چکیده

We consider structure formation and cosmic microwave background (CMB) aniso-tropies in a closed universe, both with and without a cosmological constant. The CMB angular power spectrum and the matter transfer function are presented, along with a discussion of their relative normalization. This represents the rst full numerical evolution of density perturbations and anisotropies in a spherical geometry. We extend the likelihood function vs. from the COBE 2-year data to 1. For large the presence of a very steep rise in the spectrum towards lowàllows us to put an upper limit of 1:5 (95%CL) for primordial spectra with n 1. This compares favorably with existing limits on. We show that there are a range of closed models which are consistent with observational constraints while being even older than the currently popular at models with a cosmological constant. Future constraints from degree scale CMB data may soon probe this region of parameter space. A derivation of the perturbed Einstein, uid and Boltzmann equations for open and closed geometries is presented in an appendix.

Globular cluster populations of supergiant elliptical galaxies are known to vary widely, from extremely populous systems like that of UGC 9799, the centrally dominant galaxy in Abell 2052, to globular-cluster-poor galaxies such as NGC 5629 in Abell 2666. Here we propose that these variations point strongly to the existence of a population of globular clusters that are not bound to individual ga...

Most stars in our Galaxy with photospheric C/O > 1 (carbon stars) are not giants but dwarfs. The newly-recognized class of dwarf carbon stars joins the growing family of stars with peculiar abundances that are now recognized as products of mass-transfer binary (MTB) evolution. The dozen examples now known span a wide range of evolutionary histories, ages, and abundances. These stars can already...

A new model is presented which explains the origin of the broad emission lines observed in the LINER/Seyfert nucleus of M81 in terms of a steady state spherically symmetric inflow, amounting to ∼1 x 10 M⊙/yr, which is sufficient to explain the luminosity of the AGN. The emitting volume has an outer radius of ∼1 pc, making it the largest broad line region yet to be measured, and it contains a to...
