Book culture and education in Early Byzantium (4th — 7th centuries CE): Asia Minor

open access: yesМатериалы по археологии и истории античного и средневекового Причерноморья, 2021
The paper considers the role of book culture, the state and evolution of education in the Eastern Mediterranean of the early Byzantine time (4th — 7th centuries) in the context of the cultural continuity between Antiquity and the Middle Ages, using the ...

Structure of the Baryon Halo Around a Supermassive Primordial Black Hole

open access: yesParticles
According to some theoretical models, primordial black holes with masses of more than 108 solar masses could be born in the early universe, and their possible observational manifestations have been investigated in a number of works. Dense dark matter and

Particle decays during the cosmic dark ages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We consider particle decays during the cosmic dark ages with two aims: (1) to explain the high optical depth reported by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), and (2) to provide new constraints to the parameter space for decaying particles. We

Constraints on the cosmic equation of state: age conflict versus phantom energy. Age-redshift relations in an accelerated universe

open access: yes, 2004
The currently available values and confidence limits for Omega_m0, H_0 and globular cluster ages still indicate that the dark energy that dominates the Universe could also be a form of quintessence or phantom energy.

Constraints on holographic dark energy models using the differential ages of passively evolving galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Using the absolute ages of passively evolving galaxies observed at different redshifts, one can obtain the differential ages, the derivative of redshift $z$ with respect to the cosmic time $t$ (i.e. ${\rm d} z/{\rm d}t$). Thus, the Hubble parameter $H(z)$

Aging and dark adaptation

open access: yesVision Research, 1999
Older adults have serious difficulty seeing under low illumination and at night, even in the absence of ocular disease. Optical changes in the aged eye, such as pupillary miosis and increased lens density, cannot account for the severity of this problem, and little is known about its neural basis.

A smoother end to the dark ages

open access: yes, 2011
Independent lines of evidence suggest that the first stars, which ended the cosmic dark ages, came in pairs, rather than singly. This could change the prevailing view that the early Universe had a Swiss-cheese-like appearance.Comment: Nature News and ...

21-cm observations and warm dark matter models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Observations of the redshifted 21-cm signal (in absorption or emission) allow us to peek into the epoch of "dark ages" and the onset of reionization. These data can provide a novel way to learn about the nature of dark matter, in particular about the ...

Dark energy gravitational wave observations and ice age periodicity

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2020
Dark Energy is the dominant component of the energy density of the Universe. However, it is also very elusive since its interaction with the rest of the Universe is primarily gravitational.
