- e-ASTROGAM ('enhanced ASTROGAM') is a breakthrough Observatory space mission, with a detector composed by a Silicon tracker, a calorimeter, and an anticoincidence system, dedicated to the study of the non-thermal Universe in the photon energy range from 0.3 MeV to 3 GeV - the lower energy limit can be pushed to energies as low as 150 keV for the tracker, and to 30 keV for calorimetric detection. The mission is based on an advanced space-proven detector technology, with unprecedented sensitivity, angular and energy resolution, combined with polarimetric capability. Thanks to its performance in the MeV-GeV domain, substantially improving its predecessors, e-ASTROGAM will open a new window on the non-thermal Universe, making pioneering observations of the most powerful Galactic and extragalactic sources, elucidating the nature of their relativistic outflows and their effects on the surroundings. With a line sensitivity in the MeV energy range one to two orders of magnitude better than previous generation instruments, e-ASTROGAM will determine the origin of key isotopes fundamental for the understanding of supernova explosion and the chemical evolution of our Galaxy. The mission will provide unique data of significant interest to a broad astronomical community, complementary to powerful observatories such as LIGO-Virgo-GEO600-KAGRA, SKA, ALMA, E-ELT, TMT, LSST, JWST, Athena, CTA, IceCube, KM3NeT, and LISA.

- The effect of Ba content on the phase composition, lattice parameter, Mn-55 NMR spectrum, resistance, and magnetoresistance of La0.6Sr0.4-xBaxMnO3 perovskites was studied. The lattice parameter of the single-phase ceramic samples was found to increase with increasing x. The tolerance factor increases and the ionic field strength decreases as x increases from 0 to 0.4. The Mn-55 NMR results obtained at 77 K indicate a high-frequency electron exchange between Mn3+ and Mn4+ in the ferromagnetic phase. The peak-magnetoresistance temperature tends to decrease with increasing x. The magnetoresistance of the ceramics is correlated with the bond covalence. It is inferred that the ceramics contain inhomogeneities differing in nature and length scale (macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic), which influence their magnetoresistance.

- PSR B0950+08 is a bright nonrecycled pulsar whose single-pulse fluence variability is reportedly large. Based on observations at two widely separated frequencies, 55 MHz (NenuFAR) and 1.4 GHz (Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope), we review the properties of these single pulses. We conclude that they are more similar to ordinary pulses of radio emission than to a special kind of short and bright giant pulses, observed from only a handful of pulsars. We argue that a temporal variation of the properties of the interstellar medium along the line of sight to this nearby pulsar, namely the fluctuating size of the decorrelation bandwidth of diffractive scintillation makes an important contribution to the observed single-pulse fluence variability. We further present interesting structures in the low-frequency single-pulse spectra that resemble the "sad trombones"seen in fast radio bursts (FRBs); although for PSR B0950+08 the upward frequency drift is also routinely present. We explain these spectral features with radius-to-frequency mapping, similar to the model developed by Wang et al. (2019, ApJ, 876, L15) for FRBs. Finally, we speculate that μs-scale fluence variability of the general pulsar population remains poorly known, and that its further study may bring important clues about the nature of FRBs.

- This paper discusses the effect of hydrostatic pressure up to 0.8 GPa on magnetic properties of manganites La0.7Ca0.3 - xSrxMnO3 (0 x 0.3, x = 0.03) and magnetoresistance data in an applied magnetic field of 5.0 T. Application of pressure enlarges the temperature range of the ferromagnetic phase. Curie temperature, TC, as a function of pressure and the temperature of resistance maximum, Tp, showed an anomaly for x = 0.15. The slope of pressure dependence of TC for x < 0.15 and x > 0.15 is higher than for x = 0.15. Dependence of temperature Tp on x consists of two curves: for x 0.15 and for x 0.15. There is a sharp bend on the Tp curve at x = 0.15. The structural phase transition from orthorhombic phase (x < 0.15) to rhombohedral one (x 0.15) corresponds to that concentration.

