The entropy history of the universe
P. Valageas, J. Silk
Using a unified analytic model for quasars, galaxies, Lyman-alpha absorbers and the IGM, we obtain the redshift evolution of the temperature and the entropy of the gas and the corr…
On the structure and nature of dark matter halos
Andreas Burkert, Joseph Silk
The structure of dark matter halos as predicted from cosmological models is discussed and compared with observed rotation curves of dark matter-dominated dwarf galaxies. The theore…
The reheating and reionization history of the universe
P. Valageas, J. Silk
We incorporate quasars into an analytic model to describe the reheating and reionization of the universe. In combination with a previous study of galaxies and Lyman- clouds, we…
Seven Paradigms in Structure Formation
Joseph Silk
Have we converged on the definitive model of cosmology? I present a critical assessment of the current paradigms for the evolution of large-scale structure.
The redshift evolution of Lyman- absorbers
P. Valageas, R. Schaeffer, J. Silk
We present a model for the Lyman-alpha absorbers that treats all objects (from the low-density forest clouds to the dense damped systems) in a unified description. This approach is…
WOMBAT & FORECAST: Making Realistic Maps of the Microwave Sky
Andrew H. Jaffe, Eric Gawiser, Douglas Finkbeiner +11
The Wavelength-Oriented Microwave Background Analysis Team (WOMBAT) is constructing microwave maps which will be more realistic than previous simulations. Our foreground models rep…
