Is there a common origin for the WMAP low multipole and for the ellipticity in BOOMERanG CMB maps?

V. G. Gurzadyan, P. A. R. Ade, P. de Bernardis +19

We have measured the ellipticity of several degree scale anisotropies in the BOOMERanG maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at 150 GHz. The average ellipticity is around 2…

Detailed Studies of Cloud Cores: Probing the Initial Conditions for Protostellar Collapse

Philippe Andre, Arnaud Belloche, Patrick Hennebelle +1

Improving our understanding of the earliest stages of star formation is crucial to gain insight into the origin of stellar masses, multiple systems, and protoplanetary disks. We di…

Radiative corrections to the excitonic molecule state in GaAs microcavities

A. L. Ivanov, P. Borri, W. Langbein +1

The optical properties of excitonic molecules (XXs) in GaAs-based quantum well microcavities (MCs) are studied, both theoretically and experimentally. We show that the radiative co…

A Sample of Field Ellipticals

Rodney M. Smith, Vicent J. Martinez, Matthew J. Graham

Using well-defined selection criteria applied to the LEDA galaxy catalogue we have constructed a sample of elliptical galaxies that can be taken to lie in the field. Such criteria…

The Subillimeter Properties of Extremely Red Objects in the CUDSS Fields

Tracy Webb, Mark Brodwin, Steve Eales +1

We discuss the submillimeter properties of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in the two Canada-UK Deep Submillimeter Survey (CUDSS) Fields. We measure the mean submillimeter flux of the…

Spectral stability of the Coulomb-Dirac Hamiltonian with anomalous magnetic moment

Hubert Kalf, Karl Michael Schmidt

We show that the point spectrum of the standard Coulomb-Dirac operator H_0 is the limit of the point spectrum of the Dirac operator with anomalous magnetic moment H_a as the anomal…

Semi-analytical homologous solutions of the gravo-magnetic contraction

P. Hennebelle

We propose an extension of the semi-analytical solutions derived by Lin et al. (1965) describing the two-dimensional homologous collapse of a self-gravitating rotating cloud having…

Protostellar collapse induced by compression. II: rotation and fragmentation

P. Hennebelle, A. Whitworth, S. Cha +1

We investigate numerically and semi-analytically the collapse of low-mass, rotating prestellar cores. Initially, the cores are in approximate equilibrium with low rotation (the ini…

Upper limits on the strength of periodic gravitational waves from PSR J1939+2134

B. Allen, G. Woan

The first science run of the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors presented the opportunity to test methods of searching for gravitational waves from known pulsars. Here we pr…

CDM in LSB Galaxies: Toward the Optimal Halo Profile

W. J. G. de Blok

Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies are dominated by dark matter. High-resolution rotation curves suggest that their total mass-density distributions are dominated by constant de…

Dust obscuration studies along quasar sight lines using simulated galaxies

D. K. Churches, A. H. Nelson, M. G. Edmunds

We use the results of a set of three-dimensional SPH-Treecode simulations which model the formation and early evolution of disk galaxies, including the generation of heavy elements…

The dynamical evolution of fractal star clusters: the survival of substructure

Simon P. Goodwin, A. P. Whitworth

We simulate the dynamics of fractal star clusters, in order to investigate the evolution of substructure in recently formed clusters. The velocity dispersion is found to be the key…
