Five Planets Orbiting 55 Cancri

Debra A. Fischer, Geoffrey W. Marcy, R. Paul Butler +9

We report 18 years of Doppler shift measurements of a nearby star, 55 Cancri, that exhibit strong evidence for five orbiting planets. The four previously reported planets are stron…

Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking and Low Energy Gauge Mediation

Michael Dine, John Mason

Dynamical breaking of supersymmetry was long thought to be an exceptional phenomenon, but recent developments have altered this view. A question of great interest in the current fr…

Study of B0 --> l+l'- decays (l,l' = e,mu)

The BaBar Collaboration, B. Aubert

We present a search for the decays B0 --> e+e-, B0 --> mu+ mu- and B0 --> e mu using data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e-collider at SLAC. Using a dataset corr…

Metastable Domains of the Landscape

Michael Dine, Guido Festuccia, Alexander Morisse +1

We argue that the vast majority of flux vacua with small cosmological constant are unstable to rapid decay to a big crunch. Exceptions are states with large compactification volume…

The color excess of quasars with intervening DLA systems- Analysis of the SDSS data release five

Giovanni Vladilo, Jason X. Prochaska, Arthur M. Wolfe

We analyzed the spectroscopic and photometric database of the 5th data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to search for evidence of the quasar reddening produced by dus…

Testing the nature of S0 galaxies using planetary nebula kinematics in NGC 1023

E. Noordermeer, M. R. Merrifield, L. Coccato +9

We investigate the manner in which lenticular galaxies are formed by studying their stellar kinematics: an S0 formed from a fading spiral galaxy should display similar cold outer d…

Creation of the X-ray Cavity Jet and its Radio Lobe in M87/Virgo with Cosmic Rays; Relevance to Relic Radio Sources

William G. Mathews, Fabrizio Brighenti

Young cavities in the X-ray emitting hot gas in galaxy clusters are often filled with radio synchrotron emission and it is widely thought that the cavities are inflated by these co…

Trouble for AGN Feedback ? The puzzle of the core of the Galaxy Cluster AWM 4

Fabio Gastaldello, David A. Buote, Fabrizio Brighenti +1

The core of the relaxed cluster AWM 4 is characterized by a unique combination of properties which defy a popular scenario for ANG heating of cluster cores. A flat inner temperatur…

Eternal Inflation, past and future

Anthony Aguirre

Cosmological inflation, if it occurred, radically alters the picture of the `big bang', which would merely point to reheating at the end of inflation. Moreover, this reheating may…

Discovery of an extended debris disk around the F2V star HD 15745

Paul Kalas, Gaspard Duchene, Michael P. Fitzgerald +1

Using the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, we have discovered dust-scattered light from the debris disk surrounding the F2V star HD 15745. The circums…
