Fast computation of angular power spectra and covariances of high-resolution cosmic microwave background maps using the Toeplitz approximation

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Thibaut Louis, Sigurd Naess, Xavier Garrido, Anthony Challinor, | Summary: We present a simple approximation that can speed up the computation of the mode-coupling matrices, which are usually the bottleneck for computing unbiased angular power spectra, as well as their associated covariance matrices, of the cosmic microwave […]

Limitations of CMB B-mode template delensing

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Antón Baleato Lizancos, Anthony Challinor, Julien Carron, , | Summary: Efforts to detect a primordial $B$-mode of CMB polarization generated by inflationary gravitational waves ought to mitigate the large variance associated with the $B$-modes produced by gravitational lensing, a process known as delensing. A popular approach to […]

Diffusing wave spectroscopy: a unified treatment on temporal sampling and speckle ensemble methods

Kavli Affiliate: Changhuei Yang | First 5 Authors: Jian Xu, Ali K. Jahromi, Changhuei Yang, , | Summary: Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) is a well-known set of methods to measure the temporal dynamics of dynamic samples. In DWS, dynamic samples scatter the incident coherent light, and the information of the temporal dynamics is encoded in […]
