A data-driven prediction for the primordial deuterium abundance

Timothy Launders, Cara Giovanetti, Hongwan Liu

We predict the primordial deuterium abundance using a novel, fully data-driven approach, where we use Gaussian process regression to fit experimental nuclear reaction data for ,…

ABCMB: A Python+JAX Package for the Cosmic Microwave Background Power Spectrum

Zilu Zhou, Cara Giovanetti, Hongwan Liu

We present ABCMB, a differentiable Einstein-Boltzmann solver for the cosmic microwave background (CMB). ABCMB is an analysis-ready code package capturing important effects to linea…

Constraining Dark Acoustic Oscillations with the High-Redshift UV Luminosity Function

Jared Barron, David Curtin, Hongwan Liu +3

Dark acoustic oscillations (DAOs) in the matter power spectrum can arise in many different dark sector models, and can imprint on a variety of cosmological observables. In this wor…

Dynamical Heating from Dark Compact Objects and Axion Minihalos: Implications for the 21-cm Signal

Badal Bhalla, Aurora Ireland, Hongwan Liu +2

The temperature of baryons at the end of the cosmic dark ages can be inferred from observations of the 21-cm hyperfine transition in neutral hydrogen. Any energy injection from the…

Dark Photons in the Radio Sky: II. Resonant Conversions in the Intergalactic Medium

Ethan Baker, Hongwan Liu

This is the second in a pair of papers forecasting the sensitivity of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to dark photons, a highly motivated, simple extension of the Standard Model.…

Dark Photons in the Radio Sky: I. Resonant Conversions in Halos

Ethan Baker, Hongwan Liu

Mixing between dark photons and visible photons leads to substantial anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background due to resonant conversions of visible photons into dark photon…

Constraints on dark photon dark matter from Lyman- forest simulations and an ultra-high signal-to-noise quasar spectrum

Andrea Trost, James S. Bolton, Andrea Caputo +3

The ultralight dark photon is a well-motivated, hypothetical dark matter candidate. In a dilute plasma, they can resonantly convert into photons, and heat up the intergalactic medi…

Cosmological Parameter Estimation with a Joint-Likelihood Analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

Cara Giovanetti, Mariangela Lisanti, Hongwan Liu +2

We present the first joint-likelihood analysis of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data. Bayesian inference is performed on the baryon abundance…
