Planck 2013 results. XIX. The integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect

Based on cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps from the 2013 Planck Mission data release, this paper presents the detection of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect, that is, the correlation between the CMB and large-scale evolving gravitational potenti ...

Planck 2013 results. XXV. Searches for cosmic strings and other topological defects

Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen

Planck data have been used to provide stringent new constraints on cosmic strings and other defects. We describe forecasts of the CMB power spectrum induced by cosmic strings, calculating these from network models and simulations using line-of-sight Boltzm ...

Planck 2013 results. V. LFI calibration

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues

We discuss the methods employed to photometrically calibrate the data acquired by the Low Frequency Instrument on Planck. Our calibration is based on a combination of the orbital dipole plus the solar dipole, caused respectively by the motion of the Planck ...

Planck 2013 results. I. Overview of products and scientific results

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Slobodan Ilic

The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, dedicated to studying the early Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched 14 May 2009 and has been scanning the microwave and submillimetre sky continuously since 12 August 2009. In March 2013, ESA an ...

Planck CMB nomalies: astrophysical and cosmological secondary effects and the curse of masking

Anaïs Marie Rassat

Large-scale anomalies have been reported in CMB data with both WMAP and Planck data. These could be due to foreground residuals and or systematic effects, though their confirmation with Planck data suggests they are not due to a problem in the WMAP or Plan ...

Removal of two large-scale cosmic microwave background anomalies after subtraction of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect

Anaïs Marie Rassat

Context. Although there is currently a debate over the significance of the claimed large-scale anomalies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), their existence is not totally dismissed. In parallel to the debate over their statistical significance, rece ...

Conservative constraints on early cosmology with MONTE PYTHON

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren

Models for the latest stages of the cosmological evolution rely on a less solid theoretical and observational ground than the description of earlier stages like BBN and recombination. As suggested in a previous work by Vonlanthen et al., it is possible to ...

Cosmological constraints on Lorentz violating dark energy

Julien Lesgourgues, Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Benjamin Audren

The role of Lorentz invariance as a fundamental symmetry of nature has been lately reconsidered in different approaches to quantum gravity. It is thus natural to study whether other puzzles of physics may be solved within these proposals. This may be the c ...

Load response due to local and global indeterminacies of FRP-deck bridges

Thomas Keller

In a cellular FRP deck-on-beam bridge, the deck's load response is influenced by the cellular frame's local indeterminacy and by the global indeterminacy due to multiple beams at each support. Thus, the stiffness distributions for both levels of indetermin ...

CMB photons shedding light on dark matter

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren

The annihilation or decay of Dark Matter (DM) particles could affect the thermal history of the universe and leave an observable signature in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. We update constraints on the annihilation rate of DM particles in ...

Development of the Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the Precise Measurement of the Cosmic Ray Positron Fraction with PEBS

Lesya Shchutska

Since almost a century ago, it is known that a quarter of the energy density in the Universe is represented by the dark matter which has been seen only through gravitational interaction. Despite of intensive searches for a dark matter constituent in differ ...

Data compression on the sphere

Yves Wiaux, Jason Douglas McEwen

Large data-sets defined on the sphere arise in many fields. In particular, recent and forthcoming observations of the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) made on the celestial sphere contain approximately three and fifty mega-pixels respe ...
