The Formation of Disk Galaxies
J. J. Dalcanton, D. N. Spergel, F J Summers
We present a scenario for the formation of disks which explains not only the properties of normal galaxies, but the properties of the population of low surface brightness galaxies…
Cosmology in a String-Dominated Universe
David Spergel, Ue-Li Pen
The string-dominated universe locally resembles an open universe, and fits dynamical measures of power spectra, cluster abundances, redshift distortions, lensing constraints, lumin…
Determining Cosmological Parameters from the Microwave Background
Arthur Kosowsky, Marc Kamionkowski, Gerard Jungman +1
Recently funded satellites will map the cosmic microwave background radiation with unprecedented sensitivities and angular resolutions. Assuming only primordial adiabatic scalar an…
Distinguishing Causal Seeds from Inflation
Wayne Hu, David N. Spergel, Martin White
Causal seed models, such as cosmological defects, generically predict a distinctly different structure to the CMB power spectrum than inflation, due to the behavior of the perturba…
The Milky Way, The Local Galaxies \& the IR Tully-Fisher Relation
Sangeeta Malhotra, David N Spergel, James E Rhoads +1
Using the near infrared fluxes of local galaxies derived from COBE/DIRBE J(1.25 m) K (2.2 m) \& L (3.5 m) band maps and published Cepheid distances, we construct Tully-Fis…
Particle Dark Matter
David N. Spergel
Several lines of evidence suggest that some of the dark matter may be non-baryonic: the non-detection of various plausible baryonic candidates for dark matter inferred, e.g., from…
