A stochastic background of primordial gravitational waves may substantially contribute, via the Sachs--Wolfe effect, to the large--scale Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies recently detected by COBE. This implies a {\it bias} in…
If the hemispherical power asymmetry observed in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on large angular scales is attributable to a superhorizon curvaton fluctuation, then the simplest model predicts that the primordial density fluctuations…
We introduce a new estimator for the mean pairwise velocities of galaxy clusters, which is based on the measurement of the clusters' $\textit{transverse}$ velocity components. The Rees-Sciama (RS) effect offers an opportunity to measure…
The divergence of the momentum density field of the large scale structure generates a secondary anisotropy contribution to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). While the effect is best described as a non-linear extension to the well-known…
We study the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy in the scenario with late-decaying scalar condensations which arise in many class of cosmological scenarios based on supersymmetric models. With such a scalar condensation \phi, the…
We examine stochastic temperature fluctuations of the cosmic background radiation (CBR) arising via the Sachs-Wolfe effect from gravitational wave perturbations produced in the early universe. These temperature fluctuations are described by…
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) bispectrum of the temperature anisotropies induced by a network of cosmic strings is derived for small angular scales, under the assumption that the principal cause of temperature fluctuations is the…
We calculate the secondary anisotropies in the CMB produced by inhomogeneous reionization from simulations in which the effects of radiative and stellar feedback effects on galaxy formation have been included. This allows to…
Calculations of the Cosmic Microwave Background lensing power implemented into the standard cosmological codes such as CAMB and CLASS usually treat the surface of last scatter as an infinitely thin screen. However, since the CMB…
In this paper we show that, within the framework of the QSSC, the small scale deviations on angular scales $\lesssim 1^{0}$ expected in the MBR are due to inhomogeneities in the distribution of galaxies and clusters. It is shown how these…
A decrement in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) has been observed by the Ryle Telescope towards a pair of, possibly lensed, quasars (PC1643+4631 A&B). Assuming that the decrement is due to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (S-Z) effect, this is…
Recently Finelli et al. [http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.1555] found evidence for a relatively nearby (z = 0.16) void in a galaxy catalogue in the direction of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) Cold Spot. Using a perturbative calculation,…
Current and upcoming high angular resolution and multi-frequency experiments are well poised to explore the rich landscape of secondary CMB anisotropies. In this context, we compute for the first time, the power spectrum of CMB fluctuations…
We study the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in cold and mixed dark matter (CDM and MDM) models, with non scale-invariant primordial power spectra (i.e. $n \neq 1$) and a late, sudden reionization of the intergalactic…
Cosmic rays (CRs) leave their sources mainly along the local magnetic field; in doing so they excite both resonant and nonresonant modes through streaming instabilities. The excitation of these modes leads to enhanced scattering and in turn…
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) contains information on the cumulative effect of galactic outflows over time, generally thought to be caused by feedback from star formation and active galactic nuclei. Observations of such outflows via…
The nature of dark matter is increasingly constrained by cosmological data. In this paper, we examine the implications of the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy limits on the density of cold dark matter under different theoretical…
A second--order perturbation theory approach is developed to calculate temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. Results are given for open universes and fluctuations corresponding to CDM models with either…
Working toward a model independent understanding of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and their significance, we undertake a comprehensive and self-contained study of scalar perturbation theory. Initial conditions, evolution,…
We discuss how to use the Rees-Sciama (RS) effect associated with merging clusters of galaxies to measure their kinematic properties. In a previous work (Rubino-Martin et al. 2004), the morphology and symmetries of the effect were examined…
