finding a room + computer projector for 16:00 piatek @instytut fizyki
by Boud Roukema 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi Piotr (Peplowski), Who should i contact to make a regular room + computer projector reservation for a wyklad monograficzny lecture? We need to shift from Piwnice because of my linux courses - the monograph students agreed to the shift, and our guess is that friday afternoon should not be difficult for finding a room at I.Fizyki. What is needed: * room (small is OK, max 10 people) * computer projector * when: each Friday (piatek) 16:00-18:00 * topic: Shape of the Universe - wyklad monograficzny * someone who can confirm to us that this is OK Sorry that this request is at the "last minute"... pozdr boud

by Boud Roukema 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Cześć wszystkim, Po rozmowę z kilka doktorantami, wybieraliśmy piątek o 16.00g jako dzień/godzina dla wykłada monograficznego ,,Kształt Wszechświata" tym semestr. Piątek 27.10.2006r. będzie w KRA (chyba potem będzie w IFizyki). Wszysce interesowane, proszę się zapisywać na shape-univ: http://cosmo.torun.pl/mailman/listinfo/shape-univ i może też się rejestrować na twiki: http://cosmo.torun.pl/Cosmo/MonographCosmo i przypominać co już znasz (czy nie znasz) o kosmologii. Jak zwykle, nadzieje jest, aby część wykład będzie pracę na prawdziwę badanie. pozdr boud

CMB/WMAP constraints on alpha
by blew 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

Witam, So, getting back to alpha, there is a nice paper with a nice intrduction with summary on fine structure constant evolution from variety of experiments (see refs.) and using WMAP 1st yr data they constrain alpha by it's impact on recombination rate and hence power spectrum here it is: http://arxiv.org/ps/astro-ph/0602577 pozdr.

Hello Agnieszka, shape-univ Maybe it's a bit off tipic of the list but here is a nice review paper on DM if you're interested. http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0605719 Comments: Not yet externally reviewed - not for quotation A study of the current status of WIMP dark matter searches has been made in the context of scientific and technical planning for a Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) in the U.S. The table of contents follows: 1. Overview 2. WIMP Dark Matter: Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Particle Physics 3. Direct Detection of WIMPs 4. Indirect Detection of WIMPs 5. Dark Matter Candidates and New Physics in the Laboratory 6.

INTEGRAL/SPI: first 511keV-photograph of dark matter halo?
by Boud Roukema 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

witam Kn\"odlseder et al. (2005) seems to be the main "discovery" article of the INTEGRAL/SPI results. It has some very nice pictures - especially Figs 4, 5 and 7 - here i've put the closed links, but the figures are in the astro-ph versions too, of course: Fig 4 http://www.edpsciences.org/articles/aa/full/2005/38/aa2063-04/img62.gif Fig 5 http://www.edpsciences.org/articles/aa/full/2005/38/aa2063-04/img63.gif Fig 7 http://www.edpsciences.org/articles/aa/full/2005/38/aa2063-04/img108.gif We may soon be able to say that Fig.~4 was the "first picture of invisible matter" ;). Ascasibar et al 2005 has some very interesting conclusions - apart from the continued validity of LDM as only (so far) viable explanation, they say: > One consequence is that the value of the fine structure constant \alpha > should differ from that recommended in the CODATA (Committee on Data > for Science and Technology). This is a very strong test for the LDM > scenario and an additional motivation in favour of experiments > measuring \alpha directly. Our results finally indicate that an accurate > measurement of the shape of the dark halo profile could have a > tremendous impact on the determination of the origin of the 511-keV > line and vice versa. Both of these are very good for showing that evidence should build up either for or against the LDM hypothesis. :) pozdr boud Kn\"odlseder et al.

They deal with tests od SI violation and what are possible sources of such violation - eg. nonuniform sky noice. This is of particular interest to me recently since, I was calculating the variance (related to power spectrum amplidute) in separate region on the sky of WMAP and clearly I see nonuniform pattern of even with small scale signal removed. So I don;t quite understand that no strong IS violation was found, unless they mean the primordial SI is not viiolated after accounting for non-uniform noice in the map. BTW. they calculate Bipolar power spectrum, NOT bispectrum IMHO. and where is it about gaussianity ? are you talking about astro-ph/0501001 ? well maybye a bit but they sure don't test it. > > But they don't model the *expected* signature of the PDS (poincare dodecahedral > space) in 0501001. > > In Hajian & Souradeep (2003), they model the expected signature from various > specific versions of the T^3 model: > http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0301590 again, this is not about the bispectrum. In any case with BiPS it's not possible to detect NG (non-Gaussainity), now is it ? it's on;y a measure of SI. I guess what I've jsut said above about their lack of detection is correct in light of what they say in conclusions of this paper. The question is whether it will ever be possible give such an answer. Meaning that is we knew what comes from noice, then why simply not to remove if from the map and then make a SI tests. If this is not possible then all that will be possible is to give comments like "it remains unprooved that the SI violation is of primordial origin". especially when there is not spectral dependence. However, in 0501001 I guess that they filtered the maps before analysis strongly removing anything for l>100. At such large scales the nonuniform noice distribution shouldn't be important at all. This is probably why they didn't find any SI violation at these scales. > > i've only looked at this quickly, but it seems that they do not necessarily > expect a strong (or any non-zero) signal. > > In any case, back in 2003, there was little discussion of the PDS - the paper > is dated 11 Aug 2003, and the Luminet et al. paper came out around Oct 2003. > Hmmm... i guess at least, there was no pressure for them to study PDS. :P > > > So working out what bispectrum is expected from the PDS has (maybe) not been > done yet. well, this was only a loose thought. calculating bispectrum involves calculating alm compontnts first which involves technics that are generally as much CPU consuming as calculating bispectrum itself (because of the 3J symbols) - i'm not ready yet to do that with my soft :( > > Hmm: better check the Aurich, Lustig, Steiner and Gundermann papers - they > might have tried this. > > >> What I would need is to have a full fourier space of perturbations with >> topology encoded in it. > > The PDS is a positive curvature model: you can't do fourier analysis in curved that's true generally.

You need the full set of eigenmodes of the PDS itself. and that's more less what I've said. i need \Phi(kx,ky,kz) for PDS topology aren't these the eigen-modes in topology nomenclature ? > > Tarou-san has done lots of cosmic topology eigenmode modelling - if > you want to do something like this, you might want to visit him: > > Kaiki Taro Inoue > kinoue phys kindai ac jp > :) one of these days, one of these days :) > > Or maybe your idea is more like making simulations, then making > measurements of the bispectrum parameters, and then comparing them to > the analytical calculations in Hajian & Souradeep (2003)?

But seems to me that also A ans n_s and tensors are of very high competitive interest. I'm not yet sure which of these are better way of doing that, sure they are independent and NG will continoue to be sexy in cosmology for many years. :) BUT... since topo-stuff can also be a source of NG - which is primordial - so it surly is within my interest. pozdr.
