Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: Inflation

CORE Collaboration, Fabio Finelli, Martin Bucher +129

We forecast the scientific capabilities to improve our understanding of cosmic inflation of CORE, a proposed CMB space satellite submitted in response to the ESA fifth call for a m…

Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: Cosmological Parameters

Eleonora Di Valentino, Thejs Brinckmann, Martina Gerbino +125

We forecast the main cosmological parameter constraints achievable with the CORE space mission which is dedicated to mapping the polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CM…

Science with the space-based interferometer LISA. IV: Probing inflation with gravitational waves

Nicola Bartolo, Chiara Caprini, Valerie Domcke +11

We investigate the potential for the LISA space-based interferometer to detect the stochastic gravitational wave background produced from different mechanisms during inflation. Foc…

Galilean invariant resummation schemes of cosmological perturbations

Marco Peloso, Massimo Pietroni

Many of the methods proposed so far to go beyond Standard Perturbation Theory break invariance under time-dependent boosts (denoted here as extended Galilean Invariance, or GI). Th…

Planck intermediate results. LI. Features in the cosmic microwave background temperature power spectrum and shifts in cosmological parameters

Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, Y. Akrami +150

The six parameters of the standard CDM model have best-fit values derived from the Planck temperature power spectrum that are shifted somewhat from the best-fit values derived f…

Angular dependence of primordial trispectra and CMB spectral distortions

Maresuke Shiraishi, Nicola Bartolo, Michele Liguori

Under the presence of anisotropic sources in the inflationary era, the trispectrum of the primordial curvature perturbation has a very specific angular dependence between each wave…

Planck intermediate results. L. Evidence for spatial variation of the polarized thermal dust spectral energy distribution and implications for CMB -mode analysis

Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. Ashdown +156

The characterization of the Galactic foregrounds has been shown to be the main obstacle in the challenging quest to detect primordial B-modes in the polarized microwave sky. We mak…

Pseudoscalar - sterile neutrino interactions: reconciling the cosmos with neutrino oscillations

Maria Archidiacono, Stefano Gariazzo, Carlo Giunti +4

The Short BaseLine (SBL) neutrino oscillation anomalies hint at the presence of a sterile neutrino with a mass of around 1 eV. However, such a neutrino is incompatible with cosmolo…

Red, Straight, no bends: primordial power spectrum reconstruction from CMB and large-scale structure

Andrea Ravenni, Licia Verde, Antonio J. Cuesta

We present a minimally parametric, model independent reconstruction of the shape of the primordial power spectrum. Our smoothing spline technique is well-suited to search for smoot…

Initial Conditions for Accurate N-Body Simulations of Massive Neutrino Cosmologies

Matteo Zennaro, Julien Bel, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro +3

The set-up of the initial conditions in cosmological N-body simulations is usually implemented by rescaling the desired low-redshift linear power spectrum to the required starting…
