Cosmology from Planck
نویسنده
چکیده
I briefly review some of the main scientific outputs expected from the upcoming Planck mission. Planck will map the CMB sky with 5’ resolution and μK sensitivity, with minimal foreground contribution and superb control on systematics. It will collect the entire information enclosed in the temperature primary anisotropy signal and will also get a good measurement of the polarized component of the CMB. This will have profound implications on our knowledge of the physics of the early universe and on the determination of cosmological parameters.

Planck 2015 results . XIII . Cosmological parameters
This paper presents cosmological results based on full-mission Planck observations of temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Our results are in very good agreement with the 2013 analysis of the Planck nominal-mission temperature data, but with increased precision. The temperature and polarization power spectra are consistent with the standa...

The European Space Agency’s Planck satellite, dedicated to studying the early universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched on 14 May 2009 and has been surveying the microwave and submillimetre sky continuously since August 2009. In March 2013, ESA and the Planck Collaboration publicly released the initial cosmology products based on the the first 15.5 months of Planck operations, along w...
متن کاملPlanck 2015 results . XVIII . Background geometry and topology of the Universe
Maps of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization from the 2015 release of Planck data provide the highest-quality full-sky view of the surface of last scattering available to date. This allows us to detect possible departures from a globally isotropic cosmology. We present the first searches using CMB polarization for correlations induced by a possible non-trivial topology...
متن کاملNonsingular Cosmology and Planck Scale Physics ⋆
New Planck scale physics may solve the singularity problems of classical general relativity and may lead to interesting consequences for very early Universe cosmology. Two approaches to these questions are reviewed in this article. The first is an effective action approach to including the effects of Planck scale physics in the basic framework of general relativity. It is shown that effective a...
