Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies [PDF]
▪ 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 ...

Primordial Nucleosynthesis, Cosmic Microwave Background and Neutrinos [PDF]
We report the results of a recent likelihood analysis combining the primordial nucleosynthesis and the BOOMERanG and MAXIMA-1 data on cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropies.

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

Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature at Galaxy Clusters [PDF]
We have deduced the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature in the Coma cluster (A1656, $z=0.0231$), and in A2163 ($z=0.203$) from spectral measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect over four passbands at radio and microwave frequencies ...

Cosmic Strings and Their Induced Non-Gaussianities in the Cosmic Microwave Background
Motivated by the fact that cosmological perturbations of inflationary quantum origin were born Gaussian, the search for non-Gaussianities in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies is considered as the privileged probe of nonlinear physics in ...

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

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