Cosmic Covariance and the Low Quadrupole Anisotropy of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Data

Lung-Yih Chiang, Pavel D. Naselsky, Peter Coles

The quadrupole power of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies seen in the WMAP data is puzzlingly low. In this paper we demonstrate that Minimum Variance Optim…

The relationship between the prestellar core mass function and the stellar initial mass function

Simon P Goodwin, Dave Nutter, Pavel Kroupa +2

Stars form from dense molecular cores, and the mass function of these cores (the CMF) is often found to be similar to the form of the stellar initial mass function (IMF). This sugg…
