Euclid: The search for primordial features

Yiming Li, Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

Primordial features, in particular oscillatory signals, imprinted in the primordial power spectrum of density perturbations represent a clear window of opportunity for detecting new physics at high-energy scales. Future spectroscopic and photometric measur ...

Strong and micro lensing in distant quasars

Eric Gérard Guy Paic

Most large galaxies contain Super Massive Black Holes at their centers, drawing matter nearby to form swirling accretion disks emitting electromagnetic radiation. These are Active Galactic Nuclei. The brightest quasars are the most luminous Universe object ...

Impact of thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect on cross-correlations between Planck cosmic microwave background lensing and SDSS galaxy density fields

Tianyue Chen

Residual foreground contamination by thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect from galaxy clusters in cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps propagates into the reconstructed CMB lensing field, and thus biases the intrinsic cross-correlation between CMB lens ...

Very massive tracers and higher derivative biases

Valentin Mauerhofer

Most of the upcoming cosmological information will come from analyzing the clustering of the Large Scale Structures (LSS) of the universe through LSS or CMB observations. It is therefore essential to be able to understand their behavior with exquisite prec ...

Constraining dark photons and their connection to 21 cm cosmology with CMB data

Kyrylo Bondarenko

In the inhomogeneous Universe, the cosmological conversion of dark photons into ordinary photons (and vice versa) may happen at a great number of resonance redshifts. This alters the CMB observed energy spectrum and degree of small-scale anisotropies. We u ...

MAGIC observations of the February 2014 flare of 1ES 1011+496 and ensuing constraint of the EBL density

Thomas Günther Bretz

Context. During February-March 2014, the MAGIC telescopes observed the high-frequency peaked BL Lac 1ES 1011 + 496 (z = 0.212) in flaring state at very-high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV). The flux reached a level of more than ten times higher than any previous ...

Planck intermediate results XXX. The angular power spectrum of polarized dust emission at intermediate and high Galactic latitudes

Julien Lesgourgues

The polarized thermal emission from diffuse Galactic dust is the main foreground present in measurements of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at frequencies above 100 GHz. In this paper we exploit the uniqueness of the Planck HFI po ...

SPIDERS: the spectroscopic follow-up of X-ray-selected clusters of galaxies in SDSS-IV

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

SPIDERS (The SPectroscopic IDentification of eROSITA Sources) is a programme dedicated to the homogeneous and complete spectroscopic follow-up of X-ray active galactic nuclei and galaxy clusters over a large area (similar to 7500 deg(2)) of the extragalact ...

Neutrino masses and cosmology with Lyman-alpha forest power spectrum

Julien Lesgourgues

We present constraints on neutrino masses, the primordial fluctuation spectrum from inflation, and other parameters of the ACDM model, using the one-dimensional Ly alpha-forest power spectrum measured by [1] from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey ...

Robustness of cosmic neutrino background detection in the cosmic microwave background

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren

The existence of a cosmic neutrino background can be probed indirectly by CMB experiments, not only by measuring the background density of radiation in the universe, but also by searching for the typical signatures of the fluctuations of free-streaming spe ...

Constraint on neutrino masses from SDSS-III/BOSS Ly alpha forest and other cosmological probes

We present constraints on the parameters of the ACDM cosmological model in the presence of massive neutrinos, using the one-dimensional Ly alpha forest power spectrum obtained with the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky ...

Spectroscopic needs for imaging dark energy experiments

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Ongoing and near-future imaging-based dark energy experiments are critically dependent upon photometric redshifts (a.k.a. photo-z's): i.e., estimates of the redshifts of objects based only on flux information obtained through broad filters. Higher-quality, ...

We report the discovery of a gravitationally lensed hyperluminous infrared galaxy (intrinsic L-IR approximate to 10(13) L-circle dot) with strong radio emission (intrinsic L-1.4 GHz approximate to 10(25) WHz(-1)) at z = 2.553. The source was identified in ...

Effects of cosmic strings with delayed scaling on CMB anisotropy

The network of cosmic strings generated in a phase transition during inflation enters the scaling regime later than that of usual strings. If it occurs after the recombination, temperature anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at high multi ...
