The Evolution of Ly-alpha Absorbing Galaxies

Suzanne M. Linder

The evolution of Ly-alpha absorber counts is simulated for a model population of absorbing galaxies. The distribution of gas relative to galaxies could evolve between moderate and…

The radio luminosity function from the low-frequency 3CRR, 6CE & 7CRS complete samples

Chris J. Willott, Steve Rawlings, Katherine M. Blundell +2

We measure the radio luminosity function (RLF) of steep-spectrum radio sources using three redshift surveys of flux-limited samples selected at low (151 & 178 MHz) radio frequency,…

A data-analysis strategy for detecting gravitational-wave signals from inspiraling compact binaries with a network of laser-interferometric detectors

Archana Pai, Sanjeev Dhurandhar, Sukanta Bose

A data-analysis strategy based on the maximum-likelihood method (MLM) is presented for the detection of gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries with a network of lase…

On the contribution of density perturbations and gravitational waves to the lower order multipoles of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

A. Dimitropoulos, L. P. Grishchuk

The important studies of Peebles, and Bond and Efstathiou have led to the formula C_l = const/[l(l +1)] aimed at describing the lower order multipoles of the CMBR temperature varia…

A Comparison of search templates for gravitational waves from binary inspiral

Thibault Damour, Bala R. Iyer, B. S. Sathyaprakash

We compare the performances of the templates defined by three different types of approaches: traditional post-Newtonian templates (Taylor-approximants), ``resummed'' post-Newtonian…

An empirical model for protostellar collapse

A. P. Whitworth, D. Ward-Thompson

We propose a new analytic model for the initial conditions of protostellar collapse in relatively isolated regions of star formation. The model is non-magnetic, and is based on a P…

The Case Against Cosmology

M. J. Disney

It is argued that some of the recent claims for cosmology are grossly overblown. Cosmology rests on a very small database: it suffers from many fundamental difficulties as a scienc…
