Disentangling geometry & growth in cosmic neutrino mass constraints: a more physical split and diagnostic
Fei Ge, Frank J. Qu, Hanyue Wang +3
Recent cosmological data hint at a neutrino mass sum below the minimum value allowed by the neutrino mass oscillation experiments, with a preference for the opposite of massive neu…
Model-Independent Measurement of Baryon Gas Fractions through Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing and the Kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect

Baryon feedback is a leading source of systematic uncertainty for cosmology from weak lensing, but measurements of the gas distribution around galaxies have largely relied on param…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Constraints on the anisotropic screening and birefringence effects with DR6
Darby M. Kramer, Alexander van Engelen, Frank J. Qu +14
While we have learned much from recent surveys of the mm-wave sky, many secondary anisotropies of the CMB remain under-explored. We consider two of these here: the anisotropic scre…
