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…
Quantum modes in DBI inflation: exact solutions and constraints from vacuum selection
William H. Kinney, Konstantinos Tzirakis
We study a two-parameter family of exactly solvable inflation models with variable sound speed, and derive a corresponding exact expression for the spectrum of curvature perturbati…
Inflation after WMAP3
William H. Kinney
I discuss the current status of inflationary cosmology in light of the recent WMAP 3-year data release. The basic predictions of inflation are all supported by the data. Inflation…
Limits on primordial power spectrum resolution: An inflationary flow analysis
Brian A. Powell, William H. Kinney
We investigate the ability of current CMB data to reliably constrain the form of the primordial power spectrum generated during inflation. We attempt to identify more exotic power…
Understanding selection effects in observed samples of cataclysmic variables
Magaretha L. Pretorius, Christian Knigge, Ulrich Kolb
Large differences between the properties of the known sample of cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) and the predictions of the theory of binary star evolution have long been recognise…
