Constraints on Cosmology from the Cosmic Microwave Background Power Spectrum of the 2500 SPT-SZ Survey

Z. Hou, C. L. Reichardt, K. T. Story +49

We explore extensions to the CDM cosmology using measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the recent SPT-SZ survey, along with data from WMAP7 and measurements…

Trans-Planckian Issues for Inflationary Cosmology

Robert Brandenberger, Jerome Martin

The accelerated expansion of space during the period of cosmological inflation leads to trans-Planckian issues which need to be addressed. Most importantly, the physical wavelength…

The SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey: blank-field number counts of 450um-selected galaxies and their contribution to the cosmic infrared background

J. E. Geach, E. L. Chapin, K. E. K. Coppin +50

The first deep blank-field 450um map (1-sigma~1.3mJy) from the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey (S2CLS), conducted with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) is presented. Our ma…

Super-luminous supernovae at redshifts of 2.05 and 3.90

Jeff Cooke, Mark Sullivan, Avishay Gal-Yam +6

A rare class of `super-luminous' supernovae that are about ten or more times more luminous at their peaks than other types of luminous supernovae has recently been found at low to…

Number Counts and Non-Gaussianity

Sarah Shandera, Adrienne L. Erickcek, Pat Scott +1

We describe a general procedure for using number counts of any object to constrain the probability distribution of the primordial fluctuations, allowing for generic weak non-Gaussi…

Lensing Noise in mm-wave Galaxy Cluster Surveys

Yashar Hezaveh, Keith Vanderlinde, Gilbert Holder +1

We study the effects of gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters of the background of dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), and examine the…
