Maps of the millimetre sky from the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, A. Balbi +38
In the 1998-99 flight, BOOMERanG has produced maps of of the sky at high Galactic latitudes, at frequencies of 90, 150, 240 and 410 GHz, with resolution $\simgt 10'$. Th…
Morphological Measures of nonGaussianity in CMB Maps
Sergei F. Shandarin, Hume A. Feldman, Yongzhong Xu +1
We discuss the tests of nonGaussianity in CMB maps using morphological statistics known as Minkowski functionals. As an example we test degree-scale cosmic microwave background (CM…
Bias and beyond
Max Tegmark
It is becoming increasingly clear that galaxy bias is complicated, with evidence indicating that it can be time-dependent, morphology-dependent, scale-dependent, non-linear and non…
Cosmic complementarity: combining CMB and supernova observations
Max Tegmark, Daniel J. Eisenstein, Wayne Hu
We compute the accuracy with which Omega and Lambda can be measured by combining future SN Ia and CMB experiments, deriving a handy expression for the SN Ia Fisher information matr…
Cosmic microwave background maps from the HACME experiment
Max Tegmark, Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, John Staren +9
We present Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) maps from the Santa Barbara HACME balloon experiment (Staren etal 2000), covering about 1150 square degrees split between two regions i…
