Dr. Lucia Popa:

FP7: supplementary explanations and recommendations for future competitions

• A very useful follow-up of Dr Popa's participation to FP7 MID-TERM EVALUATION meeting. You can find the presentation here

• Short presentation of the working groups involved in developing all the necessary standards and tools: Application, Astro-Grid IG, Data Access Layer (DAL), Data Model, DCP, Grid and Web Services, Registry, Semantics, Theory, VO Event, VO Query Language, VOTable
• Special discussion about the Multidisciplinary session about the initiative of extending the expertise and tools specific of VO to other disciplines like Solar Physics, Planetary Physics and Astroparticle Physics.

• constraining cosmological models which take into account the variation of the fine-structure constant and reionization and lepton asymmetric cosmological models using WMAP 5-years + Chandra meassurements of the X-ray fas mass fraction in X-ray luminous, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters
• Constraining and extended cosmological model which considers both lepton asymmetry and sterile neutrino as a dark matter component.

• Modeling the systematic noise induced by galactic and extragalactic foregrounds subtraction in CMB polarization data
• Investigating the possibility of detection of CMB B-mode polarization in the presence of foregrounds residuals by Planck experiment

• Lucia will present three WMAP Five-year paper about: Cosmological interpretation
• General discussion, if needed

• Ana will present three WMAP Five-year paper about:Likelihoods and Parameters
• General discussion, if needed

• Petruta will present three WMAP Five-year paper about:Angular Power Spectra
• Discussion about the physical importance of the new WMAP Five-year and the possible tasks for the group members
• General discussion, if needed

• using simulated CMB and LSS data
• analyzing the degree of correlation and recalibrating cosmological data
• including Barionic Acoustic Oscillations
• analyzing multipole bands and the deviation of the likelihoods from gaussianity
