We reassess the estimate of the cross-correlation of the spatial distribution of the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) radio sources with that of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP).…

We investigate the origin of the large clustering signal detected in the angular distribution of the radio sources in the TGSS catalog. To do so, we cross-correlate the angular position of the radio sources with the Cosmic Microwave…

Aims: Implement a matched filter (MF) cross-correlation algorithm in multipole space and compare it to the standard Angular Cross Power Spectrum (ACPS) method. Apply both methods on a Integrated Sachs Wolfe (ISW) - Large Scale Structure…

AIMS. Several authors have claimed to detect a significant cross-correlation between microwave WMAP anisotropies and the SDSS galaxy distribution. We repeat these analyses to determine the different cross-correlation uncertainties caused by…

We present an alternative estimate of the unresolved point source contribution to the WMAP temperature power spectrum based on current knowledge of sources from radio surveys in the 1.4-90 GHz range. We implement a stochastic extrapolation…

We expect a detectable correlation between two seemingly unrelated quantities: the four point function of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the amplitude of flux decrements in quasar (QSO) spectra. The amplitude of CMB convergence…

We measure the angular two-point correlation and angular power spectrum from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) of radio galaxies. They are found to be consistent with the best-fit cosmological model from the Planck analysis, and with the…

We study the angular clustering of point sources in The GMRT (Giant Meter Wave Telescope) Sky Survey (TGSS). The survey at 150 MHz with delta > -53.5 degrees has a sky coverage of 3.6 pi steradians, i.e., 90% of the whole sky. We created…

We report on the results from two independent but complementary statistical analyses of the WMAP first-year data, based on the power spectrum and N-point correlation functions. We focus on large and intermediate scales (larger than about 3…

We measure the skewness power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies optimized for a detection of the secondary bispectrum generated by the correlation of the CMB lensing potential with integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect…

We investigate the clustering properties of radio sources in the Alternative Data Release 1 of the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey (TGSS), focusing on large angular scales, where previous analyses have detected a large clustering signal. After…

The dipole moment in the angular distribution of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is thought to originate from the Doppler effect and our motion relative to the CMB frame. Observations of large-scale structure (LSS) should show a…

We discuss how different theoretical predictions for the variance $\sigma^2$ of the distribution of radio sources can be matched to measurements from the FIRST survey at different flux limits. The predictions are given by the integration of…

We present an analysis of the two-point angular correlation function of the ELAIS S1 survey. The survey covers 4 deg$^2$ and contains 462 sources detected at 15$\mu$m to a 5$\sigma$ flux limit of 0.45 mJy. Using the 329 extragalactic…

We study, for the first time, the cross correlation between the angular distribution of radial peculiar velocities (PV) and the lensing convergence of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons. We derive theoretical expectations for the…

Several accurate analyses have revealed a statistically significant North-South ecliptic asymmetry in the large-angle correlations strength of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation temperature field data from the Wilkinson…

We measure the angular correlation function of radio galaxies selected by the 843 MHz Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS). We find that the characteristic imprint of large-scale structure is clearly detectable, and that the survey…

We analyze whether there is any residual foreground contamination in the cleaned WMAP 7 years data for the differential assemblies, Q, V and W. We calculate the correlation between the foreground map, from which long wavelength correlations…

A previous work (Monteser\'in et al. 2008) estimated the CMB variance from the three-year WMAP data, finding a lower value than expected from Gaussian simulations using the WMAP best-fit cosmological model. We repeat the analysis on the…

We examine the sky distribution of radio galaxies in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) and the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS). Analyses of these samples have reported tension between their inferred dipoles and the kinematic dipole of the…
