Hawaii scientists find direct evidence of 'Dark Energy' | KHNL NBC 8 Honolulu Hawaii
"July 30, 2008
MANOA (KHNL) - A team of astronomers at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy has found direct evidence for the existence of "dark energy," an unknown form that works against gravity to pull galaxies together which causes the universe's expansion to speed up.
The team, led by Dr. Istan Szapudi, says this latest detection is the clearest to date. There is only one in 200,000 chance that the detection would occur by chance.
The team made the discovery by measuring the subtle imprints that superclusters and supervoids leave in microwaves that pass through them.""

Madau said gamma rays from such collisions might be detectable by the recently launched Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope.
"That's what makes this exciting," he said. "Some of those clumps are so dense they will emit a lot of gamma rays if there is dark matter annihilation and it might easily be detected by GLAST."
Study finds dark matter may be near Earth - UPI.com
"SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. and Swiss researchers say computer simulations suggest dark matter exists within the Milky Way galaxy and near Earth's solar system.
University of California-Santa Cruz Professor Piero Madau said previous simulations showed the Milky Way clear of dark matter but the new study utilizing the Jaguar supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory provided enough detail to see clumps of dark matter."

According to one theory, however, dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which can annihilate each other and emit gamma rays when they collide.

Hawaii scientists find direct evidence of 'Dark Energy' | KHNL NBC 8 Honolulu Hawaii
"July 30, 2008
MANOA (KHNL) - A team of astronomers at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy has found direct evidence for the existence of "dark energy," an unknown form that works against gravity to pull galaxies together which causes the universe's expansion to speed up.
The team, led by Dr. Istan Szapudi, says this latest detection is the clearest to date. There is only one in 200,000 chance that the detection would occur by chance.
The team made the discovery by measuring the subtle imprints that superclusters and supervoids leave in microwaves that pass through them.""

Madau said gamma rays from such collisions might be detectable by the recently launched Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope.
"That's what makes this exciting," he said. "Some of those clumps are so dense they will emit a lot of gamma rays if there is dark matter annihilation and it might easily be detected by GLAST."

"SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. and Swiss researchers say computer simulations suggest dark matter exists within the Milky Way galaxy and near Earth's solar system.
University of California-Santa Cruz Professor Piero Madau said previous simulations showed the Milky Way clear of dark matter but the new study utilizing the Jaguar supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory provided enough detail to see clumps of dark matter."

COROT's new find orbits Sun-like star
"The ground-based follow-up of the detection of COROT-exo-4b was carried out with the cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph, SOPHIE, on the 1.8-m telescope at the Observatoire de Haute Provence (France), the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher, HARPS on the 3.6-m telescope at La Silla observatory (Chile) and the cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph, UVES on the 8.2-m Very Large Telescope at Paranal (Chile), the 1-m telescope at the Wise Observatory in Israel, the 1-m Euler telescope at La Silla, and the 3.6-m Canada-France-Hawaii telescope.
COROT is a CNES project with ESA participation. The other major partners in this mission are Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Germany and Spain. "

Most Direct Evidence of Dark Energy Detected

The most direct signal of dark energy? - physicsworld.com
"Is Szapudi’s team now even more confident?
Well, it’s not so much the statistical confidence that’s a big deal ― they claim to detect the ISW effect at just above four sigma (or 99.9995% certainty), which is in the same league as other confidence values reported this year.

If confirmed, the findings could bring astronomers closer to understanding a phenomenon that has bedeviled them for more than a decade"

Hawaii scientists find direct evidence of 'Dark Energy' | KHNL NBC 8 Honolulu Hawaii
"July 30, 2008
MANOA (KHNL) - A team of astronomers at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy has found direct evidence for the existence of "dark energy," an unknown form that works against gravity to pull galaxies together which causes the universe's expansion to speed up.
The team, led by Dr. Istan Szapudi, says this latest detection is the clearest to date. There is only one in 200,000 chance that the detection would occur by chance.
The team made the discovery by measuring the subtle imprints that superclusters and supervoids leave in microwaves that pass through them.""

Madau said gamma rays from such collisions might be detectable by the recently launched Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope.
"That's what makes this exciting," he said. "Some of those clumps are so dense they will emit a lot of gamma rays if there is dark matter annihilation and it might easily be detected by GLAST."
Study finds dark matter may be near Earth - UPI.com
"SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. and Swiss researchers say computer simulations suggest dark matter exists within the Milky Way galaxy and near Earth's solar system.
University of California-Santa Cruz Professor Piero Madau said previous simulations showed the Milky Way clear of dark matter but the new study utilizing the Jaguar supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory provided enough detail to see clumps of dark matter."

According to one theory, however, dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which can annihilate each other and emit gamma rays when they collide. Gamma rays from dark matter annihilation could be detected by the recently launched Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), which UCSC physicists helped build.
