On cosmological observables in a swiss-cheese universe (Conference proceeding)
Valerio Marra
By means of a toy Swiss-cheese cosmological model we will discuss how to set up and carry out in a physically meaningful way the idea of back-reaction, according to which dark ener…
Latest inflation model constraints from cosmic microwave background measurements
William H. Kinney, Edward W. Kolb, Alessandro Melchiorri +1
In this addendum to Phys.Rev. D74 (2006) 023502, we present an update of cosmological constraints on single-field inflation in light of the Wilkinson Microwave Ansiotropy Probe sat…
On cosmological observables in a swiss-cheese universe
Valerio Marra, Edward W. Kolb, Sabino Matarrese +1
Photon geodesics are calculated in a swiss-cheese model, where the cheese is made of the usual Friedmann-Robertson-Walker solution and the holes are constructed from a Lemaitre-Tol…
CMB temperature anisotropies from third order gravitational perturbations
G. D'Amico, N. Bartolo, S. Matarrese +1
In this paper we present a complete computation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies up to third order from gravitational perturbations accounting for scalar, vect…
Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies up to Second Order
Nicola Bartolo, Sabino Matarrese, Antonio Riotto
These lecture notes present the computation of the full system of Boltzmann equations describing the evolution of the photon, baryon and cold dark matter fluids up to second order…
B-mode polarization of the CMB from the second-order photon quadrupole
Nicola Bartolo, Sabino Matarrese, Silvia Mollerach +1
We study a new contribution to the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background induced at the epoch of recombination by the second-order quadrupole moment of the photon distrib…
