Observing the Evolution of the Universe
James Aguirre, Alexandre Amblard, Amjad Ashoorioon +172
How did the universe evolve? The fine angular scale (l>1000) temperature and polarization anisotropies in the CMB are a Rosetta stone for understanding the evolution of the univers…
Non-Gaussianity as a Probe of the Physics of the Primordial Universe and the Astrophysics of the Low Redshift Universe
E. Komatsu, N. Afshordi, N. Bartolo +58
A new and powerful probe of the origin and evolution of structures in the Universe has emerged and been actively developed over the last decade. In the coming decade, non-Gaussiani…
Optimal limits on f_{NL}^{local} from WMAP 5-year data
Kendrick M. Smith, Leonardo Senatore, Matias Zaldarriaga
We have applied the optimal estimator for f_{NL}^{local} to the 5 year WMAP data. Marginalizing over the amplitude of foreground templates we get -4 < f_{NL}^{local} < 80 at 95% CL…
Cosmological Perturbations at Second Order and Recombination Perturbed
Leonardo Senatore, Svetlin Tassev, Matias Zaldarriaga
We derive the full set of second-order equations governing the evolution of cosmological perturbations, including the effects of the first-order electron number density perturbatio…
The Volume of the Universe after Inflation and de Sitter Entropy
Sergei Dubovsky, Leonardo Senatore, Giovanni Villadoro
We calculate the probability distribution for the volume of the Universe after slow-roll inflation both in the eternal and in the non-eternal regime. Far from the eternal regime th…
CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Probing Inflation with CMB Polarization
Daniel Baumann, Mark G. Jackson, Peter Adshead +56
We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measu…
