Observing the Evolution of the Universe
James Aguirre, Alexandre Amblard, Amjad Ashoorioon +172
How did the universe evolve? The fine angular scale (l>1000) temperature and polarization anisotropies in the CMB are a Rosetta stone for understanding the evolution of the univers…
Constraints on dark matter to dark radiation conversion in the late universe with DES-Y1 and external data
Angela Chen, Dragan Huterer, Sujeong Lee +81
We study a phenomenological class of models where dark matter converts to dark radiation in the low redshift epoch. This class of models, dubbed DMDR, characterizes the evolution o…
Early assembly of the most massive galaxies
Chris A. Collins, John P. Stott, Matt Hilton +15
The current consensus is that galaxies begin as small density fluctuations in the early Universe and grow by in situ star formation and hierarchical merging. Stars begin to form re…
CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Probing Inflation with CMB Polarization
Daniel Baumann, Mark G. Jackson, Peter Adshead +56
We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measu…
