Strongest model-independent bound on the lifetime of Dark Matter

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren

Dark Matter is essential for structured formation in the late Universe so it must be stable on cosmological time scales. But how stable exactly? Only assuming decays into relativistic on particles, we report an otherwise model independent bound on the life ...

Higgs inflation at the critical point

Higgs inflation can occur if the Standard Model (SM) is a self-consistent effective field theory up to inflationary scale. This leads to an upper bound on the top Yukawa coupling, y(t)(phys) < y(t)(crit) and thus on the mass of the top quark m(t). If m(t) ...

Planck 2013 results. XVIII. The gravitational lensing-infrared background correlation

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

The multi-frequency capability of the Planck satellite provides information both on the integrated history of star formation (via the cosmic infrared background, or CIB) and on the distribution of dark matter (via the lensing effect on the cosmic microwave ...

Fast prediction and evaluation of gravitational waveforms using surrogate models

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

We propose a solution to the problem of quickly and accurately predicting gravitational waveforms within any given physical model. The method is relevant for both real-time applications and in more traditional scenarios where the generation of waveforms us ...

The Third Gravitational Lensing Accuracy Testing (Great3) Challenge Handbook

Frédéric Courbin, Marc Gentile, Richard Massey

The GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 3 (GREAT3) challenge is the third in a series of image analysis challenges, with a goal of testing and facilitating the development of methods for analyzing astronomical images that will be used to measure weak gr ...

PROBING THE z > 6 UNIVERSE WITH THE FIRST HUBBLE FRONTIER FIELDS CLUSTER A2744

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Mathilde Jauzac, Hakim Atek, Johan Richard

The Hubble Frontier Fields program combines the capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) with the gravitational lensing of massive galaxy clusters to probe the distant universe to an unprecedented depth. Here, we present the results of the first co ...

Effects of cosmic strings with delayed scaling on CMB anisotropy

Kohei Kamada

The network of cosmic strings generated in a phase transition during inflation enters the scaling regime later than that of usual strings. If it occurs after the recombination, temperature anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at high multi ...

Polar ring galaxies as tests of gravity

Polar ring galaxies are ideal objects with which to study the three-dimensional shapes of galactic gravitational potentials since two rotation curves can be measured in two perpendicular planes. Observational studies have uncovered systematically larger ro ...

Poincaré wave-induced mixing in a large lake

Damien Bouffard

A 10,000-km2 hypoxic ‘dead zone’ forms, during most years, in the central basin of Lake Erie. To investigate the processes driving the hypoxia, we conducted a 2-yr field campaign where the mixing in the lake interior during the stratification period was ex ...

Analyzing the coda from correlating scattered surface waves

Thomas Emmanuel Blum

The accuracy of scattered Rayleigh waves estimated using an interferometric method is investigated. Summing the cross correlations of the wave fields measured all around the scatterers yields the Green's function between two excitation points. This account ...
