Cosmic microwave background constraints for global strings and global monopoles [PDF]

, 2017
We present the first cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectra from numerical simulations of the global O(N) linear σ-model, with N=2,3, which have global strings and monopoles as topological defects.

Improved Constraints on Cosmology and Foregrounds from BICEP2 and Keck Array Cosmic Microwave Background Data with Inclusion of 95 GHz Band. [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2015
We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2 and Keck Array cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments up to and including the 2014 observing season. This includes the first Keck Array observations at 95 GHz.

An Accelerated Discrete Ordinate Method (ADOM) Developed for Scalar Radiative Transfer by Merging Adjacent Clear‐Sky Atmospheric Layers: Forward and Jacobians Derivation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract In this study, an Accelerated Discrete Ordinate Method (ADOM) is proposed to enhance the computational efficiency of multi‐layer radiative transfer (RT) simulations while maintaining a high accuracy. ADOM applies the Discrete Ordinate Method (DOM) only in scattering layers, while the radiances for the adjacent clear‐sky layers are merged and ...

General constraints on dark matter decay from the cosmic microwave background [PDF]

, 2016
Precise measurements of the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background can be used to constrain the annihilation and decay of dark matter. In this work, we demonstrate via principal component analysis that the imprint of

The cosmic microwave background radiation

Physics Reports, 2000
We summarize the theoretical and observational status of the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. Its thermodynamic spectrum is a robust prediction of the Hot Big Bang cosmology and has been confirmed observationally. There are now 76 observations of Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy, which we present in a table with references.

Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty

Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 1093-1125, December 2025.
Abstract Expected value maximization gives plausible guidance for moral decision‐making under uncertainty in many situations. But it has unappetizing implications in ‘Pascalian’ situations involving tiny probabilities of extreme outcomes. This paper shows, first, that under realistic levels of ‘background uncertainty’ about sources of value independent

Generative Models of Multichannel Data from a Single Example—Application to Dust Emission

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The quest for primordial B -modes in the cosmic microwave background has emphasized the need for refined models of the Galactic dust foreground. Here we aim at building a realistic statistical model of the multifrequency dust emission from a single ...
