چکیده
Let us get away from Creation back to problems that we may possibly know something about. 1. INTRODUCTION To know something about the early Universe, one can either follow in the footsteps of Edwin Hubble and look back in time at the most distant galaxies, or one can follow in those of George Preston and search for the most metal-poor stars. suggested that the Milky Way System formed by the rapid dissipational collapse of a single protogalaxy. Faith in this paradigm was severely shaken by two papers

Small Hydro-Power Plants in Kenya: A Review of Status, Challenges and Future Prospects
Small Hydro-power Plants (SHP) are an important source of electricity in many countries. However, little is known about SHP in Kenya. This paper reviews the status, challenges in implementation of SHP and prospects for future development of SHP in Kenya. The paper shows that SHP has not yet fully utilized the available hydro-power potential. The challenges associated with SHP development should...
متن کاملKinematics of Tidal Debris from Omega Centauri’s Progenitor Galaxy
We present the kinematic properties of a tidally disrupted dwarf galaxy in the Milky Way, based on the hypothesis that its central part once contained the most massive Galactic globular cluster, ω Cen. Dynamical evolution of a selfgravitating progenitor galaxy that follows the present-day and likely past orbits of ω Cen is calculated numerically and the kinematic nature of their tidal debris is...
متن کاملOn the Kinematics of Tidal Debris from Omega Cen’s Progenitor Galaxy
The kinematic properties of tidal debris from an orbiting Galactic satellite is presented, on the assumption that its central part once contained the most massive Galactic globular cluster, ω Cen. We simulate dynamical evolution of a satellite galaxy that follows the present-day and likely past orbits of ω Cen and analyze the kinematic nature of their tidal debris and randomly generated Galacti...
متن کاملGamma Ray Astronomy and Baryonic Dark Matter
Recently, Dixon et al. (1998) have re-analyzed the EGRET data, finding a statistically significant diffuse γ-ray emission from the galactic halo. We show that this emission can naturally be explained within a previously-proposed model for baryonic dark matter, in which γ-rays are produced through the interaction of high-energy cosmic-ray protons with cold H2 clouds clumped into dark clusters th...
متن کاملWeak Gravitational Lensing: Current Status and Future Prospects
In this review I will describe progress that has been made in determining masses of galaxy clusters using ‘weak lensing’ and how this technique my be applied in the future to determine the dark matter distribution both on supercluster scales and on the scale of galaxy haloes.
