Cosmology intertwined: A review of the particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology associated with the cosmological tensions and anomalies

Frédéric Courbin, Julien Lesgourgues, Mikhail Ivanov, Richard Irving Anderson, Fabio Finelli, Adriano Agnello, Jie Wang, Florian Niedermann, Emre Ozulker, Melissa Joseph, Suresh Kumar, Hsin-Yu Chen

The standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter (Lambda CDM) cosmological model provides a good description of a wide range of astrophysical and cosmological data. However, there are a few big open questions that make the standard model look like an approximation to ...

Neutrino masses and cosmology with Lyman-alpha forest power spectrum

Julien Lesgourgues, Arnaud Borde

We present constraints on neutrino masses, the primordial fluctuation spectrum from inflation, and other parameters of the ACDM model, using the one-dimensional Ly alpha-forest power spectrum measured by [1] from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey ...

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

Julien Lesgourgues, Xin Chen, 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 ...

Planck 2013 results. XX. Cosmology from Sunyaev-Zeldovich cluster counts

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

We present constraints on cosmological parameters using number counts as a function of redshift for a sub-sample of 189 galaxy clusters from the Planck SZ (PSZ) catalogue. The PSZ is selected through the signature of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect, and ...

Planck 2013 results. XVI. Cosmological parameters

Julien Lesgourgues, Xin Chen, Fabio Finelli, Jan Hamann

This paper presents the first cosmological results based on Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and lensing-potential power spectra. We find that the Planck spectra at high multipoles (l greater than or similar to 40) a ...

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 ...

Planck 2013 results. XXII. Constraints on inflation

Julien Lesgourgues, Jean-Luc Starck, 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 ...

Regeneration and recombination kinetics in cobalt polypyridine based dye-sensitized solar cells, explained using Marcus theory

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

Regeneration and recombination kinetics was investigated for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) using a series of different cobalt polypyridine redox couples, with redox potentials ranging between 0.34 and 1.20 V vs. NHE. Marcus theory was applied to explai ...

The pre-launch Planck Sky Model: a model of sky emission at submillimetre to centimetre wavelengths

Julien Lesgourgues

We present the Planck Sky Model (PSM), a parametric model for generating all-sky, few arcminute resolution maps of sky emission at submillimetre to centimetre wavelengths, in both intensity and polarisation. Several options are implemented to model the cos ...

CMB photons shedding light on dark matter

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren, Gaëlle Giesen

The annihilation or decay of Dark Matter (DM) particles could affect the thermal history of the universe and leave an observable signature in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. We update constraints on the annihilation rate of DM particles in ...

Motion Synergies for Real-Time Postural Control in Virtual Environments

Daniel Raunhardt

Virtual prototyping has become an important part during the product development process. The common way to let a user interact with the virtual prototype is the use of a three dimensional virtual mannequin that is controlled by the user. These human figure ...

Cosmological applications of a wavelet analysis on the sphere

Yves Wiaux, Jason Douglas McEwen

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a relic radiation of the Big Bang and as such it contains a wealth of cosmological information. Statistical analyses of the CMB, in conjunction with other cosmological observables, represent some of the most powerfu ...
