Can radiative cooling and nongravitational heating explain simultaneously the global X-ray properties of clusters and the unresolved cosmic X-ray background ?

Yan-Jie Xue, Xiang-Ping Wu

Using a simple analytic approach we address the question of whether radiative cooling, nongravitational heating and cooling plus heating models can simultaneously explain the obser…

Natural Inflation, Planck Scale Physics and Oscillating Primordial Spectrum

Xiulian Wang, Bo Feng, Mingzhe Li +2

In the ``natural inflation'' model, the inflaton potential is periodic. We show that Planck scale physics may induce corrections to the inflaton potential, which is also periodic w…
