The power spectrum of the CfA/SSRS UZC galaxy redshift survey
Nikhil Padmanabhan, Max Tegmark, Andrew J. S. Hamilton
The combined CfA2/SSRS redshift catalog has recently been improved and made public. We compute the redshift-space power spectrum of this catalog using the regions at -2.5 < delta <…
The importance of quantum decoherence in brain processes
Max Tegmark
Based on a calculation of neural decoherence rates, we argue that that the degrees of freedom of the human brain that relate to cognitive processes should be thought of as a classi…
Foregrounds and Forecasts for the Cosmic Microwave Background
Max Tegmark, Daniel J. Eisenstein, Wayne Hu +1
One of the main challenges facing upcoming CMB experiments will be to distinguish the cosmological signal from foreground contamination. We present a comprehensive treatment of thi…
Decorrelating the Power Spectrum of Galaxies
A. J. S. Hamilton, Max Tegmark
It is shown how to decorrelate the (prewhitened) power spectrum measured from a galaxy survey into a set of high resolution uncorrelated band-powers. The treatment includes nonline…
Is the cosmic microwave background really non-Gaussian?
Benjamin C. Bromley, Max Tegmark
Two recent papers have claimed detection of non-Gaussian features in the COBE DMR sky maps of the cosmic microwave background. We confirm these results, but argue that Gaussianity…
