Optimal and exact wide-angle power spectrum estimation
Noah Sailer, Kendrick Smith, Yurii Kvasiuk +2
What is the optimal power spectrum estimator on ultra-large scales where the plane-parallel approximation breaks down? Conventional estimators, such as the Yamamoto estimator, are…
First detection of the moving lens effect with ACT and DESI LS
Selim C. Hotinli, Kendrick M. Smith, Simone Ferraro +4
The moving lens effect is a secondary CMB anisotropy induced by the transverse motion of gravitational potentials. We develop a Fourier-space cross-spectrum estimator that retains…
Probing Dark Energy Microphysics with kSZ Tomography
Julius Adolff, Selim Hotinli, Neal Dalal
The accelerated expansion of the Universe is well established by geometric probes, yet its physical origin remains poorly understood. Most constraints on dark energy arise from bac…
Measurement of the galaxy-velocity power spectrum of DESI tracers with the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect using DESI DR2 and ACT DR6
Edmond Chaussidon, Selim C. Hotinli, Simone Ferraro +49
Joint analyses of high-resolution CMB temperature maps with galaxy surveys provide a unique way to reconstruct the radial velocity field of the underlying matter distribution via t…
The Simons Observatory: Quantifying the impact of beam chromaticity on large-scale B-mode science
Nadia Dachlythra, Kevin Wolz, Susanna Azzoni +17
The Simons Observatory (SO) Small Aperture Telescopes (SATs) will observe the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization at six frequency bands. Within these ba…
The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479
We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…
