Cosmological gravity on all scales II: Model independent modified gravity -body simulations

Sankarshana Srinivasan, Daniel B Thomas, Francesco Pace +1

Model-independent constraints on modified gravity models hitherto exist mainly on linear scales. A recently developed formalism presented a consistent parameterisation that is vali…

Blind Map Level Systematics Cleaning: A Quadratic Estimator Approach

Joel Williams, Nialh McCallum, Aditya Rotti +3

We present the first detailed case study using quadratic estimators (QE) to diagnose and remove systematics present in observed Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) maps. In this work…

Spin characterisation of systematics in CMB surveys -- a comprehensive formalism

Nialh McCallum, Daniel B. Thomas, Michael L. Brown +1

The CMB -mode polarisation signal -- both the primordial gravitational wave signature and the signal sourced by lensing -- is subject to many contaminants from systematic effect…

SuperCLASS -- III. Weak lensing from radio and optical observations in Data Release 1

Ian Harrison, Michael L. Brown, Ben Tunbridge +17

We describe the first results on weak gravitational lensing from the SuperCLASS survey: the first survey specifically designed to measure the weak lensing effect in radio-wavelengt…

Controlling systematics in ground-based CMB surveys with partial boresight rotation

Daniel B. Thomas, Nialh McCallum, Michael L. Brown

Future CMB experiments will require exquisite control of systematics in order to constrain the -mode polarisation power spectrum. One class of systematics that requires careful…

Using large scale structure data and a halo model to constrain Generalised Dark Matter

Daniel B Thomas, Michael Kopp, Katarina Markovič

Constraints on the properties of the cosmological dark matter have previously been obtained in a model-independent fashion using the Generalised Dark Matter (GDM) framework. Here w…
