The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian
This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDS…
Axion Cosmology and the Energy Scale of Inflation
Mark P Hertzberg, Max Tegmark, Frank Wilczek
We survey observational constraints on the parameter space of inflation and axions and map out two allowed windows: the classic window and the inflationary anthropic window. The co…
How accurately can 21 cm tomography constrain cosmology?
Yi Mao, Max Tegmark, Matthew McQuinn +2
There is growing interest in using 3-dimensional neutral hydrogen mapping with the redshifted 21 cm line as a cosmological probe, as it has been argued to have a greater long-term…
Searching for Inflation in Simple String Theory Models: An Astrophysical Perspective
Mark P. Hertzberg, Max Tegmark, Shamit Kachru +2
Attempts to connect string theory with astrophysical observation are hampered by a jargon barrier, where an intimidating profusion of orientifolds, Kahler potentials, etc. dissuade…
Searching for non Gaussian signals in the BOOMERanG 2003 CMB maps
G. De Troia, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +38
We analyze the BOOMERanG 2003 (B03) 145 GHz temperature map to constrain the amplitude of a non Gaussian, primordial contribution to CMB fluctuations. We perform a pixel space anal…
Anthropic predictions for vacuum energy and neutrino masses in the light of WMAP-3
Levon Pogosian, Alexander Vilenkin
Anthropic probability distributions for the cosmological constant and for the sum of neutrino masses are updated using the WMAP-3 data release. The new distribution for Lambda is i…
