One scenario is with a "light [non-heavy] component" of dark matter.

Michał, Jarek - how is 10:30?

Motyl: i think the reason for starting at 09.00g was so that after the
discussion, there is still a lot of time left in the day to do work,
otherwise for people from CAMK, it's like half the day has already finished.

Personally, later is fine by me :), but it's more interesting if more
people come along, so better earlier for them.

Maybe 10:00g?

Hi!

I think I will pass this one. Really a lot of things on my head. Jarek 
is "out" and I am not sure when he is coming back.

all best!

Well, I can't get what's wrong with it. BTW, you _haven't_ corrected it at

OK, in that case no need for a morning meeting :).
How about a time which is also suitable for Magda C (Fri morning is not)?
e.g. Friday 14:00?

My guess is people most likely to attend are:
bartek/andrzej/boud/motyl/ magda k/magda c ?

magda: piątek 14g może być?

OK, so I presume you _have_ submitted the corrected version to A&A.

Now a question: and how about astro-ph? In particular, how about...
changing the comment there to a neutral one like: "13 pages, 18 figures, A&A
accepted"? Our apologies surely _have_ been read by the people interested in
receiving them and - IMVHO - there is hardly any need to keep them posted
any longer. What do you, gals and guys, think?

Hmmm. It's true that we didn't say for what period we would have the
comment up there, and it has been there for two months, and even after
modifying it (v3), it will remain available in the future.

IMHO we should probably give this 7 days' time limit.

######################################################################
PROPOSAL: We will update the contents of the astro-ph version to be
the exact version finally accepted (well, probably it will be formally
accepted by Mon 31 May) and make the comment:

"13 pages, 18 figures, matches A&A accepted version"

DEADLINE for comments (or possibly veto): Mon 31 May 13.00g

Witam,

Annihilating dark matter from TeV photons
from Whipple + CANGAROO-II ?

Or is it just from 3EG J1746-2851 (EGRET source)?

This is from a much smaller length scale around the GC - a few tens
of parsecs, *not* 1 kpc - compared to what seem to be the INTEGRAL
results.

Number 685 May 12, 2004  by Phillip F. Schewe, Ben Stein
	
OUR UNIVERSE HAS A TOPOLOGY SCALE OF AT LEAST 24 Gpc, or about 75
billion light years, according to a new analysis of data from the
Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP).  What does this mean?
Well, because of conceivable hall-of-mirrors effects of spacetime,
the universe might be finite in size but give us mortals the
illusion that it is infinite.  For example, the cosmos might be
tiled with some repeating shape, around which light rays might wrap
themselves over and over ("wrap" in the sense that, as in video
games, something might disappear off the left side of the screen and
reappear on the right side).   A new study by scientists from
Princeton, Montana State, and Case Western looks for signs of such
"wrapped " light in the form of pairs of circles, in opposite
directions in the sky, with similar patterns in the temperature of
the cosmic microwave background.  If the universe were finite and
actually smaller than the distance to the "surface of last
scattering" (a distance that essentially constitutes the edge of the
"visible universe," and the place in deep space whence comes the
cosmic microwaves), then multiple imaging should show up in the
microwave background.  But no such correspondences appeared in the
analysis.  The researchers are able to turn the lack of recurring
patterns into the form of a lower limit on the scale of cosmic
topology, equal to 24 billion parsecs, a factor of 10 larger than
previous observational bounds.  (Cornish, Spergel, Starkman,

> Hi, our topology paper has now been formally accepted by A&A. :)

Also, as we all recall, the following proposal was announced on 24th May:

=======
PROPOSAL: We will update the contents of the astro-ph version to be   
the exact version finally accepted (well, probably it will be formally
accepted by Mon 31 May) and make the comment:

"13 pages, 18 figures, matches A&A accepted version"

DEADLINE for comments (or possibly veto): Mon 31 May 13.00g
=======

So... No vetos? If not, let's update astro-ph/04020608 tonight.

i just checked our status page with A&A:

25/02/2004  pre-registration
26/02/2004  submission being registered
27/02/2004  searching for a referee
03/05/2004  searching for a referee
05/05/2004  sent to referee 1

So it took two months to find a referee! And the referee has now had
just one week to look at the paper.

Witam

:))

i think we should have no problem with these minor corrections. :))

The only question is whether or not to make changes based on the further
tests made since we submitted the paper.

Regarding the further tests which i started making, remember that in our
paper we have:

> However, the plots are striking and it seems prudent to release

> with formal statistical analyses.

So IMHO it is clear that we intend to publish a companion paper which
goes into more detail in statistical tests, and there's no need to
make things difficult for ourselves (and slow down publication) by
adding more significant material now.

How about a cafeplus this Friday to talk more on this + also about
Bartek's jet idea? (not electronically public ;)  Plus also whatever
else cosmo/extragalactic related.

revised version (with all the minor requests done) attached.

i propose the Friday meeting as a decision deadline on the minor
corrections. If noone objects by then, then this modified version will
be submitted.

Would you consider to start cafe+ a little bit later?? Let say 10:30??
It is very hard to wake up early and get here by bike at this time..:(
