Ultra-high-energy-cosmic-ray hot spots from tidal disruption events
Daniel N. Pfeffer, Ely D. Kovetz, Marc Kamionkowski
We consider the possibility that tidal disruption events (TDEs) caused by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in nearby galaxies can account for the ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray (UHEC…
Search for Compensated Isocurvature Perturbations with Planck Power Spectra
Julian B. Muñoz, Daniel Grin, Liang Dai +2
In the standard inflationary scenario, primordial perturbations are adiabatic. The amplitudes of most types of isocurvature perturbations are generally constrained by current data…
Flaring of tidally compressed dark-matter clumps
Yacine Ali-Haïmoud, Ely D. Kovetz, Joseph Silk
We explore the physics and observational consequences of tidal compression events (TCEs) of dark-matter clumps (DMCs) by supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Our analytic calculations…
The Quest for B Modes from Inflationary Gravitational Waves
Marc Kamionkowski, Ely D. Kovetz
The search for the curl component (B mode) in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization induced by inflationary gravitational waves is described. The canonical single-fiel…
Heating of Baryons due to Scattering with Dark Matter During the Dark Ages
Julian B. Muñoz, Ely D. Kovetz, Yacine Ali-Haïmoud
We explore the effects of elastic scattering between dark matter and baryons on the 21-cm signal during the dark ages. In particular, we consider a dark-matter---baryon interaction…
The high redshift star-formation history from carbon-monoxide intensity maps
Patrick C. Breysse, Ely D. Kovetz, Marc Kamionkowski
We demonstrate how cosmic star-formation history can be measured with one-point statistics of carbon-monoxide intensity maps. Using a P(D) analysis, the luminosity function of CO-e…
