Large surface arrays of current cosmic ray experiments measure the signals of electromagnetic or muonic components or their combination. The correction to the zenith angle (the attenuation curve) has to be taken into account before the signal is converted to the shower energy. Either Monte Carlo simulations or indirect estimation using collected data (Constant Intensity Cut method) can be used. However, the assumptions of composition or isotropy used for the determination of the attenuation curve can still influence the final physics results such as the energy spectrum, or modify anisotropy searches and composition analysis. Using simplified Toy Monte Carlo with an output from CORSIKA simulations we try to find several examples of what kind of effects can be caused by the methods of inferring the attenuation curve. Surface arrays of different sensitivities to electromagnetic and muonic components were considered.

Modern cosmic ray experiments consisting of large array of particle detectors measure the signals of electromagnetic or muon components or their combination. The correction for an amount of atmosphere passed is applied to the surface detector signal
before its conversion to the shower energy. Either Monte Carlo based approach assuming certain composition of primaries or indirect estimation using real data and assuming isotropy of arrival directions can be used. Toy surface arrays of different sensitivities to electromagnetic and muon components are assumed in MC simulations to study effects imposed on attenuation curves for varying composition or possible high energy anisotropy. The possible sensitivity of the attenuation curve to the mass composition is also tested for different array types focusing on a future apparatus that can separate muon and electromagnetic component signals.
We investigate -- as an alternative to usual Monte Carlo Renormalization Group methods -- the feasibility of extracting QCD beta-functions directly from a lattice analysis of correlations between the action and Wilson loops. We test this correlation
technique numerically in four dimensional SU(2) gauge theory, on a 16^4 lattice at beta = 2.5 and find very promising results.
We compile a sample of about 157,000 spaxels from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at the Apache Point Observatory survey to derive the average dust attenuation curve for subgalactic star-forming regions of local star-forming galaxies (SFGs) in the optica
l wavelength, following the method of cite{Calzetti1994}. We obtain a $D_n(4000)$-independent average attenuation curve for spaxels with $1.1leq D_n(4000)<1.3$, which is similar to the one derived from either local starbursts or normal SFGs. We examine whether and how the shape of the average attenuation curve changes with several local and global physical properties. For spaxels with $1.2leq D_n(4000)<1.3$, we find no dependence on either local or global physical properties for the shape of the average attenuation curve. However, for spaxels with younger stellar population ($1.1leq D_n(4000)<1.2$), shallower average attenuation curves are found for star-forming regions with smaller stellar mass surface density, smaller star formation rate surface density, or those residing in the outer region of galaxies. These results emphasize the risk of using one single attenuation curve to correct the dust reddening for all types of star-forming regions, especially for those with fairly young stellar population.
As a science verification study of the newly released AKARI/FIS Faint Source Catalog ver.1, this paper discusses the different levels of dust attenuation toward stellar light and nebular emission lines within local star-forming galaxies at 0.02<z<0.1
0. By constructing an updated version of the AKARI-SDSS-GALEX matched galaxy catalog (with >2,000 sources), we compare the dust attenuation levels toward stellar light (from L(IR)/L(UV) ratio) and nebular emission lines (from H-alpha/H-beta ratio). We find that there is a clear trend that more massive galaxies tend to have higher extra attenuation toward nebular regions, while galaxies with higher specific star formation rates tend to have lower extra attenuation. We also confirm these trends by using the WISE mid-infrared photometry with a significantly large sample size of the WISE-SDSS-GALEX galaxies (>50,000 sources). Finally, we study how the levels of extra attenuation toward nebular regions change across the SFR-Mstar plane. We find that, even at a fixed stellar mass, galaxies located below the main sequence tend to have higher levels of extra attenuation toward nebular regions, suggesting the change in dust geometry within the galaxies across the star-forming main sequence during the course of star formation quenching process.
Since its launch in 2008, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has detected over 200 -ray pulsars above 100 MeV. This population of pulsars is characterised by a rich diversity of light curve morphologies. Researchers have been using both the radio a
nd -ray light curves to constrain the inclination and observer angles for each of these pulsars. At first, this was done using a by-eye technique and later via statistical approaches. We have also developed two novel statistical approaches that place the radio and -ray data on equal footing despite their disparate relative flux errors. We chose eleven pulsars from the Second Fermi Pulsar Catalog, both old and young, and applied these new techniques as well as the by-eye technique to constrain their geometric parameters using standard pulsar models. We present first results on our comparison of the best-fit parameters yielded by each of the aforementioned techniques. This will assist us in determining the utility of our new statistical approaches, and gauge the overlap of the best-fit parameters (plus errors) from each of the different methods. Such a statistical fitting approach will provide the means for further pulsar magnetospheric model development using light curve data.
