LFI systematic uncertainties

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

We present the current estimate of instrumental and systematic effect uncertainties for the Planck-Low Frequency Instrument relevant to the first release of the Planck cosmological results. We give an overview of the main effects and of the tools and metho ...

Neutrino and Dark Matter Properties from Cosmological Observations

Benjamin Audren

We apply the principles of Bayesian statistics to the main probes of cosmology, in order to refine our knowledge of the Standard Model and possibly extend it. Notably, we investigate the basic elements of the model in detail in order to reinforce this basi ...

Separate constraints on early and late cosmology

Benjamin Audren

Since the public release of Planck data, several attempts have been made to explain the observed small tensions with other data sets, most of them involving an extension of the Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) model. We try here an alternative approach ...

Planck 2013 results. IV. Low Frequency Instrument beams and window functions

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

This paper presents the characterization of the in-flight beams, the beam window functions, and the associated uncertainties for the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI). Knowledge of the beam profiles is necessary for determining the transfer function to ...

Hybrid inflation in the complex plane

Valerie Fiona Domcke, Kohei Kamada

Supersymmetric hybrid inflation is an exquisite framework to connect inflationary cosmology to particle physics at the scale of grand unification. Ending in a phase transition associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking, it can naturally explain the gene ...

Planck 2013 results. XXX. Cosmic infrared background measurements and implications for star formation

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

We present new measurements of cosmic infrared background (CIB) anisotropies using Planck. Combining HFI data with IRAS, the angular auto-and cross-frequency power spectrum is measured from 143 to 3000 GHz, and the auto-bispectrum from 217 to 545 GHz. The ...

Planck 2013 results. XXV. Searches for cosmic strings and other topological defects

Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Fabio Finelli

Planck data have been used to provide stringent new constraints on cosmic strings and other defects. We describe forecasts of the CMB power spectrum induced by cosmic strings, calculating these from network models and simulations using line-of-sight Boltzm ...

The effective gravitational decoupling between dark matter and the CMB

Julien Lesgourgues, Luc Voruz

We present a detailed and self-contained analytical derivation of the evolution of sub-horizon cosmological perturbations before decoupling, based on previous work by S. Weinberg. These solutions are valid in the minimal Lambda CDM scenario, to first order ...

PRISM: Recovery of the primordial spectrum from Planck data

Anaïs Marie Rassat

Aim. The primordial power spectrum describes the initial perturbations that seeded the large-scale structure we observe today. It provides an indirect probe of inflation or other structure-formation mechanisms. In this Letter, we recover the primordial pow ...

Planck 2013 results. XXIX. The Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich sources

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

We describe the all-sky Planck catalogue of clusters and cluster candidates derived from Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect detections using the first 15.5 months of Planck satellite observations. The catalogue contains 1227 entries, making it over six times th ...