- We report on the performance of a microwave electroceramic bolometer of hybrid La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/Al2O3 (0.2 x 2 x 4 mm(3)) structure. The estimated thermal resistance of the bulk ceramic manganite film-single crystal sapphire interface is about 500 K/W at room temperature. This resistance is the main thermal barrier in the heat sink system and has been found to be slightly dependent on temperature, When compared with the high-ire superconducting bolometers, the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 microwave electroceramic bolometer works in a more wide temperature range, from 77 K to 330 K, excluding the narrow temperature interval at the metal-insulator phase transition (T = 230 K). The microwave electroceramic bolometer sensitivity and the time constant at room temperature have been found to be 0.1 V/W and 100 ms, respectively. To improve the bolometer performance the point contact has been fabricated by a break junction technique. The optimization of a microwave electroceramic bolometer design brought to a considerable improvement of basic bolometer characteristics. The microwave sensitivity was about 0.3 V/W and the time constant was less than 100 ns.

- A lattice structure effect on the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of La0.7Ca(0.3-x)SrxMnO3 lanthanum manganites have been studied. The Curie temperature pressure coefficient increased almost linearly under an applied pressure as dTc/dP=14K/GPa and as dTc/dP=7.5K/GPa in the orthorhombic and rhombohedral structures,respectively. This is caused by the different pressure effect on the Mn–O bond distances and on the Mn–O–Mn bond angles in those phases. The anomalous low value of dTc/dP(=3.5K/GPa) for La0.7Ca0.15Sr0.15MnO3 composition and a jump of the magnetoresistance maximum value at the concentrational Pbnm2R%3c phase transition were observed and discussed.

- The effect of lattice structure on the magnetic and transport properties of La0.7Ca0.3-xSrxMnO3 (x= 0; 0.03; 0.06; ...; 0.3) lanthanum manganites have been studied. Curie temperature pressure coefficient, dTc/dP, showed the dependence on x value. Temperature Tc increased almost linearly under applied pressure as dTc/dP≈14 K/GPa and as dTc/dP≈7.5 K/GPa in the orthorhombic (Pbnm) and rhombohedral (R3c) phases, respectively. The value of dTc/dP(≈3.5 K/GPa) showed a minimum and a temperature of the resistance maximum, Tp(x), showed a change of slope at x=0.15, corresponding to the concentration structural phase transition. Differences between the values of dTc/dP and slopes of Tp versus x in Pbnm and R3c phases are explained by the different effect of external pressure on the Mn–O bond length and Mn–O–Mn bond angle, and by the different internal pressure effect in those phases, respectively

- We report a study of the structure and pressure effects on magnetic and transport properties of a lanthanum manganite, La0.7Ca0.3–xSrxMnO3 (0<=x<=0.3, Deltax = 0.03). The pressure coefficient of the Curie temperature (Tc), dTc/dP, is shown to depend on x. The temperature Tc increases approximately linearly under applied pressure as dTc/dP[approximate]14 K/GPa in the orthorhombic (Pbnm) phase and as dTc/dP[approximate]7.5 K/GPa in the rhombohedral (R3-bar c). The value of dTc/dP shows a minimum ([approximate]3.5 K/GPa) and the temperature of the resistance maximum, Tp(x), shows a change of slope at x = 0.15, corresponding to a concentration structural phase transition. Differences between the values of dTc/dP and the slopes of Tp vs x in Pbnm and R3-bar c phases are explained by the different effect of external pressure on the Mn–O bond length and the Mn–O–Mn bond angle, and by the different internal pressure effect (depending on the value of x) in those phases, respectively.

- A gamma-ray detector composed of a single 28×28×20 mm3 LaBr3:Ce crystal coupled to a custom built 4×4 array of silicon photomultipliers was tested over an energy range of 30 keV to 9.3 MeV. The silicon photomultipliers were initially calibrated using 20 ns light pulses generated by a light emitting diode. The photodetector responses measured as a function of the number of incident photons were found to be non-linear and consistent with model predictions. Using corrections for the non-linearity of the silicon photomultipliers, the detector showed a linear response to gamma-rays with energies from 100 keV to the maximum available energy of 9.3 MeV. The energy resolution was found to be 4% FWHM at 662 keV. Despite the large thickness of the scintillator (20 mm) and a 5 mm thick optical window, the detector was capable of measuring the positions of the gamma-ray interaction points. The position resolution was measured at 356 keV and was found to be 8 mm FWHM in the detector plane and 11 mm FWHM for the depth of interaction. The detector can be used as a building block of a larger calorimeter system that is capable of measuring gamma-ray energies up to tens of MeV.
