Statistics in Astrophysics and Cosmology: Phystat05
نویسنده
چکیده
In this conference summary on Astrophysics talks at PhyStat05, I will discuss the various philosophical and pragmatic approaches to problems of statistics in astrophysics (and cosmology in particular), and their application to a few modern problems discussed at this meeting. In particular, I will develop a Bayesian formalism for the analysis of data from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments.

متن کاملThe Crisis Confronting Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
This manuscript is the written version of the material I attempted to cover at “Critical Dialogues in Cosmology”. My position is that although BBN is inevitable in an expanding universe filled with radiation and baryons, at present there is a conflict between the abundances of the light nuclides predicted by standard, big bang nucleosynthesis (SBBN) and those inferred from current observational...

A brief review of neutrino anomalies in particle physics and of the role played by neutrinos in cosmology and astrophysics is presented. The main part of the talk is dedicated to the impact of neutrinos and in particular of neutrino oscillations on BBN and to a possible spatial variation of primordial abundances.
