A new light on 21 cm intensity fluctuations from the dark ages
Yacine Ali-Haïmoud, P. Daniel Meerburg, Sihan Yuan
Fluctuations of the 21 cm brightness temperature before the formation of the first stars hold the promise of becoming a high-precision cosmological probe in the future. The growth…
Searching for Oscillations in the Primordial Power Spectrum: Constraints from Planck (Paper II)
P. Daniel Meerburg, David N. Spergel, Benjamin D. Wandelt
We apply our recently developed code to search for resonance features in the Planck CMB temperature data. We search both for log spaced oscillations or linear spaced oscillations a…
Searching for Oscillations in the Primordial Power Spectrum: Perturbative Approach (Paper I)
P. Daniel Meerburg, David N. Spergel, Benjamin D. Wandelt
In this first of two papers, we present a new method for searching for oscillatory features in the primordial power spectrum. A wide variety of models predict these features in one…
Probing patchy reionization through tau-21cm correlation statistics
Pieter Daniel Meerburg, Cora Dvorkin, David N. Spergel
We consider the cross-correlation between free electrons and neutral hydrogen during the epoch of reionization. The free electrons are traced by the optical depth to reionization t…
