The Simons Observatory: gain, bandpass and polarization-angle calibration requirements for B-mode searches
Maximilian H. Abitbol, David Alonso, Sara M. Simon +45
We quantify the calibration requirements for systematic uncertainties for next-generation ground-based observatories targeting the large-angle -mode polarization of the Cosmic M…
Cosmic shear power spectra in practice
Andrina Nicola, Carlos García-García, David Alonso +4
Cosmic shear is one of the most powerful probes of Dark Energy, targeted by several current and future galaxy surveys. Lensing shear, however, is only sampled at the positions of g…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Modeling the Gas Thermodynamics in BOSS CMASS galaxies from Kinematic and Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Measurements
Stefania Amodeo, Nicholas Battaglia, Emmanuel Schaan +52
The thermal and kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects (tSZ, kSZ) probe the thermodynamic properties of the circumgalactic and intracluster medium (CGM and ICM) of galaxies, groups,…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Combined kinematic and thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements from BOSS CMASS and LOWZ halos
Emmanuel Schaan, Simone Ferraro, Stefania Amodeo +55
The scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons off the free-electron gas in galaxies and clusters leaves detectable imprints on high resolution CMB maps: the thermal a…
CMB-S4: Forecasting Constraints on Primordial Gravitational Waves
S4 Collaboration, Kevork Abazajian, Graeme E. Addison +233
CMB-S4---the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment---is set to significantly advance the sensitivity of CMB measurements and enhance our underst…
Probing galaxy evolution in massive clusters using ACT and DES: splashback as a cosmic clock
Susmita Adhikari, Tae-hyeon Shin, Bhuvnesh Jain +113
We measure the projected number density profiles of galaxies and the splashback feature in clusters selected by the Sunyaev--Zeldovich (SZ) effect from the Advanced Atacama Cosmolo…
