A New WIMP Population in the Solar System and New Signals for Dark-Matter Detectors
Thibault Damour, Lawrence M. Krauss
We describe in detail how perturbations due to the planets can cause a sub-population of WIMPs captured by scattering in surface layers of the Sun to evolve to have orbits which no…
A New Solar System Population of WIMP Dark Matter
Thibault Damour, Lawrence M. Krauss
Perturbations due to the planets combined with the non-Coulomb nature of the gravitational potential in the Sun imply that WIMPs that are gravitationally captured by scattering in…
The Age Of Globular Clusters In Light Of Hipparcos: Resolving the Age Problem?
Brian Chaboyer, P. Demarque, Peter J. Kernan +1
We review five independent techniques which are used to set the distance scale to globular clusters, including subdwarf main sequence fitting utilizing the recent Hipparcos paralla…
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Constraints and Light Element Abundance Estimates
Lawrence M. Krauss, Peter J. Kernan
To elucidate the significance of the effect of systematic uncertainties in light element abundance estimates on cosmological bounds derivable from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) we…
