Filtering in CMB data analysis with application to ACT DR4 and Planck

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Erik Rosenberg, Steven Gratton, Anthony Challinor, , | Summary: Motivated by observed discrepancies between ACT DR4 and Planck 2018 cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy power spectra, particularly in the cross-correlation of temperature and E-mode polarization, we investigate challenges that may be encountered in the comparison of satellite […]

Extended red wings and the visibility of reionization-epoch Lyman-$α$ emitters

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Yuxuan Yuan, Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Martin G. Haehnelt, Thibault Garel, Laura Keating | Summary: The visibility of the Lyman-$alpha$ (Ly$alpha$) emission from reionization-epoch galaxies depends sensitively on the extent of the intrinsic lya emission redwards of 1215.67~AA. The prominent red peak resulting from resonant radiative transfer in the […]

Bayesian data analysis for sky-averaged 21-cm experiments with contamination from linearly polarised foreground

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Emma Shen, Dominic Anstey, Marta Spinelli, Eloy de Lera Acedo, Anastasia Fialkov | Summary: The precise measurement of the sky-averaged HI absorption signal between 50 and 200 MHz is the primary goal of global 21-cm cosmology. This measurement has the potential to unravel the underlying physics of […]

Buchdahl bound, photon ring, ISCO and radial acceleration in Einstein-æther theory

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hsiung Hsu, Anthony Lasenby, Will Barker, Amel Durakovic, Michael Hobson | Summary: Spherically symmetric Einstein-{ae}ther (E{AE}) theory with a Maxwell-like kinetic term is revisited. We consider a general choice of the metric and the ae{}ther field, finding that:~(i) there is a gauge freedom allowing one always to […]
