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 ...

Higgs-Dilaton cosmology: Universality versus criticality

Javier Rubio

The Higgs-Dilaton model is able to produce an early inflationary expansion followed by a dark energy dominated era responsible for the late time acceleration of the Universe. At tree level, the model predicts a small tensor-to-scalar ratio (0.0021

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 ...

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 ...

Planck 2013 results. XVII. Gravitational lensing by large-scale structure

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

On the arcminute angular scales probed by Planck, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies are gently perturbed by gravitational lensing. Here we present a detailed study of this effect, detecting lensing independently in the 100, 143, and 217 GH ...

Planck 2013 results. XXII. Constraints on inflation

Jean-Luc Starck, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli, Jan Hamann

We analyse the implications of the Planck data for cosmic inflation. The Planck nominal mission temperature anisotropy measurements, combined with the WMAP large-angle polarization, constrain the scalar spectral index to be n(s) = 0.9603 +/- 0:0073, ruling ...

Planck CMB nomalies: astrophysical and cosmological secondary effects and the curse of masking

Anaïs Marie Rassat

Large-scale anomalies have been reported in CMB data with both WMAP and Planck data. These could be due to foreground residuals and or systematic effects, though their confirmation with Planck data suggests they are not due to a problem in the WMAP or Plan ...

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 ...

Using the CMB angular power spectrum to study Dark Matter-photon interactions

Julien Lesgourgues

In this paper, we explore the impact of Dark Matter-photon interactions on the CMB angular power spectrum. Using the one-year data release of the Planck satellite, we derive an upper bound on the Dark Matter-photon elastic scattering cross section of sigma ...
