Constraints on supernovae dimming from photon-pseudo scalar coupling
An alternative mechanism that dims high redshift supernovae without cosmic acceleration utilizes an oscillation of photons into a pseudo-scalar particle during transit. Since angular diameter distance measures are immune to the loss of photons, this ambiguity in interpretation can be resolved by combining CMB acoustic peak measurements with the recent baryon oscillation detection in galaxy powe...
متن کاملDimming supernovae without cosmic acceleration.
We present a simple model where photons propagating in extragalactic magnetic fields can oscillate into very light axions. The oscillations may convert some of the photons, departing a distant supernova, into axions, making the supernova appear dimmer and hence more distant than it really is. Averaging over different configurations of the magnetic field we find that the dimming saturates at abo...
متن کاملConstraints on light dark matter from core-collapse supernovae.
We show that light (approximately or = 1-30 MeV) dark matter particles can play a significant role in core-collapse supernovae, if they have relatively large annihilation and scattering cross sections, as compared to neutrinos. We find that if such particles are lighter than approximately or = 10 MeV and reproduce the observed dark matter relic density, supernovae would cool on a much longer ti...
متن کاملConstraints on Neutrino Mixing from r-process Nucleosynthesis in Supernovae
In this paper we note that for neutrino mass squared differences in the range 10−4−10−1eV 2, vacuum neutrino oscillations can take place between the neutrinosphere and the weak freeze-out radius in a type II supernova. Requiring that such oscillations are consistent with the r-process nucleosynthesis from supernovae one can constrain the mixing of νe with νμ ( or ντ ) down to 10 −4 eV 2. We fir...
متن کاملConstraints on Extended Quintessence from High - Redshift Supernovae
We obtain constraints on quintessence models from magnitude-redshift measurements of 172 type Ia Supernovae. The considered quintessence models are ordinary quintessence, with Ratra-Peebles and SUGRA potentials, and extended quintessence with a Ratra-Peebles potential. We compute confidence regions in the Ωm0 −α plane and find that for SUGRA potentials it is not possible to obtain useful constr...
