A giant radio halo in a low-mass SZ-selected galaxy cluster: ACT-CL J0256.5+0006

Kenda Knowles, Huib T. Intema, Andrew J. Baker +18

We present the detection of a giant radio halo (GRH) in the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ)-selected merging galaxy cluster ACT-CL J0256.5+0006 (), observed with the Giant Metre…

Testing Inflation with Large Scale Structure: Connecting Hopes with Reality

Marcelo Alvarez, Tobias Baldauf, J. Richard Bond +25

The statistics of primordial curvature fluctuations are our window into the period of inflation, where these fluctuations were generated. To date, the cosmic microwave background h…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Lensing of CMB Temperature and Polarization Derived from Cosmic Infrared Background Cross-Correlation

Alexander van Engelen, Blake D. Sherwin, Neelima Sehgal +47

We present a measurement of the gravitational lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization fields obtained by cross-correlating the reconstructed c…

Machine Learning Etudes in Astrophysics: Selection Functions for Mock Cluster Catalogs

Amir Hajian, Marcelo Alvarez, J. Richard Bond

Making mock simulated catalogs is an important component of astrophysical data analysis. Selection criteria for observed astronomical objects are often too complicated to be derive…
