Abstract

We present an analysis of the orbital properties in 9 intermediate-redshifts cluster of the CNOC1 survey and we compare them to a control sample of 12 nearby clusters. Similar to the nearby elliptical galaxies, the bulge-dominated galaxies in clusters at redshifts ~0.1-0.4 present orbits that are more eccentric than those for disk-dominated galaxies. However, the orbital segregation is less significant than that found for elliptical and spiral galaxies in nearby cluster. When galaxies are separated by colors - red galaxies with colors in the rest frame (U-V)_o > 1.4, and blue galaxies with (U-V)_o =< 1.4 - the strongest orbital segregation is found. Therefore, the segregation we found seems to modify more efficiently the star formation activity than the internal shape of the galaxies. When we compare the orbits of early-type galaxies at intermediate-redshift with those for z=0, they seem to develop significant changes getting much more eccentric. A different behavior is observed in the late-type galaxies, which present no-significant evolution in their orbit shapes.

A Cyclical Baryonic Big Bang Explains the Universe

Our universe has multiple examples of unexplained gravitational losses in black holes and neutron stars. The smallest black holes of about 4 solar masses means the maximum baryon density ρ\approx 10^{17} grams/cm^3. Any collapse of the universe will stop with a scale factor \approx 10^{13} cm. and radiation energy \approx 10 GeV. Due to higher squeezed core baryons, the outer part of the mass transferred energy to the core and became dark matter. After contraction reduced particle motion and gravitation, the core radiation energy propelled pieces of the shell into the universe. Each of these masses captured hot core gases according to its gravitational size, forming proto-galaxies. A cold shell and a hot core explain the Planck spectrum and large galaxy formation in the early universe. Thus the universe was never radiation dominant.The universe will remain cyclical as any increase in entropy of matter will be crushed back to neutrons during the contraction phase.

A survey of debris trails from short-period comets

We observed 34 comets using the 24 micron camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Each image contains the nucleus and covers at least 10^6 km of each comet's orbit. Debris trails due to mm-sized or larger particles were found along the orbits of 27 comets; 4 comets had small-particle dust tails and a viewing geometry that made debris trails impossible to distinguish; and only 3 had no debris trail despite favorable observing conditions. There are now 30 Jupiter-family comets with known debris trails, of which 22 are reported in this paper for the first time. The detection rate is >80%, indicating that debris trails are a generic feature of short-period comets. By comparison to orbital calculations for particles of a range of sizes ejected over 2 yr prior to observation, we find that particles comprising 4 debris trails are typically mm-sized while the remainder of the debris trails require particles larger than this. The lower-limit masses of the debris trails are typically 10^11 g, and the median mass loss rate is 2 kg/s. The mass-loss rate in trail particles is comparable to that inferred from OH production rates and larger than that inferred from visible-light scattering in comae.

Deformation procedure for scalar fields in cosmology

This work offers an extension of the deformation procedure introduced in field theory to the case of standard cosmology in the presence of real scalar field in flat space-time. The procedure is shown to work for many models, which give rise to several different cosmic scenarios, evolving under the presence of first-order differential equations which solve the corresponding equations of motion very appropriately.
