Observing the Evolution of the Universe
James Aguirre, Alexandre Amblard, Amjad Ashoorioon +172
How did the universe evolve? The fine angular scale (l>1000) temperature and polarization anisotropies in the CMB are a Rosetta stone for understanding the evolution of the univers…
The Origin of the Universe as Revealed Through the Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background
S. Dodelson, R. Easther, S. Hanany +61
Modern cosmology has sharpened questions posed for millennia about the origin of our cosmic habitat. The age-old questions have been transformed into two pressing issues primed for…
Dwarf Galaxies in 2010: Revealing Galaxy Formation's Threshold and Testing the Nature of Dark Matter
James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat, Andrew Fruchter +4
Over the past five years, searches in Sloan Digital Sky Survey data have more than doubled the number of known dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, and have revealed a popula…
Strong gravitational lensing probes of the particle nature of dark matter
Leonidas A. Moustakas, Kevork Abazajian, Andrew Benson +44
There is a vast menagerie of plausible candidates for the constituents of dark matter, both within and beyond extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Each of these ca…
The Role of Dwarf Galaxies in Building Large Stellar Halos
Evan N. Kirby, Puragra Guhathakurta, James S. Bullock +10
The hierarchical theory of galaxy formation rests on the idea that smaller galactic structures merge to form the galaxies that we see today. The past decade has provided remarkable…
Indirect Dark Matter Detection from Dwarf Satellites: Joint Expectations from Astrophysics and Supersymmetry
Gregory D. Martinez, James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat +2
We present a general methodology for determining the gamma-ray flux from annihilation of dark matter particles in Milky Way satellite galaxies, focusing on two promising satellites…
