The CLEF-SSH simulation project
A. C. da Silva, S. T. Kay, N. Aghanim +5
The CLEF-SSH simulation project is an international collaboration, involving the IAS, LATT and the University of Sussex, to produce large hydrodynamic simulations of large-scale st…
The Cosmological Parameters
Ofer Lahav, Andrew R Liddle
This is a new review article for The Review of Particle Physics 2004 (aka the Particle Data Book). It forms a compact review of knowledge of the cosmological parameters as at the e…
XMM Cluster Survey: X-ray source identification using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Kate R. Land, Robert C. Nichol, Michael Davidson +8
[ABRIDGED] The XMM Cluster Survey (XCS) is predicted to detect thousands of clusters observed serendipitously in XMM-Newton pointings. We investigate automating optical follow-up o…
Inflationary Cosmology: Status and Prospects
Andrew R Liddle
This article gives a brief overview of the status of attempts to constrain inflation using observations, and examines prospects for future developments.
A Serendipitous Galaxy Cluster Survey with XMM: Expected Catalogue Properties and Scientific Applications
A. Kathy Romer, Pedro T. P. Viana, Andrew R. Liddle +1
This paper describes a serendipitous galaxy cluster survey that we plan to conduct with the XMM X-ray satellite. We have modeled the expected properties of such a survey for three…
Observational tests of inflation
Andrew R Liddle
We are on the verge of the first precision testing of the inflationary cosmology as a model for the origin of structure in the Universe. I review the key predictions of inflation w…
