Nine-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Cosmological Parameter Results

Hinshaw, G.; Larson, D.; Komatsu, Eiichiro; Spergel, D. N.; Bennett, C. L.; Dunkley, J.; Nolta, M. R.; Halpern, M.; Hill, R. S.; Odegard, N.; Page, L.; Smith, K. M.; Weiland, J. L.; Gold, B.; Jarosik, N.; Kogut, A.; Limon, M.; Meyer, S. S.; Tucker, G. S.; Wollack, E.; Wright, E. L. (2013-10)

We present cosmological parameter constraints based on the final nine-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data, in conjunction with a number of additional cosmological data sets. The WMAP data alone, and in ...

Cosmic Microwave Background-Weak Lensing Correlation: Analytical and Numerical Study of Nonlinearity and Implications for Dark Energy

Nishizawa, Atushi J.; Komatsu, Eiichiro; Yoshida, Naoki; Takahashi, Ryuichi; Sugiyama, Naoshi (2008-04)

Evolution of density fluctuations yields secondary anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background ( CMB), which are correlated with the same density fluctuations that can be measured by weak lensing (WL) surveys. We study ...

Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP*) Observations: Bayesian Estimation Of Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Maps

Dunkley, J.; Spergel, D. N.; Komatsu, Eiichiro; Hinshaw, G.; Larson, D.; Nolta, M. R.; Odegard, N.; Page, L.; Bennett, C. L.; Gold, B.; Hill, R. S.; Jarosik, N.; Weiland, J. L.; Halpern, M.; Kogut, A.; Limon, M.; Meyer, S. S.; Tucker, G. S.; Wollack, E.; Wright, Edward L. (2009-08)

We describe a sampling method to estimate the polarized cosmic microwave background (CMB) signal from observed maps of the sky. We use a Metropolis-within-Gibbs algorithm to estimate the polarized CMB map, containing Q and ...

Seven-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: are there Cosmic Microwave Background Anomalies?

Bennett, C. L.; Hill, R. S.; Hinshaw, G.; Larson, D.; Smith, K. M.; Dunkley, J.; Gold, B.; Halpern, M.; Jarosik, N.; Kogut, A.; Komatsu, Eiichiro; Limon, M.; Meyer, S. S.; Nolta, M. R.; Odegard, N.; Page, L.; Spergel, D. N.; Tucker, G. S.; Weiland, J. L.; Wollack, E.; Wright, E. L. (2011-02)

A simple six-parameter Lambda CDM model provides a successful fit to WMAP data. This holds both when the WMAP data are analyzed alone or in combination with other cosmological data. Even so, it is appropriate to examine ...

Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Observations: Angular Power Spectra

Nolta, M. R.; Dunkley, J.; Hill, R. S.; Hinshaw, G.; Komatsu, Eiichiro; Larson, D.; Page, L.; Spergel, D. N.; Bennett, C. L.; Gold, B.; Jarosik, N.; Odegard, N.; Weiland, J. L.; Wollack, E.; Halpern, M.; Kogut, A.; Limon, M.; Meyer, S. S.; Tucker, G. S.; Wright, E. L. (2009-02)

We present the temperature and polarization angular power spectra of the cosmic microwave background derived from the first five years of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data. The five-year temperature spectrum is ...

Bullet Cluster: A Challenge To Lambda CDM Cosmology

Lee, Jounghun; Komatsu, Eiichiro (2010-07)

To quantify how rare the bullet-cluster-like high-velocity merging systems are in the standard Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) cosmology, we use a large-volume (27 h(-3) Gpc(3)) cosmological N-body MICE simulation to calculate ...

Nine-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Final Maps and Results

Bennett, C. L.; Larson, D.; Weiland, J. L.; Jarosik, N.; Hinshaw, G.; Odegard, N.; Smith, K. M.; Hill, R. S.; Gold, B.; Halpern, M.; Komatsu, Eiichiro; Nolta, M. R.; Page, L.; Spergel, D. N.; Wollack, E.; Dunkley, J.; Kogut, A.; Limon, M.; Meyer, S. S.; Tucker, G. S.; Wright, E. L. (2013-10)

We present the final nine-year maps and basic results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) mission. The full nine-year analysis of the time-ordered data provides updated characterizations and calibrations ...

Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Observations: Cosmological interpretation

Komatsu, Eiichiro; Dunkley, J.; Nolta, M. R.; Bennett, C. L.; Gold, B.; Hinshaw, G.; Jarosik, N.; Larson, D.; Limon, M.; Page, L.; Spergel, D. N.; Halpern, M.; Hill, R. S.; Kogut, A.; Meyer, S. S.; Tucker, G. S.; Weiland, J. L.; Wollack, E.; Wright, E. L. (2009-02)

The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 5-year data provide stringent limits on deviations from the minimal, six-parameter. cold dark matter model. We report these limits and use them to constrain the physics of ...

The Cosmic Near Infrared Background. III. Fluctuations, Reionization, And The Effects Of Minimum Mass And Self-Regulation

Fernandez, Elizabeth R.; Iliev, Illian T.; Komatsu, Eiichiro; Shapiro, Paul R. (2012-05)

Current observations suggest that the universe was reionized sometime before z similar to 6. One way to observe this epoch of the universe is through the Near Infrared Background (NIRB), which contains information about ...

Seven-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Galactic foreground Emission

Gold, B.; Odegard, N.; Weiland, J. L.; Hill, R. S.; Kogut, A.; Bennett, C. L.; Hinshaw, G.; Chen, X.; Dunkley, J.; Halpern, M.; Jarosik, N.; Komatsu, Eiichiro; Larson, D.; Limon, M.; Meyer, S. S.; Nolta, M. R.; Page, L.; Smith, K. M.; Spergel, D. N.; Tucker, G. S.; Wollack, E.; Wright, E. L. (2011-02)

We present updated estimates of Galactic foreground emission using seven years of WMAP data. Using the power spectrum of differences between multi-frequency template-cleaned maps, we find no evidence for foreground ...
