Charges on Strange Quark Nuggets in Space
E. S. Abers, A. K. Bhatia, D. A. Dicus +3
Since Witten's seminal 1984 paper on the subject, searches for evidence of strange quark nuggets (SQNs) have proven unsuccessful. In the absence of experimental evidence ruling out…
Comments on an alternative theory for the accelerating universe
Duane A. Dicus, Wayne W. Repko
We utilize the recently released supernova data of Riess {\it et al.} on the acceleration of the universe to determine how the parameters of a particular modification of gravity, t…
Modeling dark energy with a top-down approach
Duane A. Dicus, Wayne W. Repko
We investigate a top-down approach for modeling the dark energy where we fit the luminosity distances directly rather than indirectly fitting the equation of state.
Comment on "Damping of Tensor Modes in Cosmology"
Duane A. Dicus, Wayne W. Repko
We provide an analytic solution to the short wave length limit of the integro-differential equation describing the damping of the tensor modes of gravitational waves.
Constraints on the dark energy equation of state from recent supernova data
Duane A. Dicus, Wayne W. Repko
Measurements suggest that our universe has a substantial dark energy component. The most recent data on type Ia supernovae give a dark energy density which is in good agreement wit…
