Fine-structure constant constraints on dark energy: II. Extending the parameter space

C. J. A. P. Martins, A. M. M. Pinho, P. Carreira +3

Astrophysical tests of the stability of fundamental couplings, such as the fine-structure constant , are a powerful probe of new physics. Recently these measurements, combined w…

Non-Gaussianity in the Very Small Array CMB maps with Smooth-Goodness-of-fit tests

Jose Alberto Rubino-Martin, Antonio M. Aliaga, R. B. Barreiro +31

(Abridged) We have used the Rayner & Best (1989) smooth tests of goodness-of-fit to study the Gaussianity of the Very Small Array (VSA) data. Out of the 41 published VSA individual…

Cosmological parameter estimation using Very Small Array data out to l=1500

Rafael Rebolo, Richard A. Battye, Pedro Carreira +29

We estimate cosmological parameters using data obtained by the Very Small Array (VSA) in its extended configuration, in conjunction with a variety of other CMB data and external pr…

High sensitivity measurements of the CMB power spectrum with the extended Very Small Array

Clive Dickinson, Richard A. Battye, Kieran Cleary +29

We present deep Ka-band ( GHz) observations of the CMB made with the extended Very Small Array (VSA). This configuration produces a naturally weighted synthesized FWHM…

Estimating the bispectrum of the Very Small Array data

Sarah Smith, Graca Rocha, Anthony Challinor +30

We estimate the bispectrum of the Very Small Array data from the compact and extended configuration observations released in December 2002, and compare our results to those obtaine…

Searching for non-Gaussianity in the VSA data

Richard Savage, Richard A. Battye, Pedro Carreira +28

We have tested Very Small Array (VSA) observations of three regions of sky for the presence of non-Gaussianity, using high-order cumulants, Minkowski functionals, a wavelet-based t…
