Cosmic Microwave Background Acoustic Peak Locations
Zhen Pan, Lloyd Knox, Brigid Mulroe +1
The Planck collaboration has measured the temperature and polarization of the cosmic microwave background well enough to determine the locations of eight peaks in the temperature (…
The information content of cosmic microwave background anisotropies
Douglas Scott, Dagoberto Contreras, Ali Narimani +1
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) contains perturbations that are close to Gaussian and isotropic. This means that its information content, in the sense of the ability to const…
Planck 2015 results. XI. CMB power spectra, likelihoods, and robustness of parameters
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. Arnaud +221
This paper presents the Planck 2015 likelihoods, statistical descriptions of the 2-point correlations of CMB data, using the hybrid approach employed previously: pixel-based at $\e…
A Farewell to Falsifiability
Douglas Scott, Ali Frolop, Ali Narimani +1
Some of the most obviously correct physical theories - namely string theory and the multiverse - make no testable predictions, leading many to question whether we should accept som…
Cosmic Mnemonics
Douglas Scott, Ali Narimani, Don N. Page
Our current description of the large-scale Universe is now known with a precision undreamt of a generation ago. Within the simple standard cosmological model only six basic paramet…
Minimal parameterizations for modified gravity
Ali Narimani, Douglas Scott
The increasing precision of cosmological data provides us with an opportunity to test general relativity (GR) on the largest accessible scales. Parameterizing modified gravity mode…
