Normal Parameters for an Analytic Description of the CMB Cosmological Parameter Likelihood
Mike Chu, Manoj Kaplinghat, Lloyd Knox
The normal parameters are a non--linear transformation of the cosmological parameters whose likelihood function is very well--approximated by a normal distribution. This transforma…
Probing the Reionization History of the Universe using the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization
M. Kaplinghat, M. Chu, Z. Haiman +3
The recent discovery of a Gunn--Peterson (GP) trough in the spectrum of the redshift 6.28 SDSS quasar has raised the tantalizing possibility that we have detected the reionization…
Rapid Calculation of Theoretical CMB Angular Power Spectra
Manoj Kaplinghat, Lloyd Knox, Constantinos Skordis
We have developed a fast method for predicting the angular power spectrum, C_l, of the cosmic microwave background given cosmological parameters and a primordial power spectrum of…
