Gravitational Radiation from First-Order Phase Transitions
Marc Kamionkowski, Arthur Kosowsky, Michael S. Turner
We consider the stochastic background of gravity waves produced by first-order cosmological phase transitions from two types of sources: colliding bubbles and hydrodynamic turbulen…
The Meaning of Eros/Macho
Michael S. Turner
Most of the mass density in the Universe---and in the halo of our own galaxy---exists in the form of dark matter. Overall, the contribution of luminous matter (in stars) to the mas…
Why is the Temperature of the Universe 2.726K?
M. S. Turner
NASA's Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) Satellite has recently made the most accurate measurement of the temperature of the Universe determining it to be K. In tr…
Recovering the Inflationary Potential
M. S. Turner
A procedure is developed for the recovery of the inflationary potential over the interval that affects astrophysical scales ($\approx 1\Mpc - 10^4\Mpc$). The amplitudes of the scal…
Effect of Finite Nucleon Mass on Primordial Nucleosynthesis
Geza Gyuk, Michael S. Turner
We have modified the standard code for primordial nucleosynthesis to include the effect of finite nucleon mass on the weak-interaction rates as calculated by Seckel \cite{seckel}.…
Tensor Perturbations in Inflationary Models as a Probe of Cosmology
Michael S. Turner, Martin White, James E. Lidsey
In principle, the tensor metric (gravity-wave) perturbations that arise in inflationary models can, beyond probing the underlying inflationary model, provide information about the…
Inflation After COBE: Lectures on Inflationary Cosmology
Michael S. Turner
In these lectures I review the standard hot big-bang cosmology, emphasizing its successes, its shortcomings, and its major challenge---a detailed understanding of the formation of…
Dark Matter: Theoretical Perspectives
M. S. Turner
Talk presented at NAS Special Colloquium on Physical Cosmology
Constraints on Dirac Neutrinos from SN 1987A
R. Mayle, D. N. Schramm, M. S. Turner +1
The Livermore Supernova Explosion Code was used to calculate the effect of a massive Dirac neutrino on neutrino emission from SN 1987A in a fully self-consistent manner. Spin-flip…
