On measuring the gravitational-wave background using Pulsar Timing Arrays
Rutger van Haasteren, Yuri Levin, Patrick McDonald +1
Long-term precise timing of Galactic millisecond pulsars holds great promise for measuring the long-period (months-to-years) astrophysical gravitational waves. Several gravitationa…
Primordial non-Gaussianity: large-scale structure signature in the perturbative bias model
Patrick McDonald
I compute the effect on the power spectrum of tracers of the large-scale mass-density field (e.g., galaxies) of primordial non-Gaussianity of the form Phi=phi+fNL (phi-<phi^2>)+gNL…
Effect of the intergalactic environment on the observability of Ly-alpha emitters during reionization
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro, Patrick McDonald +2
Observations of high-redshift Ly-alpha sources are a major tool for studying the high-redshift Universe. We discuss the effect of the reionizing intergalactic medium on the observa…
Reionization: Characteristic Scales, Topology and Observability
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro, Garrelt Mellema +3
Recently the numerical simulations of the process of reionization of the universe at z>6 have made a qualitative leap forward, reaching sufficient sizes and dynamic range to determ…
