Testing physical models for dipolar asymmetry: from temperature to k space to lensing
J. P. Zibin, D. Contreras
One of the most intriguing hints of a departure from the standard cosmological model is a large-scale dipolar power asymmetry in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). If not a sta…
Planck 2015 results. XII. Full Focal Plane simulations
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +228
We present the 8th Full Focal Plane simulation set (FFP8), deployed in support of the Planck 2015 results. FFP8 consists of 10 fiducial mission realizations reduced to 18144 maps,…
Searching for concentric low variance circles in the cosmic microwave background
Adam DeAbreu, Dagoberto Contreras, Douglas Scott
In a recent paper, Gurzadyan & Penrose claim to have found directions in the sky around which there are multiple concentric sets of annuli with anomalously low variance in the cosm…
Planck 2015 results. XVI. Isotropy and statistics of the CMB
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +242
We test the statistical isotropy and Gaussianity of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies using observations made by the Planck satellite. Our results are based mainly…
Planck 2015 results. IX. Diffuse component separation: CMB maps
Planck Collaboration, R. Adam, P. A. R. Ade +236
We present foreground-reduced CMB maps derived from the full Planck data set in both temperature and polarization. Compared to the corresponding Planck 2013 temperature sky maps, t…
Planck 2015 results. XX. Constraints on inflation
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +244
We present the implications for cosmic inflation of the Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies in both temperature and polarization based on the…
