A Telescope Search for Decaying Relic Axions
Daniel Grin, Giovanni Covone, Jean-Paul Kneib +3
A search for optical line emission from the two-photon decay of relic axions was conducted in the galaxy clusters Abell 2667 and 2390, using spectra from the VIMOS (Visible Multi-O…
Solar System tests DO rule out 1/R gravity
Adrienne L. Erickcek, Tristan L. Smith, Marc Kamionkowski
Shortly after the addition of a 1/R term to the Einstein-Hilbert action was proposed as a solution to the cosmic-acceleration puzzle, Chiba showed that such a theory violates Solar…
Search with EGRET for a Gamma Ray Line from the Galactic Center
Anthony R. Pullen, Ranga-Ram Chary, Marc Kamionkowski
We search data from the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) for a gamma-ray line in the energy range 0.1-10 GeV from the 10 X 10 degree region around the Galactic cent…
Report of the Dark Energy Task Force
Andreas Albrecht, Gary Bernstein, Robert Cahn +10
Dark energy appears to be the dominant component of the physical Universe, yet there is no persuasive theoretical explanation for its existence or magnitude. The acceleration of th…
Tidal Tails Test the Equivalence Principle in the Dark Sector
Michael Kesden, Marc Kamionkowski
Satellite galaxies currently undergoing tidal disruption offer a unique opportunity to constrain an effective violation of the equivalence principle in the dark sector. Theories in…
Cosmological bounds on dark matter-neutrino interactions
Gianpiero Mangano, Alessandro Melchiorri, Paolo Serra +2
We investigate the cosmological effects of a neutrino interaction with cold dark matter. We postulate a neutrino that interacts with a ``neutrino interacting dark matter'' (NIDM) p…
