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.

Cosmic microwave background constraints on primordial black hole dark matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We revisit cosmic microwave background (CMB) constraints on primordial black hole dark matter. Spectral distortion limits from COBE/FIRAS do not impose a relevant constraint. Planck CMB anisotropy power spectra imply that primordial black holes with mBH≳

Near‐ground microwave radiometry for on‐the‐go surface soil moisture sensing in micro‐irrigated orchards in California

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract High‐resolution geospatial soil moisture measurements are needed to inform hydrological modeling and to guide water management in agriculture, especially in highly heterogeneous systems such as micro‐irrigated orchards. In this research, we used a Portable L‐band Radiometer (PoLRa) to map very high‐resolution (<2 m) soil surface moisture in ...

A Measurement of Atmospheric Circular Polarization with POLARBEAR

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
At millimeter wavelengths, the atmospheric emission is circularly polarized owing to the Zeeman splitting of molecular oxygen by the Earth's magnetic field.

Lorentz invariance violation in the neutrino sector: a joint analysis from big bang nucleosynthesis and the cosmic microwave background

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
We investigate constraints on Lorentz invariance violation in the neutrino sector from a joint analysis of big bang nucleosynthesis and the cosmic microwave background.

Uncovering the history of cosmic inflation from anomalies in cosmic microwave background spectra

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022
We propose an inflationary primordial feature model that can explain both the large and small-scale anomalies in the currently measured cosmic microwave background anisotropy spectra, revealing a clip of adventurous history of the Universe during its ...

Exploring the Tension between Current Cosmic Microwave Background and Cosmic Shear Data

open access: yesSymmetry, 2018
This paper provides a snapshot of the formal S 8 ≡ σ 8 Ω m / 0.3 tension between Planck 2015 and the Kilo Degree Survey of450 deg 2 of imaging data (KiDS-450) or the Canada France Hawaii Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS).
