Shaping binary black hole merger efficiency with gravitational wave observations
Michele Bosi, Lumen Boco, Stefano Torniamenti +5
Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy offers unprecedented insights into binary black hole (BBH) coalescence. However, many of the key quantities involved remain inaccessible to direct…
-sure. Part II. Scattering transforms as robustness test for tensor-to-scalar ratio detection from CMB observations
Claudio Ranucci, Sébastien Pierre, Léo Vacher +7
Galactic foregrounds represent a major contamination to the measurement of primordial -modes from observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background polarisation. Even after the ap…
Planck 2013 results. XXIX. The Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich sources: Addendum
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +276
We update the all-sky Planck catalogue of 1227 clusters and cluster candidates (PSZ1) published in March 2013, derived from Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect detections using the first…
Planck 2013 results. XV. CMB power spectra and likelihood
Planck collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +257
We present the Planck likelihood, a complete statistical description of the two-point correlation function of the CMB temperature fluctuations. We use this likelihood to derive the…
Planck early results. III. First assessment of the Low Frequency Instrument in-flight performance
A. Mennella, M. Bersanelli, R. C. Butler +158
The scientific performance of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) after one year of in-orbit operation is presented. We describe the main optical parameters and discuss photo…
Probing Cosmic Strings with Satellite CMB measurements
E. Jeong, Carlo Baccigalupi, G. F. Smoot
We study the problem of searching for cosmic string signal patterns in the present high resolution and high sensitivity observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This…
CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Prospects for polarized foreground removal
J. Dunkley, A. Amblard, C. Baccigalupi +28
In this report we discuss the impact of polarized foregrounds on a future CMBPol satellite mission. We review our current knowledge of Galactic polarized emission at microwave freq…
Halo Concentrations and Weak-Lensing Number Counts in Dark Energy Cosmologies
Matthias Bartelmann, Francesca Perrotta, Carlo Baccigalupi
We study the effects of a dark energy component with equation of state p=w rho with constant w >= -1 on the formation of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) haloes. We find two main effects: fi…
All-sky astrophysical component separation with Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA)
D. Maino, A. Farusi, C. Baccigalupi +7
We present a new, fast, algorithm for the separation of astrophysical components superposed in maps of the sky, based on the fast Independent Component Analysis technique (FastICA)…
Throwing pebbles in the primordial pond
Carlo Baccigalupi
We consider anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) generated by spatially limited seeds; these objects could correspond to relics of high energy symmetry breaking in…
Cosmic microwave background: polarization and temperature anisotropies from symmetric structures
Carlo Baccigalupi
I consider the case of anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) from one single ordered perturbation source, or seed, existing well before decoupling between matter an…
Non-Gaussian Dark Matter perturbations and their imprint on the microwave background
Carlo Baccigalupi
The phases of the Fourier transform of any linear cosmological perturbation may be random (the Gaussian case) or not (the non-Gaussian case). If a non-Gaussian inhomogeneity was ge…
Sub-degree CMB anisotropies from inflationary bubbles
Carlo Baccigalupi
It is well known that processes of first order phase transitions may have occurred in the inflationary era. If one or more occurred well before the end of inflation, the nucleated…
Stochastic gravitational background from inflationary phase transitions
Carlo Baccigalupi, Luca Amendola, Pierluigi Fortini +1
We consider true vacuum bubbles generated in a first order phase transition occurring during the slow rolling era of a two field inflation: it is known that gravitational waves are…
Imprints of Primordial Voids on the CMB
C. Baccigalupi, L. Amendola, F. Occhionero
We generalize in several ways the results existing in the literature: a) we make use of an exact general relativistic solution for a spherical, nearly empty cavity in the matter do…
Reconstruction of the bubble nucleating potential
Luca Amendola, Carlo Baccigalupi, Rostislav Konoplich +2
We calculate analytically the bubble nucleation rate in a model of first order inflation which is able to produce large scale structure. The computation includes the first-order de…
Reconciling inflation with openness
Luca Amendola, Carlo Baccigalupi, Franco Occhionero
It is already understood that the increasing observational evidence for an open Universe can be reconciled with inflation if our horizon is contained inside one single huge bubble…
Reconciling Inflation with Openness
Luca Amendola, Carlo Baccigalupi, Franco Occhionero
It is already understood that the increasing observational evidence for an open Universe may be reconciled with inflation if our horizon is contained inside one single huge bubble…
