Planck 2013 results. XII. Diffuse component separation

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

Planck has produced detailed all-sky observations over nine frequency bands between 30 and 857 GHz. These observations allow robust reconstruction of the primordial cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature fluctuations over nearly the full sky, as wel ...

A new framework for numerical simulations of structure formation

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Matthieu Schaller, Claude Becker

The diversity of structures in the Universe (from the smallest galaxies to the largest superclusters) has formed under the pull of gravity from the tiny primordial perturbations that we see imprinted in the cosmic microwave background. A quantitative descr ...

Probing nuclear rates with Planck and BICEP2

Julien Lesgourgues

Big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) relates key cosmological parameters to the primordial abundance of light elements. In this paper, we point out that the recent observations of cosmic microwave background anisotropies by the Planck satellite and by the BICEP2 ...

Kinetic initial conditions for inflation

Sylvain Bréchet

We consider the classical evolution of the inflaton field and the Hubble parameter in homogeneous and isotropic single-field inflation models. Under an extremely broad assumption, we show that the Universe generically emerges from an initial singularity in ...

Planck 2013 results. XXIII. Isotropy and statistics of the CMB

Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Ji Hyun Kim, Fabio Finelli

The two fundamental assumptions of the standard cosmological model - that the initial fluctuations are statistically isotropic and Gaussian - are rigorously tested using maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy from the Planck satellite. Th ...

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 ...

Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

The Planck nominal mission cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps yield unprecedented constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (NG). Using three optimal bispectrum estimators, separable template-fitting (KSW), binned, and modal, we obtain consistent value ...

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 ...

Zodiacal emission

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

The Planck satellite provides a set of all-sky maps at nine frequencies from 30 GHz to 857 GHz. Planets, minor bodies, and di ff use interplanetary dust emission (IPD) are all observed. The IPD can be separated from Galactic and other emissions because Pla ...

Light-cone anisotropy in the 21 cm signal from the epoch of reionization

Yves Revaz

Using a suite of detailed numerical simulations, we estimate the level of anisotropy generated by the time evolution along the light cone of the 21 cm signal from the epoch of reionization. Our simulations include the physics necessary to model the signal ...
