Rutgers Physics | Astro Group
The Astrophysics Journal Club is held on Thursdays from 12:00
to 1:00 pm in Serin Physics Room 112 for the Fall 2006 semester.
Here is a short list of very recent papers off astroph. I've tried to select papers both of interest and appropriate length. Feel free to use them if you like with the caveat that neither may be true. Email me (fadely [at] physics) if you have some to suggest!
-Gemini and Hubble Space Telescope Evidence for an Intermediate Mass Black Hole in omega Centauri. Noyola et al. 2008
arXiv:0801.2782
Good tie-in to last semester's IMBH paper.
-The Abell Cluster A586 and the Detection of the Equivalence Principle. Bertolami et al. 2007
arXiv:0705.3118
Violation of equilvalence?? Coupling of DM and DE. Search ads and astroph for simliar papers (some have extra plots)...
-Diffusive Shock Acceleration in Radiation Dominated Environments. Vanonni et al. 2008
arXiv:0803.1138
TeV cosmic ray acceleration
-On the influence of ram-pressure stripping on the star formation of simulated spiral galaxies. Kronberger et al. 2008
I seem to have lost the reference, please search ADS
-A generalisation of the mass-sheet degeneracy producing ring-like artefacts in the lens mass distribution. Liesenborgs et al. 2008
arXiv:0801.4255
Interesting, but maybe only for lensing nerds.
-Primordial black holes and the observed Galactic 511 keV line. Bambi et al. 2008
arXiv:0801.2786
Sounds like a really good paper.
-A Correlation between Blue Straggler and Binary Fractions in the core of Galactic Globular Clusters. Sollima et al. 2008.
arXiv:0801.4511
-XMM-Newton observations of 4 luminous radio-quiet AGN, and the soft X-ray excess problem. D'Ammando et al. 2008.
arXiv:0801.4685
This type of topic is not discussed much in JC. Could be a good change.
-Dynamical Friction in Modified Newtonian Dynamics. Nipoti et al. 2008.
arXiv:0802.1122
-On the relation between radial alignment of dark matter subhalos and host mass in cosmological simulations. Knebe et al. 2008
arXiv:0802.1917
-Discovery of a Very Bright Strongly-Lensed Galaxy Candidate at z ~ 7.6. Bradley et al. 2008.
arXiv:0802.2506
-Evidence that solar flares drive global oscillations in the Sun. Karoff & Kjeldsen 2008.
arXiv:0803.3137
-Constraining primordial magnetic fields with CMB polarization experiments. Kristiansen & Ferreira 2008.
arXiv:0803.3210
-SN 2005 gj: Evidence for LBV supernovae progenitors? Trundle et al. 2008
arXiv:0804.2392
-Survivabilty of a star cluster in a dispersing molecular cloud. Chen & Ko 2008.
arXiv:0804.2734
-Clearing the Dust from Globular Clusters. Umbreit et al. 2008
arXiv:0804.2358
-The puzzling origin of the 6Li plateau. Evoli et al. 2008
arXiv:0806.4256

arXiv:0807.2060
-Strong magnetic fields in normal galaxies at high redshifts. Bernet et al. 2008
