Are black holes over-produced during preheating?
Teruaki Suyama, Takahiro Tanaka, Bruce Bassett +1
We provide a simple but robust argument that primordial black hole (PBH) production generically does {\em not} exceed astrophysical bounds during the resonant preheating phase afte…
Dark energy reflections in the redshift-space quadrupole
Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Bruce A. Bassett, Hiroaki Nishioka
We show that the redshift-space quadrupole will be a powerful tool for constraining dark energy even if the baryon oscillations are missing from the usual monopole power spectrum a…
Testing for double inflation with WMAP
David Parkinson, Shinji Tsujikawa, Bruce A. Bassett +1
With the WMAP data we can now begin to test realistic models of inflation involving multiple scalar fields. These naturally lead to correlated adiabatic and isocurvature (entropy)…
Designer Cosmology
Bruce A. Bassett, David Parkinson, Robert C. Nichol
We highlight the flexibility of the IPSO experiment-design framework by contrasting its application to CMB, weak lensing and redshift surveys. We illustrate the latter with a 10 pa…
The essence of quintessence and the cost of compression
Bruce A. Bassett, Pier Stefano Corasaniti, Martin Kunz
Standard two-parameter compressions of the infinite dimensional dark energy model space show crippling limitations even with current SN-Ia data. Firstly they cannot cope with rapid…
Eyes Wide Open - Optimising Cosmological Surveys in a Crowded Market
Bruce A. Bassett
Optimising the major next-generation cosmological surveys (such as {\em SNAP, KAOS etc...}) is a key problem given our ignorance of the physics underlying cosmic acceleration and t…
The foundations of observing dark energy dynamics with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe
P. S. Corasaniti, M. Kunz, D. Parkinson +2
Detecting dark energy dynamics is the main quest of current dark energy research. Addressing the issue demands a fully consistent analysis of CMB, large scale structure and SN-Ia d…
Dark Energy in Chains
David Parkinson, Bruce A. Bassett, Edmund J. Copeland +2
Dark energy affects the CMB through its perturbations and affects both CMB and Sn-Ia through its background evolution. Using recent CMB and Sn-Ia data sets, together with the most…
A Tale of Two Distances
Martin Kunz, Bruce A. Bassett
There are two basic ways to measure physical distances in cosmology: One based on standard candles and one based on standard rulers. Comparing current data for each method allows u…
