Non-minimal braneworld inflation after the Planck

Nozari, Kourosh; Rashidi, Narges

The recently released Planck data have constrained 4-dimensional inflationary parameters even more accurately than ever. We consider an extension of the braneworld model with induced gravity and a non-minimally coupled scalar field on the brane. We constraint the inflation parameters in this setup, by adopting six types of potential, in confrontat…

The most compact bright radio-loud AGN—I. A new target sample selected for the space VLBI

Frey, Sándor; An, Tao; Wu, Xiaocong

We investigated the archival ground-based VLBI images of the extragalactic radio sources included in both the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and the Planck catalogues, and selected 49 bright and compact sources as potential targets for space Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations at mm wavelengths. These sources have a …
