Extraction of the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) angular power spectrum is a challenging task for current and future CMB experiments due to the large data sets involved. Here we describe an implementation of MASTER (Monte carlo Apodised…

In asteroseismology, the observed time series often suffers from incomplete time coverage due to gaps. The presence of periodic gaps may generate spurious peaks in the power spectrum that limit the analysis of the data. Various methods have…

Our motion relative to the cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) rest frame deflects light rays giving rise to shifts as large as L -> L(1+beta), where beta=0.00123 is our velocity (in units of the speed of light) on measurements CMB…

A small deviation from scale invariance in the form of oscillations in the primordial correlation spectra has been predicted by various cosmological models. In this paper we review a recently developed method to search for these features in…

The lack of power anomaly is an unexpected feature observed at large angular scales in the CMB maps produced by the COBE, WMAP and Planck satellites. This signature, which consists in a missing of power with respect to that predicted by the…

We introduce new symmetry-based methods to test for isotropy in cosmic microwave background radiation. Each angular multipole is factored into unique products of power eigenvectors, related multipoles and singular values that provide 2 new…

Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is an effective tool for detecting a moving target in spaceborne or airborne radar systems. Statistical-based STAP methods generally need sufficient statistically independent and identically distributed…

We consider the issue of hemispherical power asymmetry in the three-year WMAP data, adopting a previously introduced modulation framework. Computing both frequentist probabilities and Bayesian evidences, we find that the model consisiting…

In this work a detailed spectral analysis of the time series of the 8B solar neutrino flux published by the Super-Kamiokande Collaboration is presented, performed through a likelihood scan approach. Preliminarily a careful review of the…

This paper generalises the hybrid power spectrum estimator developed in Efstathiou (2004a) to the estimation of polarization power spectra of the cosmic microwave background radiation. The hybrid power spectrum estimator is unbiased and we…

We report on a measurement of the angular power spectrum of the anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background. The anisotropy is measured in 23 different multipole bands from l=54 (~3 deg) to l=404 (~0.45 deg) and in 6 frequency bands from…

We describe a simple but efficient method for deriving a consistent set of monopole and dipole corrections for multi-frequency sky map data sets, allowing robust parametric component separation with the same data set. The computational core…

When analyzing the galaxy bispectrum measured from spectroscopic surveys, it is imperative to account for the effects of non-uniform survey geometry. Conventionally, this is done by convolving the theory model with the the window function;…

We show how to estimate the covariance of the power spectrum of a statistically homogeneous and isotropic density field from a single periodic simulation, by applying a set of weightings to the density field, and by measuring the scatter in…

We compute the covariance of the galaxy power spectrum multipoles in perturbation theory, including the effects of nonlinear evolution, nonlinear and nonlocal bias, radial redshift-space distortions, arbitrary survey window and shot noise.…

Optimal frequency identification in astronomical datasets is crucial for variable star studies, exoplanet detection, and asteroseismology. Traditional period-finding methods often rely on specific parametric assumptions, employ binning…

Consistency checks of $\Lambda$CDM predictions with current cosmological data sets may illuminate the types of changes needed to resolve cosmological tensions. To this end, we modify the CLASS Boltzmann code to create phenomenological…

Inference in cosmology often starts with noisy observations of random fields on the celestial sphere, such as maps of the microwave background radiation, continuous maps of cosmic structure in different wavelengths, or maps of point tracers…

The periodogram is a popular tool that tests whether a signal consists only of noise or if it also includes other components. The main issue of this method is to define a critical detection threshold that allows identification of a…

Marked power spectra provide a computationally efficient way to extract non-Gaussian information from the matter density field using the usual analysis tools developed for the power spectrum without the need for explicit calculation of…
