Title: The Araucaria Project. The Distance to the Local Group Galaxy IC 1613 from Near-Infrared Photometry of Cepheid Variables
Abstract: We have measured accurate near-infrared magnitudes in the J and K bands of 39 Cepheid variables in IC 1613 with well-determined periods and optical VI light curves. Using the template light curve approach of Soszy{\'n}ski, Gieren and Pietrzy{\'n}ski, accurate mean magnitudes were obtained from these data...

Title: Did Swift measure GRB prompt emission radii?
Abstract: The Swift X-Ray Telescope often observes a rapidly decaying X-ray emission stretching to as long as $ t \sim 10^3$ seconds after a conventional prompt phase. This component is most likely due to a prompt emission viewed at large observer angles $\theta > 1/\Gamma$, where $\theta\sim 0.1$ is a typical vi...

Title: Stochastic Gravitational Wave Production After Inflation
Abstract: In many models of inflation, the period of accelerated expansion ends with preheating, a highly non-thermal phase of evolution during which the inflaton pumps energy into a specific set of momentum modes of field(s) to which it is coupled. This necessarily induces large, transient density inhomogeneities...
