CMB Observational Techniques and Recent Results
E. L. Wright
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) consists of photons that were last created about 2 months after the Big Bang, and last scattered about 380,000 years after the Big Bang. The s…
Radiative Transfer Modeling of Passive Circumstellar Disks: Application to HR4796A
T. Currie, D. Semenov, Th. Henning +2
We present a radiative transfer model which computes the spectral energy distribution of a passive, irradiated, circumstellar disk, assuming the grains are in radiative equilibrium…
The dark matter halos of spheroidal galaxies and clusters of galaxies
T. Treu, L. V. E. Koopmans, D. J. Sand +2
We describe the first results from two observational projects aimed at measuring the amount and spatial distribution of dark matter in distant early-type galaxies (E/S0s) and clust…
Kinetics of Particles in Relativistic Collisionless Shocks
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Luis O. Silva, Ricardo A. Fonseca +2
Charged plasma particles form an anisotropic counter-streaming distribution at the front of a shock. In the near- and ultra-relativistic regimes, Weibel (or two-stream) instability…
The near-IR luminosity-metallicity relationship for dwarf irregular galaxies
Ivo Saviane, R. Riegerbauer, E. V. Held +6
We briefly describe our on-going investigation of the near-IR luminosity-metallicity relationship for dwarf irregular galaxies in nearby groups of galaxies. The motivations of the…
WMAP First Year Results
E. L. Wright
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) science team has released results from the first year of operation at the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrange point. The maps are consistent with…
