The effects of turbulence generated in Big Bang nucleosynthesis
Charles Francis
The continuity equation requires that energy released in nuclear fusion flows away from the point of interaction and is not immediately thermalised into the CMB. It is seen that co…
The Lutz-Kelker Paradox
Charles Francis
The Lutz-Kelker correction is intended to give an unbiased estimate for stellar parallaxes and magnitudes, but it is shown explicitly that it does not. This paradox results from th…
The local standard of rest and the well in the velocity distribution
Charles Francis, Erik Anderson
It is now recognised that the traditional method of calculating the LSR fails. We find an improved estimate of the LSR by making use of the larger and more accurate database provid…
Calibration of RAVE distances to a large sample of Hipparcos stars
Charles Francis
A magnitude limited population of 18 808 Hipparcos stars is used to calibrate distances for 52 794 RAVE stars, including dwarfs, giants, and pre-main sequence stars. I give treatme…
Two estimates of the distance to the Galactic centre
Charles Francis, Erik Anderson
We use recently updated globular cluster distances to estimate the distance to the Galactic centre, finding 7.4 \pm 0.2|stat \pm 0.2|sys kpc from symmetry considerations. We recali…
The Hilbert space of conditional clauses
Charles Francis
In the absence of a satisfactory interpretation of quantum theory, physical law lacks physical basis. This paper reviews the orthodox, or Dirac-von Neumann interpretation, and make…
