Solar Neutrinos: Probing the Quasi-Isothermal Solar Core Produced by SUSY Dark Matter Particles
Ilidio Lopes, Joseph Silk
SNO measurements strongly constrain the central temperature of the Sun within a precision of much less than 1%. This result can be used to constrain the parameter space of SUSY dar…
Aspects of Galaxy Formation
Joseph Silk
I describe some of the current challenges in galaxy formation theory with applications to formation of disks and of spheroids. Forthcoming deep surveys of galaxies with Keck and VL…
The implications for helioseismology of experimental uncertainties in Newton's constant
Ilidio Lopes, Joseph Silk
The experimental uncertainties in G between different experiments have important implications for helioseismology. We show that these uncertainties for the standard solar model lea…
Helioseismology as a New Constraint on SUSY Dark Matter
Ilidio P. Lopes, Joseph Silk, Steen H. Hansen
The presence of dark matter in the solar neighbourhood can be tested in the framework of stellar evolution theory by using the new results of helioseismology. If weakly interacting…
Combined multi-frequency map for point source substraction
Pavel Naselsky, Dimitri Novikov, Joseph Silk
A method is proposed for combining multi-frequency maps in order to produce a catalogue of extragalactic point sources using data from future high-precision satellite experiments.…
A Bayesian non-parametric method to detect clusters in Planck data
J. M. Diego, P. Vielva, E. Martinez-Gonzalez +2
We show how one may expect a significant number of SZ detections in future Planck data without any of the typical assumptions needed in present component separation methods, such a…
Supermassive Black Holes and Galaxy Formation
Joseph Silk
The formation of supermassive black holes (SMBH) is intimately related to galaxy formation, although precisely how remains a mystery. I speculate that formation of, and feedback fr…
Heating of the intergalactic medium due to structure formation
Biman Nath, Joseph Silk
We estimate the heating of the intergalactic medium due to shocks arising from structure formation. Heating of the gas outside the collapsed regions, with small overdensities (${n_…
On the Possible Sources of D/H Dispersion at High Redshift
Brian D. Fields, Keith A. Olive, Joseph Silk +2
Recent observations suggest the existence of a white dwarf population in the Galactic halo, while others suggest that deuterium has been astrated in systems at high redshift and lo…
CO emission from high redshift
Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Joseph Silk, Marco Spaans
Future observations with ALMA will be able to detect star-forming primordial gal axies, and perhaps even their dwarf spheroidal satellites, in CO emission lines at redshifts approa…
Constraining the window on sterile neutrinos as warm dark matter
Steen H. Hansen, Julien Lesgourgues, Sergio Pastor +1
Sterile neutrinos may be one of the best Warm Dark Matter candidates we have today. Both lower and upper bounds on the mass of the sterile neutrino come from astronomical observati…
Merger Histories in Warm Dark Matter Structure Formation Scenario
Alexander Knebe, Julien Devriendt, Asim Mahmood +1
Observations on galactic scales seem to be in contradiction with recent high resolution N-body simulations. This so-called cold dark matter (CDM) crisis has been addressed in sever…
On the Possibility of Observing H2 Emission from Primordial Molecular Cloud Kernels
Hideyuki Kamaya, Joseph Silk
We study the prospects for observing H emission during the assembly of primordial molecular cloud kernels. The primordial molecular cloud cores, which resemble those at the pre…
Bumpy Power Spectra and Galaxy Clusters
Alexander Knebe, Ranty Islam, Joseph Silk
The evolution of the abundance of galaxy clusters is not a reliable measure of Omega if there are features on scales of a few Mpc in the primordial power spectrum. Conversely, if w…
A backwards approach to the formation of disk galaxies I. Stellar and gas content
I. Ferreras, J. Silk
A simple chemical enrichment code is described where the two basic mechanisms driving the evolution of the ages and metallicities of the stellar populations are the star formation…
A joint fit to the cosmological Model and the T-M and L_x-T relations using cluster data
J. M. Diego, E. Martinez-Gonzalez, J. L. Sanz +3
In this work we show how well can the cosmological parameters be constrained using galaxy cluster data. We also show how in the process of fitting the model which attempts to descr…
CMB Constraints on a Baryonic Dark Matter-Dominated Universe
Louise M Griffiths, Alessandro Melchiorri, Joseph Silk
In recent years, upper limits on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies combined with predictions made by theories of galaxy formation, have been extremely powerful in…
