Exploring the Non-Gaussianity of the Cosmic Infrared Background and Its Weak Gravitational Lensing
Jaemyoung Lee, J. Richard Bond, Pavel Motloch +2
Gravitational lensing deflects the paths of photons, altering the statistics of cosmic backgrounds and distorting their information content. We take the Cosmic Infrared Background…
Observational search for primordial chirality violations using galaxy angular momenta
Pavel Motloch, Ue-Li Pen, Hao-Ran Yu
We search for evidence of primordial chirality violation in the galaxy data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey by comparing how strongly directions of galaxy angular momenta correla…
Correlating galaxy shapes and initial conditions: an observational study
Pavel Motloch, Ue-Li Pen, Hao-Ran Yu
Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey we study correlations between directions of galaxy angular momenta determined from images of spiral galaxies and various observables de…
Cross-correlating 2MRS galaxies with UHECR flux from Pierre Auger Observatory
Pavel Motloch
We apply a recently proposed cross-correlation power spectrum technique to study relationship between the ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHERC) flux from the Pierre Auger Observator…
Testing consistency of in the Planck data
Pavel Motloch
We find that the cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization power spectra measurements from Planck constrain the parameter mostly through: A) the amplitude o…
Hubble constant difference between CMB lensing and BAO measurements
W. L. Kimmy Wu, Pavel Motloch, Wayne Hu +1
We apply a tension metric , the update difference in mean parameters, to understand the source of the difference in the measured Hubble constant inferred with…
Observational detection of correlation between galaxy spins and initial conditions
Pavel Motloch, Hao-Ran Yu, Ue-Li Pen +1
Galaxy spins can be predicted from the initial conditions in the early Universe through the tidal tensor twist. In simulations, their directions are well preserved through cosmic t…
Lensing-like tensions in the Planck legacy release
Pavel Motloch, Wayne Hu
We analyze the final release of the Planck satellite data to constrain the gravitational lensing potential in a model-independent manner. The amount of lensing determined from the…
PICO: Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins
S. Hanany, M. Alvarez, E. Artis +79
The Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins (PICO) is a proposed probe-scale space mission consisting of an imaging polarimeter operating in frequency bands between 20 and 800 GHz. W…
Probing Primordial Chirality with Galaxy Spins
Hao-Ran Yu, Pavel Motloch, Ue-Li Pen +5
Chiral symmetry is maximally violated in weak interactions, and such microscopic asymmetries in the early Universe might leave observable imprints on astrophysical scales without v…
The Next Generation of Cosmological Measurements with Type Ia Supernovae
Dan Scolnic, Saul Perlmutter, Greg Aldering +56
While Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are one of the most mature cosmological probes, the next era promises to be extremely exciting in the number of different ways SNe Ia are used to…
Primordial Non-Gaussianity
P. Daniel Meerburg, Daniel Green, Muntazir Abidi +175
Our current understanding of the Universe is established through the pristine measurements of structure in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the distribution and shapes of…
Messengers from the Early Universe: Cosmic Neutrinos and Other Light Relics
Daniel Green, Mustafa A. Amin, Joel Meyers +136
The hot dense environment of the early universe is known to have produced large numbers of baryons, photons, and neutrinos. These extreme conditions may have also produced other lo…
Science from an Ultra-Deep, High-Resolution Millimeter-Wave Survey
Neelima Sehgal, Ho Nam Nguyen, Joel Meyers +66
Opening up a new window of millimeter-wave observations that span frequency bands in the range of 30 to 500 GHz, survey half the sky, and are both an order of magnitude deeper (abo…
PICO: Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins
