Linear theory and velocity correlations of clusters

Ravi K. Sheth, Idit Zehavi

Linear theory provides a reasonable description of the velocity correlations of biased tracers both perpendicular and parallel to the line of separation, provided one accounts for…

Do the nearby BHB stars belong to the Thick Disk or the Halo?

T. D. Kinman, Heather L. Morrison, Warren R. Brown

We study the Milky Way region Z<3.0 kpc, where the thick disk and inner halo overlap, by using the kinematics of local blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars (within 1 kpc) and new sam…

CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Probing Inflation with CMB Polarization

Daniel Baumann, Mark G. Jackson, Peter Adshead +56

We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measu…

Birkhoff's theorem fails to save MOND from non-local physics

De-Chang Dai, Reijiro Matsuo, Glenn Starkman

We investigate the consequences of Birkhoff's theorem in general relativity (GR) and in Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). We study, in particular, the system of a finite-mass tes…

Constraining the NFW Potential with Observations and Modeling of LSB Galaxy Velocity Fields

Rachel Kuzio de Naray, Stacy S. McGaugh, J. Christopher Mihos

We model the NFW potential to determine if, and under what conditions, the NFW halo appears consistent with the observed velocity fields of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. W…
