Bridging the Gap: Spectral Distortions meet Gravitational Waves
Thomas Kite
This talk has the goal of introducing two upcoming exciting avenues of discovery in precision Cosmology: spectral distortions (SDs) and gravitational waves (GWs). The former signal…
Bridging the gap: spectral distortions meet gravitational waves
Thomas Kite, Andrea Ravenni, Subodh P. Patil +1
Gravitational waves (GWs) have the potential to probe the entirety of cosmological history due to their nearly perfect decoupling from the thermal bath and any intervening matter a…
The double Compton process in astrophysical plasmas
Andrea Ravenni, Jens Chluba
We study the double Compton (DC) process for a wide range of particle energies, extending previous treatments well beyond the soft photon limit, employing both numerical and analyt…
Thermalization of large energy release in the early Universe
Jens Chluba, Andrea Ravenni, Sandeep Kumar Acharya
Spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provide a unique tool for learning about the early phases of cosmic history, reaching deep into the primordial Univers…
Improved calculations of electron-ion Bremsstrahlung Gaunt factors for astrophysical applications
Jens Chluba, Andrea Ravenni, Boris Bolliet
Electron-ion Bremsstrahlung (free-free) emission and absorption occur in many astrophysical plasmas for a wide range of physical conditions. This classical problem has been studied…
Microwave Spectro-Polarimetry of Matter and Radiation across Space and Time
Jacques Delabrouille, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Nabila Aghanim +77
This paper discusses the science case for a sensitive spectro-polarimetric survey of the microwave sky. Such a survey would provide a tomographic and dynamic census of the three-di…
