Planck intermediate results. XLI. A map of lensing-induced B-modes

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +178

The secondary cosmic microwave background (CMB) -modes stem from the post-decoupling distortion of the polarization -modes due to the gravitational lensing effect of large-sc…

Lyman-Alpha Emitting Galaxies as a Probe of Reionization: Large-Scale Bubble Morphology and Small-Scale Absorbers

Koki Kakiichi, Mark Dijkstra, Benedetta Ciardi +1

The visibility of LyA emitting galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization is controlled by both diffuse HI patches in large-scale bubble morphology and small-scale absorbers. To inv…

SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 12: galaxy target selection and large scale structure catalogues

Beth Reid, Shirley Ho, Nikhil Padmanabhan +39

The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) III project, has provided the largest survey of galaxy redshifts available to date,…

Improving the precision matrix for precision cosmology

Dante J. Paz, Ariel G. Sanchez

The estimation of cosmological constraints from observations of the large scale structure of the Universe, such as the power spectrum or the correlation function, requires the know…

Planck 2015 results. XII. Full Focal Plane simulations

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +228

We present the 8th Full Focal Plane simulation set (FFP8), deployed in support of the Planck 2015 results. FFP8 consists of 10 fiducial mission realizations reduced to 18144 maps,…

Performance of internal Covariance Estimators for Cosmic Shear Correlation Functions

O. Friedrich, S. Seitz, T. F. Eifler +1

Data re-sampling methods such as the delete-one jackknife are a common tool for estimating the covariance of large scale structure probes. In this paper we investigate the concepts…
