Planck 2013 results. I. Overview of products and scientific results

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Slobodan Ilic, Ji Hyun Kim, Fabio Finelli, Jan Hamann

The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, dedicated to studying the early Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched 14 May 2009 and has been scanning the microwave and submillimetre sky continuously since 12 August 2009. In March 2013, ESA an ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: An effective field theory approach

Georgios Karananas, Javier Rubio

The Higgs-dilaton cosmological model is able to describe simultaneously an inflationary expansion in the early Universe and a dark energy dominated stage responsible for the present day acceleration. It also leads to a nontrivial relation between the spect ...

Matter and antimatter in the universe

Marco Drewes, Laurent Canetti

We review observational evidence for a matter-antimatter asymmetry in the early universe, which leads to the remnant matter density we observe today. We also discuss bounds on the presence of antimatter in the present-day universe, including the possibilit ...

Supersymmetric sound in fluids

Boaz Keren Zur

We consider the hydrodynamics of supersymmetric fluids. Supersymmetry is broken spontaneously and the low energy spectrum includes a fermionic massless mode, the phonino. We use two complementary approaches to describe the system: First, we construct a gen ...

Self-Consistent Evolution of Magnetic Fields and Chiral Asymmetry in the Early Universe

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We show that the evolution of magnetic fields in a primordial plasma, filled with standard model particles at temperatures T greater than or similar to 10 MeV, is strongly affected by the chiral anomaly-an effect previously neglected. Although reactions, e ...

Long-Range Magnetic Fields in the Ground State of the Standard Model Plasma

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

In thermal equilibrium the ground state of the plasma of Standard Model particles is determined by temperature and exactly conserved combinations of baryon and lepton numbers. We show that at nonzero values of the global charges a translation invariant and ...

Compactness of cold gas in high-redshift galaxies

Danail Obreschkow

Galaxies in the early Universe were more compact and contained more molecular gas than today. In this paper, we revisit the relation between these empirical findings, and we quantitatively predict the cosmic evolution of the surface densities of atomic (HI ...

EDGE: Explorer of diffuse emission and gamma-ray burst explosions

Matthias Finger, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Simone Campana

How structures of various scales formed and evolved from the early Universe up to present time is a fundamental question of astrophysical cosmology. EDGE (Piro et al., 2007) will trace the cosmic history of the baryons from the early generations of massive ...

Cosmological constraints on a light nonthermal sterile neutrino

Julien Lesgourgues

Although the MiniBooNE experiment has severely restricted the possible existence of light sterile neutrinos, a few anomalies persist in oscillation data, and the possibility of extra light species contributing as a subdominant hot (or warm) component is st ...

Observations Of The Gas Reservoir Around A Star-Forming Galaxy In The Early Universe

Georges Meylan

We present a high signal-to-noise spectrum of a bright galaxy at z = 4.9 in 14 hr of integration on VLT FORS2. This galaxy is extremely bright, i(850) = 23.10 +/- 0.01, and is strongly lensed by the foreground massive galaxy cluster A1689 (z = 0.18). Stell ...
