Observational Signatures of the First Quasars
We study the observational signatures of a potential population of low-luminosity quasars at high redshifts in a ΛCDM cosmology. We derive the evolution of the quasar luminosity function at fainter luminosities and higher redshifts than currently detected, based on three assumptions: (1) the formation of dark–matter halos follows the Press–Schechter theory, (2) the ratio of central black hole m...
متن کاملObservational signatures of the theories beyond Horndeski
In the approach of the effective field theory of modified gravity, we derive the equations of motion for linear perturbations in the presence of a barotropic perfect fluid on the flat isotropic cosmological background. In a simple version of Gleyzes-Langlois-Piazza-Vernizzi (GLPV) theories, which is the minimum extension of Horndeski theories, we show that a slight deviation of the tensor propa...
متن کاملObservational signatures of helical galactic magnetic fields
We investigate the possibility of reproducing the observed polarization and Faraday rotation properties of spiral galaxies assuming their disks to be filled with regular helical magnetic fields. Both small-scale (< 1 kpc) flux tubes predicted by local hydrodynamicmodels and global, galaxy-scale (several kpc) fields generated by the dynamoprocess are considered. The large-scale fields are found ...
متن کاملObservational Signatures of the First Stars
At present, there are several feasible observational probes of the first stars in the universe. Here, we examine the constraints on early stellar activity from the metallicity of the high-redshift Ly-α clouds, from the effects of stellar ionizing photons on reionization and the cosmic microwave background (CMB), and from the implications of gravitational microlensing results for the presence of...
متن کاملThe clash of civilizations?
World politics is entering a new phase in which the great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. Civilizations, the highest cultural groupings of people, are differentiated from each other by religion, history, language, and tradition. These divisions are deep and increasing in importance. From Yugoslavia to the Middle East to Central Asia, the fault l...
