Nearly Full-sky Low-multipole Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature Anisotropy. I. Foreground Cleaned Maps

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Studies of cosmic microwave background (CMB) are often limited by foreground contamination. Foreground cleaning is performed in either harmonic or pixel space after data cuts have excluded sky areas of strong contamination.

Delensing of Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization with Machine Learning

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Primordial B -mode detection is one of the main goals of next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. Primordial B -modes are a unique signature of primordial gravitational waves (PGWs).

A Possible Solution to the Mystery of the ANITA Anomalous Events

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 4, April 2026.
In 2006 and 2014, the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a balloon‐borne radio observatory flying over Antarctica, detected two strange upward‐going radio pulse events that have not yet been explained by our current understanding of physics.

The Observational Signatures of Cosmic Strings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cosmic strings were postulated by Kibble in 1976 and, from a theoretical point of view, their existence finds support in modern superstring theories, both in compactification models and in theories with extended additional dimensions.

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Different Explanations for the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

open access: yes, 2021
In this research, the other reasonable explanations for the cosmic microwave background radiation is revealed. Due to the microwave resolution, it very roughly shows the image of galaxies in the universe. Moreover, the intensity measurement on each pixel of the image is the sum of the incident microwaves from different directions, so the microwave ...

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

The Simons Observatory: Detector Polarization Angle Calibration Using a Sparse Wire Grid with Initial Datasets of the Small-aperture Telescopes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Improved measurements of B -modes in the cosmic microwave background can be obtained through accurate calibration of the orientation of detector antennas as projected onto the sky. Miscalibration of the detector polarization angle leads to a leakage of E

Recovering Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Signals with Machine Learning

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Primordial B-mode detection is one of the main goals of current and future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. However, the weak B-mode signal is overshadowed by several Galactic polarized emissions, such as thermal dust emission and ...

All‐sky assimilation impacts of the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder constellation on global weather forecasts

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.
Key Findings: An assimilation methodology is established for the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder (TMS) flying on CubeSats in sun‐synchronous and inclined orbits, and in all cloud scenes. The TMS has a significant impact on weather forecast lead times up to 3 days in the Tropics in a research‐quality numerical weather prediction setting, and yields water ...
