Contextual Constraint Modeling in Grid Application Workflows

G. E. Graham, M. Anzar Afaq, David Evans +3

This paper introduces a new mechanism for specifying constraints in distributed workflows. By introducing constraints in a contextual form, it is shown how different people and gro…

The Halo of the Milky Way

Heidi Jo Newberg, Brian Yanny

We show that the star counts in the spheroid of the Milky Way are not symmetric about the l=0, l=180 deg. plane. The minimum counts are found towards l=155 deg. The Galactic longit…

A new method of measuring the peculiar velocity power spectrum

Pengjie Zhang, Albert Stebbins, Roman Juszkiewicz +1

We show that by directly correlating the cluster kinetic Sunyaev Zeldovich (KSZ) flux, the cluster peculiar velocity power spectrum can be measured to accuracy by future…
