Passing through the bounce in the ekpyrotic models

Jerome Martin, Patrick Peter, Nelson Pinto Neto +1

By considering a simplified but exact model for realizing the ekpyrotic scenario, we clarify various assumptions that have been used in the literature. In particular, we discuss th…

Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays from Neutrino Emitting Acceleration Sources?

Oleg E. Kalashev, Vadim A. Kuzmin, Dmitry V. Semikoz +1

We demonstrate by numerical flux calculations that neutrino beams producing the observed highest energy cosmic rays by weak interactions with the relic neutrino background require…

The different Clustering of red and blue galaxies: a robust signal from w(theta)

Remi A. Cabanac, Valerie de Lapparent, P. Hickson

A sample of ~20,000 galaxies covering 0.76 deg2 were observed with the CFHT-UH8K up to V<23.5 and I<22.5. The angular correlation analysis of the red selected sample (V-I>1.4) show…

Deuterium Toward WD1634-573: Results from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) Mission

B. E. Wood, J. L. Linsky, G. Hebrard +5

We use Far Ultraviolet Spectrocopic Explorer (FUSE) observations to study interstellar absorption along the line of sight to the white dwarf WD1634-573 (d=37.1+/-2.6 pc). Combining…

Dimming of Supernovae by Photon-Pseudoscalar Conversion and the Intergalactic Plasma

Cédric Deffayet, Diego Harari, Jean-Philippe Uzan +1

Recently Csaki, Kaloper and Terning (hep-ph/0111311) suggested that the observed dimming of distant type Ia supernovae may be a consequence of mixing of the photons with very light…

Associated absorption in radio quasars. I. C IV absorption and the growth of radio sources

J. C. Baker, R. W. Hunstead, R. M. Athreya +4

We assess the global properties of associated C IV 1548,1550 absorption lines measured in the spectra of radio-loud quasars drawn from a near-complete, low-frequency selected sampl…

Post-Newtonian approximation for isolated systems calculated by matched asymptotic expansions

Olivier Poujade, Luc Blanchet

Two long-standing problems with the post-Newtonian approximation for isolated slowly-moving systems in general relativity are: (i) the appearance at high post-Newtonian orders of d…

Innermost circular orbit of binary black holes at the third post-Newtonian approximation

Luc Blanchet

The equations of motion of two point masses have recently been derived at the 3PN approximation of general relativity. From that work we determine the location of the innermost cir…

B-modes in cosmic shear from source redshift clustering

P. Schneider, L. van Waerbeke, Y. Mellier

Weak gravitational lensing by the large scale structure can be used to probe the dark matter distribution in the Universe directly and thus to probe cosmological models. The recent…

Generalized observers and velocity measurements in General Relativity

P. Crawford, I. Tereno

To resolve some unphysical interpretations related to velocity measurements by static observers, we discuss the use of generalized observer sets, give a prescription for defining t…
