Statistical Signatures of Panspermia in Exoplanet Surveys
Henry W. Lin, Abraham Loeb
A fundamental astrobiological question is whether life can be transported between extrasolar systems. We propose a new strategy to answer this question based on the principle that…
Scaling Relations of Halo Cores for Self-Interacting Dark Matter
Henry W. Lin, Abraham Loeb
Using a simple analytic formalism, we demonstrate that significant dark matter self-interactions produce halo cores that obey scaling relations nearly independent of the underlying…
Cool Core Bias in Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Galaxy Cluster Surveys
Henry W. Lin, Michael McDonald, Bradford Benson +1
Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) surveys find massive clusters of galaxies by measuring the inverse Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background off of intra-cluster gas. The cluster se…
Zipf's Law from Scale-free Geometry
Henry W. Lin, Abraham Loeb
The spatial distribution of people exhibits clustering across a wide range of scales, from household ( km) to continental ( km) scales. Empirical data indi…
