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…
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…
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…
Supernovae, Lensed CMB and Dark Energy
Wayne Hu, Dragan Huterer, Kendrick M. Smith
Supernova distance and primary CMB anisotropy measurements provide powerful probes of the dark energy evolution in a flat universe but degrade substantially once curvature is margi…
Cosmological Information from Lensed CMB Power Spectra
Kendrick M. Smith, Wayne Hu, Manoj Kaplinghat
Gravitational lensing distorts the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization fields and encodes valuable information on distances and growth rates at intermedi…
