Climatic and Biogeochemical Effects of a Galactic Gamma-Ray Burst
Adrian L. Melott, Brian C. Thomas, Daniel P. Hogan +2
It is likely that one or more gamma-ray bursts within our galaxy have strongly irradiated the Earth in the last Gy. This produces significant atmospheric ionization and dissociatio…
Ozone Abundance in a Nitrogen-Carbon Dioxide Dominated Terrestrial Paleoatmosphere
B. C. Thomas, A. L. Melott, L. D. Martin +1
We compute the ozone distribution for a model terrestrial paleoatmosphere in which the present oxygen abundance is largely replaced by carbon dioxide, which we argue is a reasonabl…
Optimal Moments for Velocity Fields Analysis
Hume A Feldman, Richard Watkins, Adrian Melott +1
We describe a new method of overcoming problems inherent in peculiar velocity surveys by using data compression as a filter with which to separate large-scale, linear flows from sm…
Limits on thermal conduction in galaxy clusters
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Adrian L. Melott, Chris Miller +1
We have calculated lower limits for the global effective thermal conductivity in a sample of 165 Abell clusters. We assumed that cluster X-ray luminosity is compensated by a conduc…
Wavelength Doesn't Matter: Optical vs. X-ray Luminosities of Galaxy Clusters
Christopher J. Miller, Adrian L. Melott, Robert C. Nichol
We examine the relationship between the total X-ray and optical luminosities of groups and clusters of galaxies taken from various samples in the literature. The clusters and group…
Redshift Surveys and the Value of Omega
Hume A. Feldman, Adrian L. Melott
We compare the statistical properties of structures normal and transverse to the line of sight which appear in observational data from redshift surveys. We present a statistic whic…
