Terrestrial Planet Finding with a Visible Light Coronagraph
M. J. Kuchner, D. N. Spergel
Directly imaging extrasolar planets using a monolithic optical telescope avoids many pitfalls of space interferometry and opens up the prospect of visible light studies of extrasol…
Using Supernovae to Determine the Equation of State of the Dark Energy: Is Shallow Better than Deep?
David N. Spergel, Glenn D. Starkman
Measurements of the flux and redshifts of Type Ia supernovae have provided persuasive evidence that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. If true, then in the context of s…
Probing the Invisible Universe: The Case for Far-IR/Submillimeter Interferometry
D. Leisawitz, T. Armstrong, D. Benford +25
The question "How did we get here and what will the future bring?" captures the human imagination and the attention of the National Academy of Science's Astronomy and Astrophysics…
A New Pupil for Detecting Extrasolar Planets
David N. Spergel
The challenge for optical detection of terrestial planet is the 25 magnitude brightness contrast between the planet and its host star. This paper introduces a new pupil design that…
Self-Interacting Dark Matter
Benjamin D. Wandelt, Romeel Dave, Glennys R. Farrar +3
Spergel and Steinhardt have recently proposed the concept of dark matter with strong self-interactions as a means to address numerous discrepancies between observations of dark mat…
Domain Wall Dominated Universes
Richard A. Battye, Martin Bucher, David Spergel
We consider a cosmogony with a dark matter component consisting of a network of frustrated domain walls. Such a network provides a solid dark matter component with that…
