The Statistics of Cosmological Lyman-alpha Absorption
Dipak Munshi, Peter Coles, Matteo Viel
We study the effect of the non-Gaussianity induced by gravitational evolution upon the statistical properties of absorption in quasar (QSO) spectra. Using the generic hierarchical…
Tomography and Weak lensing Statistics
Dipak Munshi, Peter Coles, Martin Kilbinger
Extending previous studies, we derive generic predictions for lower order cumulants and their correlators for individual tomographic bins as well as between two different bins. We…
Planck Intermediate Results. I. Further validation of new Planck clusters with XMM-Newton
The Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. Arnaud +182
We present further results from the ongoing XMM-Newton validation follow-up of Planck cluster candidates, detailing X-ray observations of eleven candidates detected at a signal-to-…
Cross-correlating Sunyaev-Zel'dovich and Weak Lensing Maps
Dipak Munshi, Shahab Joudaki, Peter Coles +2
We present novel statistical tools to cross-correlate frequency cleaned thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) maps and tomographic weak lensing (wl) convergence maps. Moving beyond the…
Non-Gaussianity in Large Scale Structure and Minkowski Functionals
Geraint Pratten, Dipak Munshi
Minkowski Functionals (MFs) are topological statistics that have become one of many standard tools used for investigating the statistical properties of cosmological random fields.…
Statistical Properties of Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Maps
Dipak Munshi, Shahab Joudaki, Joseph Smidt +2
At high angular frequencies, beyond the damping tail of the primary power spectrum, the dominant contribution to the power spectrum of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature…
