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…
Science with ASKAP - the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder
S. Johnston, R. Taylor, M. Bailes +47
[ABRIDGED VERSION] The future of cm and m-wave astronomy lies with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a telescope under development by a consortium of 17 countries. The SKA will be…
Modeling Mass-Loss and Infrared Excess in Large Magellanic Cloud Cepheids
Hilding R. Neilson, Chow-Choong Ngeow, Shashi M. Kanbur +1
The purpose of this preliminary work is to determine if Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids have stellar winds. If a Cepheid undergoes mass loss then at some distance from the st…
Can binary mergers produce maximally spinning black holes?
Michael Kesden
Gravitational waves carry away both energy and angular momentum as binary black holes inspiral and merge. The relative efficiency with which they are radiated determines whether th…
Gravity Waves Signatures from Anisotropic pre-Inflation
A. E. Gumrukcuoglu, Lev Kofman, Marco Peloso
We show that expanding or contracting Kasner universes are unstable due to the amplification of gravitational waves (GW). As an application of this general relativity effect, we co…
Galaxy Mass Growth in GDDS and SDSS
Karl Glazebrook, Erin Mentuch, Pat McCarthy +3
I present some new results related to our understanding of the masses of galaxies both in the local and high-redshift Universe. At high-redshift new Spitzer data on galaxies in the…
