient transformation of

    Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas
    Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas provides a comprehensive theory and practice of basic plasma processes in the Sun and heliosphere. It deals with the basic dynamics of the Sun from its interior up to its outer atmosphere in the framework of Magnetohydrodynamics. Topics covered include essential phenomena in the solar interior such as
