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…
Optimising large galaxy surveys for ISW detection
Marian Douspis, Patricia G. Castro, Chiara Caprini +1
We report on investigations of the power of next generation cosmic microwave background and large scale structure surveys in constraining the nature of dark energy through the cros…
Non-Gaussianity in the WMAP data using the peak-peak correlation function
R. Tojeiro, P. G. Castro, A. F. Heavens +1
We present a search for non-Gaussianity in the WMAP first-year data using the two-point correlation function of maxima and minima in the temperature map. We find evidence for non-G…
Weak lensing analysis in three dimensions
P. G. Castro, A. F. Heavens, T. D. Kitching
We present a comprehensive full-sky 3-dimensional analysis of the weak-lensing fields and their corresponding power spectra. Using the formalism of spin-weight spherical harmonics…
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…
Scale of Homogeneity of the Universe from WMAP
Patricia G. Castro, Marian Douspis, Pedro G. Ferreira
We review the physics of the Grishchuck-Zel'dovich effect which describes the impact of large amplitude, super-horizon gravitational field fluctuations on the Cosmic Microwave Back…
