The velocity dispersion and mass-to-light ratio of the remote halo globular cluster NGC2419
Precise radial velocity measurements from high-resolution echelle spectrometer on the Keck I telescope are presented for 40 stars in the outer halo globular cluster NGC 2419. These data are used to probe the cluster’s stellar mass function and search for the presence of dark matter in this cluster. NGC 2419 is one of the best Galactic globular clusters for such a study due to its long relaxatio...
متن کاملCosmology using Cluster Internal Velocity Dispersions
We compare the cumulative distribution of internal velocity dispersions of galaxy clusters,N(> σv), for a large observational sample to those obtained from a set of N– body simulations that we run for seven COBE–normalized cosmological scenarios. They are: the standard CDM (SCDM) and a tilted (n = 0.85) CDM (TCDM) model, a cold+hot DM (CHDM) model with Ων = 0.25, two low–density flat CDM (ΛCDM)...
متن کاملThe velocity dispersion and mass function of the outer halo globular cluster Palomar 4
We obtained precise line-of-sight radial velocities of 23 member stars of the remote halo globular cluster Palomar 4 (Pal 4) using the High Resolution Echelle Spectrograph at the Keck I telescope. We also measured the mass function of the cluster down to a limiting magnitude of V ∼ 28 mag using archival Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) imaging. We derived the cluster...
متن کاملPlanck 2015 results - XXIV. Cosmology from Sunyaev-Zeldovich cluster counts
We present cluster counts and corresponding cosmological constraints from the Planck full mission data set. Our catalogue consists of 439 clusters detected via their Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal down to a signal-to-noise of six, and is more than a factor of two larger than the 2013 Planck cluster cosmology sample. The counts are consistent with those from 2013 and yield compatible constraints ...
متن کاملAn Alternative Cosmology
Recent discussions of observational constraints on the standard hot big bang model are reviewed and it is argued that now there is room for considering alternative cosmologies. The quasi-steady state cosmology is brieey described. This model seems to explain most of the observed features of the universe, including the m-z relation, radio source count, the light nuclear abundances and the microw...
