Evidence of a truncated spectrum in the angular correlation function of the cosmic microwave background

Fulvio Melia, Martin Lopez-Corredoira

The lack of large-angle correlations in the fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) conflicts with predictions of slow-roll inflation. But though probabilities (< 0.2…

Relative contribution of the hydrogen 2S two-photon decay and Lyman-alpha escape channels during the epoch of cosmological recombination

J. A. Rubino-Martin, R. A. Sunyaev

We discuss the evolution of the ratio in number of recombinations due to 2s two photon escape and due to the escape of Lyman- photons from the resonance during the epoch of cosm…

Exploring cosmic origins with CORE: gravitational lensing of the CMB

Anthony Challinor, Rupert Allison, Julien Carron +110

Lensing of the CMB is now a well-developed probe of large-scale clustering over a broad range of redshifts. By exploiting the non-Gaussian imprints of lensing in the polarization o…

Tracing the cosmic web

Noam I Libeskind, Rien van de Weygaert, Marius Cautun +27

The cosmic web is one of the most striking features of the distribution of galaxies and dark matter on the largest scales in the Universe. It is composed of dense regions packed fu…

Analysis of the Amplitude of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect out to Redshift z=0.8

M. Lopez-Corredoira, C. M. Gutierrez, R. T. Genova-Santos

The interaction of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with the hot gas in clusters of galaxies, the so-called Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ) effect, is a very useful tool that allows…
