Systematic Distortion in Cosmic Microwave Background Maps
To minimize instrumentally induced systematic errors, cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy experiments measure temperature differences across the sky using paires of horn antennas, temperature map is recovered from temperature differences ...

Limits to Global Rotation and Shear From the COBE DMR 4-Year Sky Maps [PDF]
Small departures from a homogeneous isotropic spacetime create observable features in the large-scale anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background. We cross-correlate the maps of the cosmic microwave background anisotropy from the Cosmic Background ...

Cosmic Microwave Background Acoustic Peak Locations [PDF]
The Planck collaboration has measured the temperature and polarization of the cosmic microwave background well enough to determine the locations of eight peaks in the temperature (TT) power spectrum, five peaks in the polarization (EE) power spectrum and

Imprints of quantum gravity in the cosmic microwave background
It has been shown that the spectrum of quantum gravity contains at least two new modes in addition to the massless graviton: a massive spin-0 and a massive spin-2.

Magneto-optic effects of the cosmic microwave background
Generation of magneto-optic effects by the interaction of the CMB with cosmic magnetic fields is studied. Effects which generate polarization such as the Cotton–Mouton effect, vacuum polarization and photon–pseudoscalar mixing in external magnetic field ...

Cosmic microwave background and inflation in multi-fractional spacetimes [PDF]
We use FIRAS and PLANCK 2015 data to place observational bounds on inflationary scenarios in multi-fractional spacetimes with q-derivatives. While a power-law expansion in the geometric time coordinate is subject to the usual constraints from the tensor ...

Separation of Correlated Astrophysical Sources Using Multiple-Lag Data Covariance Matrices
This paper proposes a new strategy to separate astrophysical sources that are mutually correlated. This strategy is based on second-order statistics and exploits prior information about the possible structure of the mixing matrix.

ƒ(R) Gravity, Relic Coherent Gravitons and Optical Chaos
We discuss the production of massive relic coherent gravitons in a particular class of ƒ(R) gravity, which arises from string theory, and their possible imprint in the Cosmic Microwave Background.

A Cosmic Microwave Background feature consistent with a cosmic texture
The Cosmic Microwave Background provides our most ancient image of the Universe and our best tool for studying its early evolution. Theories of high energy physics predict the formation of various types of topological defects in the very early universe ...
