1. Signatures of Cosmic Reionization on the 21cm 3-Point Correlation

Kai Hoffmann

10/3/18, 9:30 AM

Constraints on reionization models from future 21cm observations will rely on the statistical characterization of the spatial fluctuations in the observed 21cm brightness temperature. So far studies have focused almost exclusively on second-order statistics, such as 2-point correlations, to characterize these fluctuations, neglecting a significant amount of information, which is encoded in the...

2. Planck Legacy

Martin Kunz

10/3/18, 10:45 AM

I will discuss the cosmological legacy from the Planck mission, with the 2018 constraints on cosmological parameters, with emphasis on the dark energy and modified gravity results.

3. Recent progress in the theory of LSS

Marko Simonović

10/3/18, 11:45 AM

In this talk, I will review some successes of perturbation theory approach to clustering of dark matter and biased tracers, including calculations of the broadband of the power spectrum, BAO resummation and the prediction of the shape of the BAO peak in the correlation function. I will also briefly talk about some more recent results, such as fast algorithms for calculating loop integrals,...
