High precision cosmology
Amedeo Balbi
I review the current status of cosmology as emerging from recent observations of cosmic microwave background anisotropies as well as from other sources of cosmological information.
CMB Polarization: Scientific Case and Data Analysis Issues
A. Balbi, P. Cabella, G. de Gasperis +2
We review the science case for studying CMB polarization. We then discuss the main issues related to the analysis of forth-coming polarized CMB data, such as those expected from ba…
What's Behind Acoustic Peaks in the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
C. Baccigalupi, A. Balbi, S. Matarrese +2
We give a brief review of the physics of acoustic oscillations in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. As an example of the impact of their detection in cosmology, we sh…
On the primordial helium content: CMB and stellar constraints
G. Bono, A. Balbi, S. Cassisi +2
We present the results of a joint investigation aimed at constraining the primordial He content () on the basis of both the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy and tw…
Constraints on flat cosmologies with tracking Quintessence from Cosmic Microwave Background observations
Carlo Baccigalupi, Amedeo Balbi, Sabino Matarrese +2
We constrain cosmological parameters in flat cosmologies with tracking dark energy (or Quintessence) using the existing data on Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. We p…
Making Maps Of The Cosmic Microwave Background: The MAXIMA Example
R. Stompor, A. Balbi, J. D. Borrill +10
This work describes Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data analysis algorithms and their implementations, developed to produce a pixelized map of the sky and a corresponding pixel-…
