The central engine of gamma-ray bursters

W. Kluzniak, M. Ruderman

GRBs are thought to arise in relativistic blast-wave shocks at distances of 10 to 1000 AU from the point where the explosive energy is initially released. To account for the observ…

Monopole-antimonopole condensation in the interpolating Georgi-Glashow model

Chulwoo Jung

We study the three dimensional Georgi-Glashow model (which interpolates smoothly between pure U(1) and SU(2) limits) using a constrained cooling which preserves 't Hooft-Polyakov m…

Theory and Statistics of Weak Lensing from Large-Scale Mass Inhomogeneities

Marc Kamionkowski, Arif Babul, Catherine M. Cress +1

Weak lensing by large-scale mass inhomogeneities in the Universe induces correlations in the observed ellipticities of distant sources. We first review the harmonic analysis and st…
