Stellar and Gaseous Disk Structures in Cosmological Galaxy Equilibrium Models
Ben Rathaus, Amiel Sternberg
We present "radially-resolved-equilibrium-models" for the growth of stellar and gaseous disks in cosmologically accreting massive halos. Our focus is on objects that evolve to reds…
The CMB Derivatives of Planck's Beam Asymmetry
Ben Rathaus, Ely D. Kovetz
We investigate the anisotropy in cosmic microwave background Planck maps due to the coupling between its beam asymmetry and uneven scanning strategy. Introducing a pixel space esti…
Studying the Peculiar Velocity Bulk Flow in a Sparse Survey of Type-Ia SNe
Ben Rathaus, Ely D. Kovetz, Nissan Itzhaki
Studies of the peculiar velocity bulk flow based on different tools and datasets have been consistent so far in their estimation of the direction of the flow, which also happens to…
Orbifold Line Topology and the Cosmic Microwave Background
Ben Rathaus, Assaf Ben-David, Nissan Itzhaki
We extend our study of a universe with a non-classical stringy topology, and consider an orbifold line topology, . This topology has a fi…
Searching for Stringy Topologies in the Cosmic Microwave Background
Assaf Ben-David, Ben Rathaus, Nissan Itzhaki
We consider a universe with a non-classical stringy topology that has fixed points. We concentrate on the simplest example, an orbifold point, and study its observable imprints on…
CMB Lensing and Giant Rings
Ben Rathaus, Nissan Itzhaki
We study the CMB lensing signature of a pre-inationary particle (PIP), assuming it is responsible for the giant rings anomaly that was found recently in the WMAP data. Simulating P…
How Sensitive is the CMB to a Single Lens?
Ben Rathaus, Anastasia Fialkov, Nissan Itzhaki
We study the imprints of a single lens, that breaks statistical isotropy, on the CMB and calculate the signal to noise ratio (S/N) for its detection. We emphasize the role of non-G…
