THE CONVENTIONAL THEORY OF DARK MATTER just got some potent support
from a new batch of observations to be reported by scientists from
the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) this week at a meeting in the
Canary Islands. One of the main reasons for believing in the
existence of non-luminous matter is that the motions of galaxies
within galaxy clusters and the motions of matter around individual
galaxies seems to defy conventional celestial mechanics. Either
plenty of extra (but unconventional) mass must lurk in the vicinity
of the galaxies (the dark matter theory) or the known laws of
physics might be in need of amendment (the theory known as modified
Newtonian dynamics, or MOND). Scrutinizing a subset of 3000
galaxies (from Sloan's inventory of 250,000 galaxies) with satellite
galaxies in tow, the researchers' profile of satellite velocities
supported the dark matter theory and discounted the MOND idea. (See
the Sloan website at www.sdss.org )

Szanowni Czytelnicy!
To jest oferta nowego czasopisma on-line. Do konca roku mamy dostep za
darmo ale od nowego roku zaproponuja oplate. Prosze przejrzec ta oferte i
zdecydowac czy warto sie tym zainteresowac. O ewentualnej prenumeracie

Subject: Free offer from Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (3/415)
We're delighted to introduce a major new electronic-only publication, the
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP). JCAP is published in
partnership between the Institute of Physics Publishing (IOP) and the
International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) and will follow a similar
trajectory to that of its sister journal Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP).
JCAP brings together cutting-edge research in all aspects of cosmology as well
as astrophysics and particle physics. The journals remit encompasses
theoretical, observational and experimental areas as well as computation and
simulation. The first papers appeared online in March 2003.
Access to the full text is free to all until the end of 2003. Beginning January
2004 a low annual subscription will be introduced for institutions. For more
information or to place your order, please visit http://ej.iop.org/pdf/jcap.pdf
to download an order form. JCAP will be included in Packs A, B and Z as well
as the new Package H for 2004. With this new addition there has never been a
better time to upgrade to an IOP journal package! Please contact your regional
representative for more information on how you can save money on your
subscriptions. A full list of representatives is available at
www.iop.org/EJ/enquiries or e-mail custserv(a)iop.org for more information.
We have also produced a colourful A3 poster to enable you to publicise this
exciting new journal to your end users and I am delighted to offer you a
complimentary copy for your institution. If you would like to receive a copy,
please reply to this email, indicating to whom the parcel should be addressed.
I look forward to hearing from you soon
Kind regards

Hope it's going to be truly low. ;)
Anyway, let's go for it!
