Radio relics in a cosmological cluster merger simulation
Motivated by the discovery of a number of radio relics we investigate the fate of fossil radio plasma during a merger of clusters of galaxies using cosmological smoothedparticle hydrodynamics simulations. Radio relics are extended, steep-spectrum radio sources that do not seem to be associated with a host galaxy. One proposed scenario whereby these relics form is through the compression of foss...
متن کاملCosmological bounds on masses of neutrinos and other thermal relics
With the advent of precision data, cosmology has become an extremely powerful tool for probing particle physics. The prime example of this is the cosmological bound on light neutrino masses. Here I review the current status of cosmological neutrino mass bounds as well as the various uncertainties involved in deriving them. From WMAP, SDSS, and Lyman-α forest data an upper bound on the sum of ne...
متن کاملCurrent cosmological bounds on neutrino masses and relativistic relics
We combine the most recent observations of large-scale structure (2dF and SDSS galaxy surveys) and cosmic microwave anisotropies (WMAP and ACBAR) to put constraints on flat cosmological models where the number of massive neutrinos and of massless relativistic relics are both left arbitrary. We discuss the impact of each dataset and of various priors on our bounds. For the standard case of three...
متن کاملOn certain cosmological relics of the early string dynamics
The tracing of cosmological relics from the early string dynamics may enhance the theory and provide new perspectives on the major cosmological problems. This point is illustrated in a leading-order Bianchi-type V II0 string background, wherein spatial isotropy can be claimed as such a relic, albeit a gross one. A much finer relic, descending from a premordial gravitational wave, could be retri...
متن کاملUltra High Energy Cosmic Rays from Cosmological Relics
The current status of origin of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) is reviewed, with emphasis given to elementary particle solutions to UHECR problem, namely to Topological Defects and Super-Heavy Dark Matter (SHDM) particles. The relic superheavy particles are very efficiently produced at inflation. Being protected by gauge discrete symmetries, they can be long lived. They are clustering in...
