QUBIC Technical Design Report

J. Aumont, S. Banfi, P. Battaglia +96

QUBIC is an instrument aiming at measuring the B mode polarisation anisotropies at medium scales angular scales (30-200 multipoles). The search for the primordial CMB B-mode polari…

Planck intermediate results. XLIII. The spectral energy distribution of dust in clusters of galaxies

Planck Collaboration, R. Adam, P. A. R. Ade +177

Although infrared (IR) overall dust emission from clusters of galaxies has been statistically detected using data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), it has not been p…

Planck intermediate results. XVI. Profile likelihoods for cosmological parameters

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +180

We explore the 2013 Planck likelihood function with a high-precision multi-dimensional minimizer (Minuit). This allows a refinement of the Lambda-cdm best-fit solution with respect…

Planck 2013 results. XXIII. Isotropy and statistics of the CMB

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +252

The two fundamental assumptions of the standard cosmological model - that the initial fluctuations are statistically isotropic and Gaussian - are rigorously tested using maps of th…

Planck 2013 results. XX. Cosmology from Sunyaev-Zeldovich cluster counts

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +252

We present constraints on cosmological parameters using number counts as a function of redshift for a sub-sample of 189 galaxy clusters from the Planck SZ (PSZ) catalogue. The PSZ…
