Parity violation constraints using 2006-2007 QUaD CMB polarization spectra
QUaD Collaboration, E. Y. S. Wu, P. Ade +29
We constrain parity-violating interactions to the surface of last scattering using spectra from the QUaD experiment's second and third seasons of observations by searching for a po…
QUaD: A High-Resolution Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimeter
QUaD collaboration, J. R. Hinderks, P. Ade +36
We describe the QUaD experiment, a millimeter-wavelength polarimeter designed to observe the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) from a site at the South Pole. The experiment compris…
Second and third season QUaD CMB temperature and polarization power spectra
QUaD collaboration, C. Pryke, P. Ade +29
We report results from the second and third seasons of observation with the QUaD experiment. Angular power spectra of the Cosmic Microwave Background are derived for both temperatu…
First season QUaD CMB temperature and polarization power spectra
QUaD Collaboration, P. Ade, J. Bock +27
QUaD is a bolometric CMB polarimeter sited at the South Pole, operating at frequencies of 100 and 150 GHz. In this paper we report preliminary results from the first season of oper…
CMB temperature and polarisation pseudo-Cl estimators and covariances
M. L. Brown, P. G. Castro, A. N. Taylor
We develop the pseudo-Cl method for reconstructing the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization auto- and cross-power spectra, and estimate the pseudo-Cl cova…
Scientific optimization of a ground-based CMB polarization experiment
M. Bowden, A. N. Taylor, K. M. Ganga +20
We investigate the science goals achievable with the upcoming generation of ground-based Cosmic Microwave Background polarization experiments and calculate the optimal sky coverage…
Measurement of intrinsic alignments in galaxy ellipticities
M. L. Brown, A. N. Taylor, N. C. Hambly +1
We measure the alignment of galaxy ellipticities in the local universe over a range of scales using digitized photographic data from the SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey. We find for a magni…
Evolution of the probability distribution function of galaxies in redshift-space
Peter Watts, Andrew Taylor
We present a new analytic calculation for the redshift-space evolution of the 1-point galaxy Probability Distribution Function (PDF). The nonlinear evolution of the matter density…
Evolution of the cosmological density distribution function
Andrew Taylor, Peter Watts
We present a new calculation for the evolution of the 1-point Probability Distribution Function (PDF) of the cosmological density field based on an exact statistical treatment. Usi…
Self-consistent Gravitational Lens Reconstruction
S. Dye, A. Taylor
We present a new method for directly determining accurate, self-consistent cluster lens mass and shear maps in the strong lensing regime from the magnification bias of background g…
Gravitational Lens Magnification and the Mass of Abell 1689
A. N. Taylor, S. Dye, T. J. Broadhurst +2
We present the first application of lens magnification to measure the absolute mass of a galaxy cluster; Abell 1689. The absolute mass of a galaxy cluster can be measured by the gr…
Design and analysis of redshift surveys
A. F. Heavens, A. N. Taylor
In this paper we consider methods of analysis and optimal design of redshift surveys. In the first part, we develop a formalism for analysing galaxy redshift surveys which are esse…
