A Consistent Microlensing Model for the Galactic Bar

HongSheng Zhao, R. M. Rich, D. N. Spergel

We compute a microlensing map for the Galactic bar. The predicted event rate and event duration distribution are consistent with the events recently reported by the MACHO and…

A Self-Consistent Dynamical Model for the COBE Detected Galactic Bar

HongSheng Zhao

A 3D steady state stellar dynamical model for the Galactic bar is constructed with 485 orbit building blocks using an extension of Schwarzschild technique. The weights of the orbit…

Isolating the Foreground of the X-Ray Background

A. Refregier, D. J. Helfand, R. G. McMahon

The foreground component of the X-ray Background (XRB) can be studied by cross-correlating its intensity with galaxy catalogs. We computed the two-point cross-correlation function…

H I, H II, and R-Band Observations of a Galactic Merger Sequence

J. E. Hibbard, J. H. van Gorkom

We present high-quality aperture synthesis observations of the neutral hydrogen distribution in a sample of five galactic systems believed to be involved in progressive stages of m…

The Inverse-Compton And Extragalactic Components Of The Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emission

Andrew Chen, Joseph Dwyer, Philip Kaaret

We present spectra of the inverse-Compton and extragalactic components of the high-energy gamma-radiation based on an analysis of the emission at high galactic latitudes (b$…

Cosmological-Parameter Determination with Microwave Background Maps

Gerard Jungman, Marc Kamionkowski, Arthur Kosowsky +1

The angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) contains information on virtually all cosmological parameters of interest, including the geometry of the Univers…

K Giants in Baade's Window. I. Velocity and Line-strength Measurements

D. M. Terndrup, E. M. Sadler, R. M. Rich

This is the first in a series of papers in which we analyze medium--resolution spectra of over 400 K and M giants in Baade's Window. Our sample was selected from the proper motion…

Weighing the Universe with the Cosmic Microwave Background

Gerard Jungman, Marc Kamionkowski, Arthur Kosowsky +1

Variations in , the total density of the Universe, leave a clear and distinctive imprint on the power spectrum of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CM…

Non-thermal radiative pair plasmas: processes and spectra

Ravi P. Pilla, Jacob Shaham

We study the emission and absorption spectra due to various photon and pair processes in a non-equilibrium pair plasma containing a significant density of photons. We present here…

On the usage of Flaring Gas Layers to determine the Shape of Dark Matter Halos

Rob P. Olling

I present a new method of deriving the shape of the dark matter (DM) halos of spiral galaxies. The method relies on the comparison of model predictions with high spectral and spati…

Solar Neutrinos: Radiative Corrections in Neutrino-Electron Scattering Experiments

John N. Bahcall, Marc Kamionkowski, Alberto Sirlin

Radiative corrections to the electron recoil-energy spectra and to total cross sections are computed for neutrino-electron scattering by solar neutrinos. Radiative corrections chan…

Potential of Interplanetary Torques and Solar Modulation for Triggering Terrestrial Atmospheric and Lithospheric Events

R. W. Fairbridge, G. Windelius, H. J. Haubold

The Sun is forced into an orbit around the barycenter of the solar system because of the changing mass distribution of the planets. Solar-planetary-lunar dynamic relationships may…
