Witam, Jacques Delabrouille is likely to come to TCfA for a visit of a few days sometime during the next few months. He's a CMB cosmologist from Paris (College de France). You can see the CMB stuff he does here: http://de.arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/delabrouille/0/1/0/all/3/0 You can email him directly at delabrouille at cdf.in2p3.fr pozdr boud

This prior submission must take precedence over The reason we did not cite that paper is that Gorski et al's new paper (astro-ph/0409513) was consequent, not precedent, to our paper, and covered essentially the same material. We sent our paper to those authors on 8 September 2004 proposing co-authorship. 8 September 2004 is precedent to 21 September 2004. > yours, and I regret that we must therefore reject your paper for > publication in Monthly Notices.

On 8 September, we invited Gorski et al. to be coauthors of our paper. You can verify this either on the public archives of our mailing list: http://cosmo.torun.pl/pipermail/cosmo-torun/2004-September/000254.html or by asking any of the subscribers to the mailing list: [Note: replace " at " by "@" - this is anti-spam-robot protection throughout this email.] * amr at astro.uni.torun.pl * bartosz.lew at astri.uni.torun.pl * boud at astro.uni.torun.pl * jarekr at ncac.torun.pl * magda at astro.uni.torun.pl * mhanasz at astri.uni.torun.pl * michalf at ncac.torun.pl * motylek at astro.uni.torun.pl * ssober at phys.uni.torun.pl * tavi at astro.uni.torun.pl * tkato at kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp * xlenka at poczta.fm or the HEALPix authors: * Krzysztof Gorski <Krzysztof.M.Gorski at jpl.nasa.gov>, * Eric Hivon <efh at ipac.caltech.edu>, * Frode Hansen <Frode.Hansen at roma2.infn.it>, *"Benjamin D. Wandelt" <bwandelt at uiuc.edu> to check their email archive from 8 September 2004. While not many of the people listed here are necessarily "neutral", the nature of the date and content of the email sent on 8 September 2004 consitute an easily falsifiable claim (in the sense of Karl Popper). Below you will find the email including full header information, but the most relevant part of the email is as follows: > Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 15:24:27 +0200 (CEST) > From: Boud Roukema <boud at astro.uni.torun.pl> > Reply-To: Boud Roukema <boud at astro.uni.torun.pl>, > Bartek Lew <blew at astro.uni.torun.pl>, cosmo-torun at astro.uni.torun.pl > To: Krzysztof Gorski <Krzysztof.M.Gorski at jpl.nasa.gov>, > Eric Hivon <efh at ipac.caltech.edu>, > Frode Hansen <Frode.Hansen at roma2.infn.it>, > "Benjamin D.

Frode Hansen <Frode.Hansen at roma2.infn.it> started a constructive discussion with us (which ended with his choosing not to be a co-author with us); he would probably be someone from "Gorski's group" willing to confirm the chronology here. On 22 September, we submitted our own article to Astronomy & Astrophysics, but Astronomy & Astrophysics was unwilling to consider the chronology we have mentioned and was unwilling to send the article to a neutral referee for peer review, which is why we only submitted to MNRAS several weeks later, hoping for a more objective response to our article which was precedent to Gorski et al's article. In our humble opinion, the most constructive solution would be to consider this to be simultaneous submission by two groups, with one group (us) openly and publicly offering cooperation to the other, which failed to respond and instead deliberately published a day before our proposed deadline. Maybe you could discuss this with Astrophysical Journal editors to find a constructive solution. It would be appreciated if you could consider the fully chronology here.

WMAP gossip
by Boud Roukema 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

witam, There's some very interesting WMAP gossip - e.g. why the 2nd year data have not been released yet, here: http://www.geometrygames.org/ESoS/CosmologyNews.html i say "gossip" (,,plotki" ?) because there are no links to astro-ph articles, conference proceedings, etc. (but a relevant article is: http://de.arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0403353) pozdr boud

jasna definicja: universe domain vs multiverse GFR Ellis et al
by Boud Roukema 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Witam, W odpowiedź do pytania o termina ,,cały wszechświat", przypominam jeden z bardzo rzadko artykuły (moim skromnym zdaniem), który jasnie mówi o różnica między dwomi pojęciami: (1) ,,wiele domen 'wszechświatowy' wewnątrz jednym przestrzeń ciągly" vs (2) ,,zbiór [ensemble] wiele wszechświatów, jak niezależnych przestrzeni" Chyba angielski będzie trudny dla wielych, ale lepiej czytać artykuł (en) który jest jasny (chociaż głęboki) zamiast artykuł z wielymi słowami dwuznacznymi. Jest Multiverses and physical cosmology Authors: G.F.R. Ellis, U. Kirchner, W.R. Stoeger http://de.arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0305292 i już jest (od dawno) na strony CosmoNews: http://adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/CosmoNews pozdr boud
