Reconstructing Patchy Reionization from the Cosmic Microwave Background
Cora Dvorkin, Kendrick M. Smith
We introduce a new statistical technique for extracting the inhomogeneous reionization signal from future high-sensitivity measurements of the cosmic microwave background temperatu…
CMBPol Mission Concept Study: A Mission to Map our Origins
Daniel Baumann, Asantha Cooray, Scott Dodelson +7
Quantum mechanical metric fluctuations during an early inflationary phase of the universe leave a characteristic imprint in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB…
No evidence for the cold spot in the NVSS radio survey
Kendrick M. Smith, Dragan Huterer
We revisit recent claims that there is a "cold spot" in both number counts and brightness of radio sources in the NVSS survey, with location coincident with the previously detected…
Detection of Gravitational Lensing in the Cosmic Microwave Background
Kendrick M. Smith, Oliver Zahn, Olivier Dore
Gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), a long-standing prediction of the standard cosmolgical model, is ultimately expected to be an important source of co…
Algorithms for bispectra: forecasting, optimal analysis, and simulation
Kendrick M. Smith, Matias Zaldarriaga
We propose a factorizability ansatz for angular bispectra which permits fast algorithms for forecasting, analysis, and simulation, yet is general enough to encompass many interesti…
A general solution to the E-B mixing problem
Kendrick M. Smith, Matias Zaldarriaga
We derive a general ansatz for optimizing pseudo-C_l estimators used to measure CMB anisotropy power spectra, and apply it to the recently-proposed pure pseudo-C_l formalism, to ob…
