SPIDER: a balloon-borne CMB polarimeter for large angular scales
J. P. Filippini, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +41
We describe SPIDER, a balloon-borne instrument to map the polarization of the millimeter-wave sky with degree angular resolution. Spider consists of six monochromatic refracting te…
Rotation of galaxies as a signature of cosmic strings in weak lensing surveys
Daniel B. Thomas, Carlo R. Contaldi, Joao Magueijo
Vector perturbations sourced by topological defects can generate rotations in the lensing of background galaxies. This is a potential smoking gun for the existence of defects since…
Subdegree Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Signal from Multifrequency BOOMERanG observations
M. Veneziani, A. Amblard, A. Cooray +36
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect is the inverse Compton-scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons by hot electrons in the intervening gas throughout the universe. T…
Reconstruction of the Primordial Power Spectrum using Temperature and Polarisation Data from Multiple Experiments
Gavin Nicholson, Carlo R. Contaldi
We develop a method to reconstruct the primordial power spectrum, P(k), using both temperature and polarisation data from the joint analysis of a number of Cosmic Microwave Backgro…
Observing the Evolution of the Universe
James Aguirre, Alexandre Amblard, Amjad Ashoorioon +172
How did the universe evolve? The fine angular scale (l>1000) temperature and polarization anisotropies in the CMB are a Rosetta stone for understanding the evolution of the univers…
The Origin of the Universe as Revealed Through the Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background
S. Dodelson, R. Easther, S. Hanany +61
Modern cosmology has sharpened questions posed for millennia about the origin of our cosmic habitat. The age-old questions have been transformed into two pressing issues primed for…
