Mixed dark matter with neutrino chemical potentials
Mixed dark matter models with one low-mass (e.g. 2.4eV) neutrino flavor are shown to be in good agreement with observations if the neutrinos have non-zero chemical potentials. This agreement holds (except for the problem with a low-age Universe) even for high values of the Hubble-parameter. Massless neutrinos with non-...

Interstellar Grains in Elliptical Galaxies: Grain Evolution
We consider the lifecycle of dust introduced into the hot interstellar medium in isolated elliptical galaxies. Dust grains are ejected into galactic-scale cooling flows in large ellipticals by normal mass loss from evolving red giants. Newly introduced dust rapidly enters the hot gas environment and is sputtered away b...

Stellar evolution with mass loss - comparison of numerical and semi-analytical computations.
We present here results of stellar evolution calculations that include the latest advances in radiative opacities and neutrino cooling, and discuss on the basis of these models how the internal stellar structure responds to mass-loss from the stellar surface. This problem has particular importance for the development o...

Nearly Self-Consistent Disk-Bulge-Halo Models for Galaxies
We describe methods for setting up self-consistent disk-bulge-halo galaxy models. The bulge and halo distribution functions (\df) are functions of $E$ and $L_z$ only. The halo's flattening and rotation can be specified. The disk \df\ is a function of $E$ and $L_z$ and a third ``integral'', $E_z$, the vertical energy, w...

The Chemical Evolution of Damped Lyman Alpha Galaxies
Measurements of element abundances in damped Lyman alpha systems are providing new means to investigate the chemical evolution of galaxies, particularly at early times. We review progress in this area, concentrating on recent efforts to extend the range of existing surveys to both higher and lower redshifts.

A Speculation into the Origin of Neutral Globules In Planetary Nebulae: Could the Helix's Comets Really Be Comets?

The mass of such hypothetical cometary bodies would have to be several orders of magnitude larger than any such bo...

Evidence for a Very Large-Scale Fractal Structure in the Universe from Cobe Measurements
