The aberration and Doppler coupling effects of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) were recently measured by the Planck satellite. The most straightforward interpretation leads to a direct detection of our peculiar velocity $\beta$,…
The Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies are difficult to measure at large angular scales. In this paper, we present a new analysis of the \Planck\ High Frequency Instrument data that brings the cosmological part and its major…
We explore the possibility that the rest frames of CMB, matter and dark energy differ one from another, i.e. they do not converge on very large scales. In such a case, the usual interpretation of the CMB dipole as being due to the relative…
The observed dipole asymmetry in Cosmic Microwave Background radiation may have originated from the modulations of super-horizon long wavelength modes. In this work we unveil different aspects of asymmetries generated from the long…
We have studied the cosmic microwave background (CMB) map looking for features beyond cosmological isotropy. We began by tiling the CMB variance map (which are produced by different smoothing scales) with stripes of different sizes along…
Measurements of the number count dipole with large surveys have shown amplitudes in tension with kinematic predictions based on the observed Doppler dipole of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). These observations seem to be in direct…
Peculiar velocities encode rich cosmological information, but their transverse components are hard to measure. Here, we present the first observations of a novel effect of transverse velocities: the dipole signatures that they imprint on…
We test the usual hypothesis that the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) dipole, its largest anisotropy, is due to our peculiar velocity with respect to the Hubble flow by measuring independently the Doppler and aberration effects on the CMB…
Our peculiar motion in a homogeneous and isotropic universe imprints a dipole in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature field and similarly imprints a dipole in the distribution of extragalactic radio sources on the sky. Each of…
To reliably detect the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy is of great importance in understanding the birth and evolution of the Universe. One of the difficulties in CMB experiments is the domination of measured CMB anisotropy…
An observer in relative motion to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) rest frame is sensitive to both aberration and Doppler effects. Both effects introduce similar but non-identical off-diagonal couplings in the spherical harmonic…
The velocity of the Sun with respect to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) can be extracted from the CMB dipole, provided its intrinsic dipole is assumed to be small in comparison. This interpretation is consistent, within fairly large…
The hierarchy of motions that we are participating is well known, from the Earth's motion around the Sun and Sun's motion in the Milky Way, up to the Local Group's motion within the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies. The dipole anisotropy of…
It is discovered in our previous work that different observational systematics, e.g., errors of antenna pointing directions, asynchronous between the attitude and science data, can generate pseudo-dipole signal in full-sky maps of the…
The cosmic microwave background radiation defines a preferred cosmic rest frame, and inflationary cosmological theories predict that the microwave background temperature fluctuations should be statistically isotropic in this rest frame. For…
If gamma-ray bursts originate at cosmological distances then their angular distribution should exhibit a dipole in the direction of the solar motion relative to the cosmic microwave background. This is due to the combined effects of…
The dominant CMB dipole anisotropy is a Doppler effect due to a particular motion of the solar system with velocity of 370 km/s. Since this derives from peculiar motions and local inhomogeneities, one could meaningfully consider a…
This paper discusses the Cosmic Background (CB) dipoles observations in the framework of the Planck mission. Dipoles observations can be used in three ways: (i) It gives a measurement of the peculiar velocity of our Galaxy which is an…
The dipole in the angular distribution of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is attributed to the Doppler effect and our motion relative to the CMB rest frame. It is expected that observations of large-scale structures (LSSs) would also…
We are in motion against the cosmic backdrop. This motion is evidenced by the systematic temperature shift - or dipole anisotropy - observed in the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB). Because of the Doppler effect, the temperature…
