Dark Matter As An Integral Part Of An Alternative Gravity Model, Hontas Farmer

Hontas F Farmer

The purpose of this paper is to reconcile observations of dark matter effects on the galactic and cosmological scales with the null results of astroparticle physics observations such as CDMS and ANTARES. This paper will also provide a candidate unified and simpler mathematical formulation for the Lambda CDM model. Unification is achieved by a combination of the f(R) approach, with the standard LCDM approach and inflationary models. It is postulated that dark matter-energy fields depend on the Ricci curvature R. Standard methods of classical and quantum field theory on curved space time are applied. When this model is treated as …


Disk-Outflow Models As Applied To High Mass Star Forming Regions Through Methanol And Water Maser Observations, Hontas Farmer Apr 2014

Disk-Outflow Models As Applied To High Mass Star Forming Regions Through Methanol And Water Maser Observations, Hontas Farmer

Hontas F Farmer

As the recent publication by Breen et al (2013) found Class II methanol masers are exclusively associated with high mass star forming regions. Based on the positions of the Class I and II methanol and H2O masers, UC H~II regions and 4.5~μm infrared sources, and the center velocities (vLSR) of the Class I methanol and H2O masers, compared to the vLSR of the Class II methanol masers, we propose three disk-outflow models that may be traced by methanol masers. In all three models, we have located the Class II methanol maser near the protostar, and the Class I methanol maser …
