Cosmic microwave anisotropies from BPS semilocal strings
Jon Urrestilla, Neil Bevis, Mark Hindmarsh +2
We present the first ever calculation of cosmic microwave background CMB anisotropy power spectra from semilocal cosmic strings, obtained via simulations of a classical field theor…
Why we need to see the dark matter to understand the dark energy
Martin Kunz
The cosmological concordance model contains two separate constituents which interact only gravitationally with themselves and everything else, the dark matter and the dark energy.…
Searching for non Gaussian signals in the BOOMERanG 2003 CMB maps
G. De Troia, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +38
We analyze the BOOMERanG 2003 (B03) 145 GHz temperature map to constrain the amplitude of a non Gaussian, primordial contribution to CMB fluctuations. We perform a pixel space anal…
Measuring the dark side (with weak lensing)
Luca Amendola, Martin Kunz, Domenico Sapone
We introduce a convenient parametrization of dark energy models that is general enough to include several modified gravity models and generalized forms of dark energy. In particula…
CMB polarization power spectra contributions from a network of cosmic strings
Neil Bevis, Mark Hindmarsh, Martin Kunz +1
We present the first calculation of the possible (local) cosmic string contribution to the cosmic microwave background polarization spectra from simulations of a string network (ra…
Comment on `Tainted evidence: cosmological model selection versus fitting', by Eric V. Linder and Ramon Miquel (astro-ph/0702542v2)
Andrew R Liddle, Pier Stefano Corasaniti, Martin Kunz +3
In astro-ph/0702542v2, Linder and Miquel seek to criticize the use of Bayesian model selection for data analysis and for survey forecasting and design. Their discussion is based on…
