Euclid: Searching for pair-instability supernovae with the Deep Survey

Yi Wang, Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Giovanni Longo

Pair-instability supernovae are theorized supernovae that have not yet been observationally confirmed. They are predicted to exist in low-metallicity environments. Because overall metallicity becomes lower at higher redshifts, deep near-infrared transient ...

The pre-launch Planck Sky Model: a model of sky emission at submillimetre to centimetre wavelengths

Julien Lesgourgues

We present the Planck Sky Model (PSM), a parametric model for generating all-sky, few arcminute resolution maps of sky emission at submillimetre to centimetre wavelengths, in both intensity and polarisation. Several options are implemented to model the cos ...
