Detecting Bispectral Acoustic Oscillations from Inflation Using a New Flexible Estimator
Martin Bucher, Bartjan Van Tent, Carla Sofia Carvalho
We present a new flexible estimator for comparing theoretical templates for the predicted bispectrum of the CMB anisotropy to observations. This estimator, based on binning in harm…

Kink-Antikink Formation from an Oscillation Mode by Sudden Distortion of the Evolution Potential
C. S. Carvalho, L. Perivolaropoulos
We demonstrate numerically that an oscillation mode in 1+1 dimensions (eg a breather or an oscillon) can decay into a kink-antikink pair by a sudden distortion of the evolution pot…

Modelling non-Gaussianity from foreground contaminants
C. S. Carvalho
We introduce a general class of models for charaterizing the non-Gaussian properties of foreground contaminants in the cosmic microwave background with view towards the removal of…
