Planck intermediate results. LVI. Detection of the CMB dipole through modulation of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect: Eppur si muove II
Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, M. Ashdown +126
The largest temperature anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the dipole, which has been measured with increasing accuracy for more than three decades, particularl…
Cosmology in front of the background: studying the growth of structure at CMB wavelengths
Douglas Scott, J. Richard Bond, Scott Chapman +6
Canada has thriving communities in CMB (cosmic microwave background) studies, cosmology and submillimetre (submm) astronomy, with involvement in many facilities that featured promi…
Planck 2018 results. VII. Isotropy and Statistics of the CMB
Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, M. Ashdown +147
Analysis of the Planck 2018 data set indicates that the statistical properties of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies are in excellent agreement with pre…
Towards detection of relativistic effects in galaxy number counts using kSZ Tomography
Dagoberto Contreras, Matthew C. Johnson, James B. Mertens
High-resolution, low-noise observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) planned for the near-future will enable new cosmological probes based on re-scattered CMB photons -…
Cosmological constraints on sterile neutrino oscillations from Planck
Alan M. Knee, Dagoberto Contreras, Douglas Scott
Both particle physics experiments and cosmological surveys can constrain the properties of sterile neutrinos, but do so with different parameterizations that naturally use differen…
Planck 2018 results. X. Constraints on inflation
Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, F. Arroja +173
We report on the implications for cosmic inflation of the 2018 Release of the Planck CMB anisotropy measurements. The results are fully consistent with the two previous Planck cosm…
