bazanski - soft@ mailing list

Dear Bazański, You have requested to join a private email list ("soft") for a cosmology computer at the TCfA, UMK, for discussing system admin. My guess is this is probably an error - you are most welcome to join any of our lists for discussing cosmology - it would be nice to introduce yourself briefly on cosmo-torun, just for us to get to know each other. My guess from your email address is that you're in physics at UW. :) Probably cosmo-torun and shape-univ are most used right now: http://www.astro.uni.torun.pl/sympa/ regards boud

A&A impact factor: the danger of productivist ideology
by Boud Roukema 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0403184 Authors: Aa. Sandqvist (Stockholm Observatory, AlbaNova, Stockholm, Sweden) Comments: 4 pages, to be published in A. Heck (ed.) "Organizations and Strategies in Astronomy, Vol. 5" (Kluwer, 2004) There is a widespread impression that the scientific journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics" (A&A) has a smaller impact, as measured by citations to articles, than some of the other major astronomy journals. This impression was apparently supported - and probably created - by the Journal Citation Report (JCR), which is prepared annually by the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Knowledge. The published poor impact factor of A&A was in fact wrong and was due to a serious flaw in the method used by ISI Web of Knowledge to determine it. The resulting damage inflicted upon A&A by the JCR is incalculable.

mirror matter + DAMA/NaI => CDM solved ?
by Boud Roukema 08 Mar '04

08 Mar '04

http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0403043 Exploring the mirror matter interpretation of the DAMA experiment: Has the dark matter problem been solved? Authors: R.Foot Comments: About 10 pages The self consistency between the impressive DAMA annual modulation signal and the measured recoil energy spectrum is identified as an important test for dark matter candidates. Mirror matter-type dark matter passes this test while other dark matter candidates, including standard WIMPs and mini-electric charged particle dark matter, fail. We argue that the unique properties of mirror matter-type dark matter seem to be just those required to fully explain the data, suggesting that the dark matter problem has finally been solved.

CMB energy
by Jarek Rzepecki 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi all, CMB photons are red-shifted due to Universe expansion -> this means that the whole CMB energy gets smaller... where does it go? pozdrawiam Jarek

poprawienie do listy uczestnikow ,,Wszechswiat: globalisci vs antyglobalisci"
by Boud Roukema 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Witam, Jak rozumiem, nasze propozycja dla dyskusji panelowej o temat kosmologii byli akceptowany dla Festiwału Nauki: http://adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/FestiwalNauki2004 Proszę do mąlego poprawki: Pisaliśmy że Michał Frąckowiak chce uczestniczyć, ale prawdziwie on nie chce uczestniczyć. Proszę usunuj swoj nazwa od listy uczestników na baz danych Festiwału. Pozdrawiam serdecznie Boud Roukema (Centrum Astronomii UMK)

festiwal nauki
by Boud Roukema 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

hi - i updated the Festiwal Nauki page: http://adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/FestiwalNauki2004 Please correct, update, modify... i guess it's now obvious why there was silly bureaucracy - there's money (150 zl) paid to official speakers (and if i understood the small print, "students" cannot be paid, though doktoranci are OK) - this is not a "grassroots" festival by scientists... Missing info: how much time do we have? One hour? Two hours? And is this time schedule definitely fixed? Staszek Krawczyk and A Strobel seem to be the official contacts so i'm cc-ing them here. boud

Cosmo parameters according to VSA
by Andrzej Marecki 20 Feb '04

20 Feb '04

Paper: astro-ph/0402466 Title: Cosmological parameter estimation using Very Small Array data out to l=1500 Authors: Rafael Rebolo, Richard A. Battye, Pedro Carreira, Kieran Cleary, et al. We estimate cosmological parameters using data obtained by the Very Small Array (VSA) in its extended configuration, in conjunction with a variety of other CMB data and external priors. Within the flat $\Lambda$CDM model, we find that the inclusion of high resolution data from the VSA modifies the limits on the cosmological parameters as compared to those suggested by WMAP alone, while still remaining compatible with their estimates.

Re: wewnetrzny grant UMK

hi everyone, Attached are two equivalent copies of the draft application (pdf to help a certain person who uses micro$oft ;) Any substantial comments, criticisms? (Or trivial ones?) Given that it's for pedagogical purposes, i haven't put anything about a specific "research project". i put my title as "dr" since i presume i don't officially have "hab" until the central committee confirms it. i can expect the bureaucrats may complain that the format is slightly changed, but that's their fault for using micro$oft. They're here to support us, we're not here to work for them doing trivia. pozd boud
