Primordial gravity wave fossils and their use in testing inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui | Summary:A new effect is described by which primordial gravity waves leave a permanent signature in the large scale structure of the Universe. The effect occurs at second order in perturbation theory and is sensitive to the order in which perturbations on different scales are generated. We derive general forecasts […]

Seen and unseen tidal caustics in the Andromeda galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | Summary:Indirect detection of high-energy particles from dark matter interactions is a promising avenue for learning more about dark matter, but is hampered by the frequent coincidence of high-energy astrophysical sources of such particles with putative high-density regions of dark matter. We calculate the boost factor and gamma-ray flux from dark […]
