Faraday Rotation of the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization by a Stochastic Magnetic Field

Arthur Kosowsky, Tina Kahniashvili, George Lavrelashvili +1

A primordial cosmological magnetic field induces Faraday rotation of the cosmic microwave background polarization. This rotation produces a curl-type polarization component even wh…

Cosmological Magnetic Fields vs. CMB

Tina Kahniashvili

I present a short review of the effects of a cosmological magnetic field on the CMB temperature and polarization anisotropies. Various possibilities for constraining the magnetic f…

Constraints on Scalar-Field Dark Energy from Galaxy Cluster Gas Mass Fraction versus Redshift

Gang Chen, Bharat Ratra

We use the Allen et al. (2004) Chandra measurements of x-ray gas mass fraction of 26 rich clusters to place constraints on the scalar-field dark energy model with inverse power law…

Looking for Cosmological Alfven Waves in WMAP Data

Gang Chen, Pia Mukherjee, Tina Kahniashvili +2

A primordial cosmological magnetic field induces and supports vorticity or Alfven waves, which in turn generate cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. A homogeneous primor…

Constraints on Scalar-Field Dark Energy from the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey Gravitational Lens Statistics

Kyu-Hyun Chae, Gang Chen, Bharat Ratra +1

We use the statistics of strong gravitational lensing based on the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) data to constrain cosmological parameters in a spatially-flat, inverse power-l…
