An Accurate Analytic Model for the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich One-Point PDF

Leander Thiele, J. Colin Hill, Kendrick M. Smith

Non-Gaussian statistics of late-time cosmological fields contain information beyond that captured in the power spectrum. Here we focus on one such example: the one-point probabilit…

Transverse Velocities with the Moving Lens Effect

Selim C. Hotinli, Joel Meyers, Neal Dalal +6

Gravitational potentials which change in time induce fluctuations in the observed cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature. Cosmological structure moving transverse to our lin…

Constraining local non-Gaussianities with kSZ tomography

Moritz Münchmeyer, Mathew S. Madhavacheril, Simone Ferraro +2

Kinetic Sunyaev Zel'dovich (kSZ) tomography provides a powerful probe of the radial velocity field of matter in the Universe. By cross-correlating a high resolution CMB experiment…

KSZ tomography and the bispectrum

Kendrick M. Smith, Mathew S. Madhavacheril, Moritz Münchmeyer +3

Several statistics have been proposed for measuring the kSZ effect by combining the small-scale CMB with galaxy surveys. We review five such statistics, and show that they are all…

Inflation and Early Dark Energy with a Stage II Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment

Cosmic Visions 21 cm Collaboration, Réza Ansari, Evan J. Arena +29

This white paper envisions a revolutionary post-DESI, post-LSST dark energy program based on intensity mapping of the redshifted 21cm emission line from neutral hydrogen at radio f…

The Simons Observatory: Science goals and forecasts

The Simons Observatory Collaboration, Peter Ade, James Aguirre +247

The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new cosmic microwave background experiment being built on Cerro Toco in Chile, due to begin observations in the early 2020s. We describe the scient…
