New horizons in cosmology with spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background [PDF]
Experimental astronomy (Print), 2019 This Voyage 2050 paper highlights the unique science opportunities using spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). CMB spectral distortions probe many processes throughout the history of the Universe, delivering novel information ...

Anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background [PDF]
La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2002 We review the present status of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy observations and discuss the main related astrophysical issues, instrumental effects and data analysis techniques. We summarise the balloon-borne and ground-based experiments that, after COBE-DMR, yielded detection or significant upper limits to CMB fluctuations.

Frequency–Redshift Relation of the Cosmic Microwave Background
Astronomy, 2023 We point out that a modified temperature–redshift relation (T-z relation) of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) cannot be deduced by any observational method that appeals to an a priori thermalisation to the CMB temperature T of the excited states in ...

A Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Lensing Potential and Power Spectrum from 500 deg2 of SPTpol Temperature and Polarization Data [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We present a measurement of the cosmic microwave background lensing potential using 500 deg2 of 150 GHz data from the SPTpol receiver on the South Pole Telescope.

Evolution of the cosmic microwave background [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2007 We discuss the time dependence and future of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) in the context of the standard cosmological model, in which we are now entering a state of endless accelerated expansion. The mean temperature will simply decrease until it reaches the effective temperature of the de Sitter vacuum, while the dipole will oscillate as the ...

Room for New Physics in the Rayleigh-Jeans Tail of the Cosmic Microwave Background. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 We show that, despite stringent constraints on the shape of the main part of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) spectrum, there is considerable room for its modification within its Rayleigh-Jeans (RJ) end, ω≪T_{CMB}.

Measurements of B -mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background from 500 square degrees of SPTpol data [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2019 We report a B-mode power spectrum measurement from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization anisotropy observations made using the SPTpol instrument on the South Pole Telescope.

Stringent Limit on Primordial Magnetic Fields from the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 Primordial magnetic fields (PMFs), being present before the epoch of cosmic recombination, induce small-scale baryonic density fluctuations. These inhomogeneities lead to an inhomogeneous recombination process that alters the peaks and heights of the ...
