The Opacity of the Lyman Alpha Forest and Implications for Omega_{baryon} and the Ionizing Background

M. Rauch, J. Miralda-Escude, W. L. W. Sargent +6

We have measured the distribution function of the flux decrement caused by Lyman alpha forest absorption in a new sample of high resolution QSO spectra. The observations are compar…

Maximum-Likelihood Comparisons of Tully-Fisher and Redshift Data: Constraints on Omega and Biasing

Jeffrey A. Willick, Michael A. Strauss, Avishai Dekel +1

We compare Tully-Fisher (TF) data for 838 galaxies within cz=3000 km/sec from the Mark III catalog to the peculiar velocity and density fields predicted from the 1.2 Jy IRAS redshi…

Favored Variants of Cold Dark Matter Cosmologies

Rachel S. Somerville, Joel R. Primack

We discuss variants of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) dominated cosmological models that give good agreement with a range of observations. We consider models with hot dark matter, tilt, $Ω…

The Pattern of Correlated X-ray Timing and Spectral Behavior in GRS 1915+105

Xingming Chen, Jean H. Swank, Ronald E. Taam

From data obtained from the PCA in the 2-11 keV and 11-30.5 keV energy range, GRS 1915+105 is seen during RXTE observations between 1996 May and October on two separate branches in…

Weakly Pinned Bose Glass vs. Mott Insulator Phase in Superconductors

Carsten Wengel, Uwe Claus Täuber

We study the properties of the Bose glass phase of localized flux lines in irradiated superconductors near the matching field . Repulsive vortex interactions destroy the Mott…

Distant Galaxy Clusters Identified From Optical Background Fluctuations

Dennis Zaritsky, Amy E. Nelson, Julianne J. Dalcanton +1

We present the first high redshift (0.3 < z < 1.1) galaxy clusters found by systematically identifying optical low surface brightness fluctuations in the background sky. Using spec…

A wide scalar neutrino resonance and b\bar{b} production at LEP

Jens Erler, Jonathan L. Feng, Nir Polonsky

In supersymmetric models with R-parity violation, scalar neutrinos may be produced as s-channel resonances in e^+e^- colliders. We note that within current constraints, the scalar…

Search for CP Violation in Charged D Meson Decays

Fermilab E791 Collaboration, E. M. Aitala et al

We report results of a search for CP violation in the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D+ -> K- K+ pi+, phi pi+, K*(892)0 K+, and pi- pi+ pi+ based on data from the charm hadroprod…

Anisotropies in the Distribution of Satellite Galaxies

Dennis Zaritsky, Rodney Smith, Carlos S. Frenk +1

We find that satellites of isolated disk galaxies at projected radii between 300 and 500 kpc are distributed asymmetrically about the parent galaxy and aligned preferentially with…

More Satellites of Spiral Galaxies

Dennis Zaritsky, Rodney Smith, Carlos Frenk +1

We present a revised and expanded catalog of satellite galaxies of a set of isolated spiral galaxies similar in luminosity to the Milky Way. This sample of 115 satellites, 69 of wh…

Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay and its "Inverse"

Clemens A. Heusch, Peter Minkowski

Recent considerations by these authors pointed out the attractive features which a search for the exchange of heavy Majorana neutrinos could have for solving the mass and the lepto…

An Improved Measurement of the Left-Right Z0 Cross Section Asymmetry

SLD Collaboration, K. Abe, I. Abt et al

We present a new measurement of the left-right cross section asymmetry (ALR) for Z boson production by e+e- collisions. The measurement was performed at a center-of-mass energy of…
