The Influence of Quintessence on the Separation of CMB Peaks
Michael Doran, Matthew Lilley, Jan Schwindt +1
A hypothetical dark energy component may have an equation of state that is different from a cosmological constant and possibly even changing in time. The spacing of the cosmic micr…
Constraining Quintessence with the New CMB Data
Michael Doran, Matthew Lilley, Christof Wetterich
The CMB data recently released by BOOMERANG and MAXIMA suggest that the anisotropy spectrum has a third peak in the range 800<l_3<900. A combination of this result with constraints…
The Location of CMB Peaks in a Universe with Dark Energy
Michael Doran, Matthew Lilley
The locations of the peaks of the CMB spectrum are sensitive indicators of cosmological parameters, yet there is no known analytic formula which accurately describes their dependen…
Defect Formation Rates in Cosmological First-Order Phase Transitions
Matthew Lilley, Antonio Ferrera
In cosmological first-order phase transitions, the progress of true-vacuum bubbles is expected to be significantly retarded by the interaction between the bubble wall and the hot p…
Quintessence and the Separation of CMB Peaks
Michael Doran, Matthew Lilley, Jan Schwindt +1
We propose that it should be possible to use the CMB to discriminate between dark energy models with different equations of state, including distinguishing a cosmological constant…
First-Order Phase Transitions in an Early-Universe Environment
Matthew Lilley
In first-order phase transitions in the early universe, the bubble wall is expected to be significantly slowed-down by its interaction with the surrounding plasma. We examine the b…
