Primordial circular polarization in the cosmic microwave background

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2019
Circular (“V-mode”) polarization is expected to be vanishing in the CMB, since it is not produced in Thomson scattering. However, considering that the conventional CMB anisotropies are generated via an early universe mechanism such as inflation or a ...

Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Observing Strategy Assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
I develop a method for assessing the ability of an instrument, coupled with an observing strategy, to measure the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB).

Improved constraints on lepton asymmetry from the cosmic microwave background [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A cosmic lepton asymmetry affects the primordial helium abundance and the expansion rate of the early Universe. Both of these effects have an impact on the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB).

Logarithmic and Strong Coupling Models in Weyl‐Type f(Q,T)$f(Q,T)$ Gravity

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 1, January 2026.
This work explores Weyl‐type f(Q,T) gravity using recent observational datasets — CC, Pantheon+, Union 3.0, and DESI DR2. Through MCMC analysis of logarithmic and strong coupling models, the study reveals a transition from deceleration to acceleration, quintessence‐to‐phantom dynamics, and late‐time consistency with LCDM, offering a geometry‐driven ...

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Adapted Method for Separating Kinetic SZ Signal from Primary CMB Fluctuations

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2005
In this first attempt to extract a map of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (KSZ) temperature fluctuations from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, we use a method which is based on simple and minimal assumptions.

Dark Energy with Phantom Crossing and the H0 Tension

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
We investigate the possibility of phantom crossing in the dark energy sector and the solution for the Hubble tension between early and late universe observations.

The Cosmic Microwave Background Bispectrum and Inflation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We derive an expression for the non-Gaussian cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) statistic $I_l^3$ defined recently by Ferreira, Magueijo, and G\'orski in terms of the slow-roll-inflation parameters $\epsilon$ and $\eta$.

Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2002
▪ Abstract  Cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies have and will continue to revolutionize our understanding of cosmology. The recent discovery of the previously predicted acoustic peaks in the power spectrum has established a working cosmological model: a critical density universe consisting of mainly dark matter and dark energy ...

Full-sky Gravitational Lensing Simulation for Large-area Galaxy Surveys and Cosmic Microwave Background Experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present 108 full-sky gravitational lensing simulation data sets generated by performing multiple-lens plane ray-tracing through high-resolution cosmological N-body simulations. The data sets include full-sky convergence and shear maps from redshifts z
