Power spectrum parameter estimation
The power spectrum of a zero-mean stationary Gaussian random process is assumed to be known except for one or more parameters which are to be estimated from an observation of the process during a finite time interval. The approximation is introduced that the coefficients of the Fourier series expansion of a realization of long-time duration are uncorrelated. Based on this approximation maximum ...
متن کاملHolonomy Corrections to the Cosmological Primordial Tensor Power Spectrum
Loop quantum gravity is one of the leading candidate theory to non-perturbatively quantize gravity. In this framework, holonomy corrections to the equation of propagation of gravitons in a FLRW background have been derived. We investigate the consequences of those corrections on the tensor power spectrum in de-Sitter and slow-roll inflations, for n=-1/2. Depending on the value of the Barbero-Im...
متن کاملA Method for Power Spectrum Parameter Estimation
An asymptotic analysis is carried out for an approximate method of estimating the parameters of the power spectrum of a zero-mean stationary Gaussian random process from an observed realization of limited duration. Maximum likelihood estimates are obtained with the approximation that the coefficients of the Fourier series expansion of the realization are uncorrelated. This is equivalent to othe...
متن کاملCosmological parameter determination in free-form strong gravitational lens modelling
We develop a novel statistical strong-lensing approach to probe the cosmological parameters by exploiting multiple redshift image systems behind galaxies or galaxy clusters. The method relies on free-form mass inversion of strong lenses and does not need any additional information other than gravitational lensing. Since in free-form lensing the solution space is a high-dimensional convex polyto...
متن کاملStrong Lensing Probabilities in a Cosmological Model with a Running Primordial Power Spectrum
The combination of the first-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data with other finer scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments (CBI and ACBAR) and two structure formation measurements (2dFGRS and Lyman α forest) suggest a ΛCDM cosmological model with a running spectral power index of primordial density fluctuations. Motivated by this new result on the index of primordia...
