Polarization in the cosmic microwave background [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2006
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) studies underpin our understanding of the universe and its history. Until recently, we have relied principally on CMB temperature observations to build our standard cosmological model, but today the field forges ahead into its next frontier - CMB polarization anistropy.

Evaluation and assimilation of Arctic Weather Satellite data in the AROME‐Arctic forecast system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The Arctic Weather Satellite (AWS), launched in August 2024, is a prototype for the future EPS–Sterna constellation of small satellites carrying an innovative microwave sounder. We present the first assessment of AWS in the regional AROME‐Arctic numerical weather prediction system, covering post‐launch calibration results and the impact of AWS ...

Nearly Full-sky Low-multipole Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature Anisotropy. III. Cosmic Microwave Background Anomalies

The Astrophysical Journal
Unexpected features have been observed in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature on large scales. We revisit these CMB anomalies using new foreground-cleaned CMB temperature maps derived in a companion paper from WMAP and Planck data, which ...

Non-Gaussianity and the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies

Advances in Astronomy, 2010
We review in a pedagogical way the present status of the impact of non-Gaussianity (NG) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. We first show how to set the initial conditions at second order for the CMB anisotropies when some primordial ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND RADIATION* [PDF]

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1981
Because angular anisotropies and spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background radiation are judged to be inevitable at some level, in a realistic cosmological model, the evidence for spectral distortions and its theoretical implications are described.

Aharonov–Bohm Effect for Cooper Pairs in Kerr Spacetime: Gravitomagnetic Phase Shifts From Frame Dragging

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains a central problem in fundamental physics. Here, we study the gravitomagnetic Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect for Cooper pairs in Kerr spacetime. Frame‐dragging by a rotating black hole (BH) generates an effective vector potential through the off‐diagonal metric term gtϕ$g_{t\phi }$,

On the (Higher Multipoles) Variance Asymmetry in the Cosmic Microwave Background

The Astrophysical Journal
We have studied the cosmic microwave background (CMB) map looking for features beyond cosmological isotropy. We began by tiling the CMB variance maps (which are produced by different smoothing scales) with stripes of different sizes along the most ...

Cosmic microwave background constraints on coupled dark matter

Physics Letters B, 2015
We study CMB constraints on a scenario where a fraction of dark matter is non-minimally coupled to a massless scalar field and dark energy is in the form of a cosmological constant.

Classification of Precipitable Water Vapor Regimes Revealed by Clustering of GNSS Radio Occultation and ERA5 Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is an essential parameter for the study of weather and climate behavior. This work presents a novel regional classification of PWV regimes based on clustering techniques applied to Global Navigation Satellite System radio occultation‐derived and ERA5 reanalysis data with and without seasonal removal.
