Chandra deep observation of XDCP J0044.0-2033, a massive galaxy cluster at z>1.5

P. Tozzi, J. S. Santos, M. J. Jee +11

We report the analysis of the Chandra observation of XDCP J0044.0-2033, a massive, distant (z=1.579) galaxy cluster discovered in the XDCP survey. The total exposure time of 380 ks…

Monopole and dipole estimation for multi-frequency sky maps by linear regression

I. K. Wehus, U. Fuskeland, H. K. Eriksen +9

We describe a simple but efficient method for deriving a consistent set of monopole and dipole corrections for multi-frequency sky map data sets, allowing robust parametric compone…

Pressure distribution of the high-redshift cluster of galaxies CL J1226.9+3332 with NIKA

R. Adam, B. Comis, J. -F. Macías-Pérez +37

The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect is expected to provide a low scatter mass proxy for galaxy clusters since it is directly proportional to the cluster thermal energy. The…

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Statistical quality assessment of SZ detections

N. Aghanim, G. Hurier, J. -M. Diego +6

We examine three approaches to the problem of source classification in catalogues. Our goal is to determine the confidence with which the elements in these catalogues can be distin…

Planck intermediate results. XXX. The angular power spectrum of polarized dust emission at intermediate and high Galactic latitudes

Planck Collaboration, R. Adam, P. A. R. Ade +230

The polarized thermal emission from Galactic dust is the main foreground present in measurements of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at frequencies above 1…

Improved constraint on the primordial gravitational-wave density using recent cosmological data and its impact on cosmic string models

Sophie Henrot-Versillé, Florent Robinet, Nicolas Leroy +13

The production of a primordial stochastic gravitational-wave background by processes occuring in the early Universe is expected in a broad range of models. Observing this backgroun…

Exploring gravitational theories beyond Horndeski

Jérôme Gleyzes, David Langlois, Federico Piazza +1

We have recently proposed a new class of gravitational scalar-tensor theories free from Ostrogradski instabilities, in arXiv:1404.6495. As they generalize Horndeski theories, or "g…

Planck intermediate results. XXVI. Optical identification and redshifts of Planck clusters with the RTT150 telescope

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +194

We present the results of approximately three years of observations of Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) sources with the Russian-Turkish 1.5-m telescope (RTT150), as a part of the opt…

Resilience of the standard predictions for primordial tensor modes

Paolo Creminelli, Jérôme Gleyzes, Jorge Noreña +1

We show that the prediction for the primordial tensor power spectrum cannot be modified at leading order in derivatives. Indeed, one can always set to unity the speed of propagatio…

Detecting chiral gravity with the pure pseudospectrum reconstruction of the cosmic microwave background polarized anisotropies

A. Ferte, J. Grain

We consider the possible detection of parity violation at the linear level in gravity using polarized anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background. Since such a parity violation…

Comparison of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements from Planck and from the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager for 99 galaxy clusters

Y. C. Perrott, M. Olamaie, C. Rumsey +39

We present observations and analysis of a sample of 123 galaxy clusters from the 2013 Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich sources with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI), a…

Cross-correlation of cosmic far-infrared background anisotropies with large scale structures

Paolo Serra, Guilaine Lagache, Olivier Doré +2

We measure the cross-power spectra between luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-III Data Release Eight (DR8) and cosmic infrared background (CIB) a…

Standard big bang nucleosynthesis and primordial CNO Abundances after Planck

Alain Coc, Jean-Philippe Uzan, Elisabeth Vangioni

Primordial or big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) is one of the three historical strong evidences for the big bang model. The recent results by the Planck satellite mission have slightl…
