Overview of products and scientific results

R. Adam, +354 more
TL;DR: The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, dedicated to studying the early Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched 14~May 2009 and scanned the microwave and submillimetre sky continuously between 12~August 2009 and 23~October 2013 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the dark energy clustering properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the coupling of the dark energy scalar field to the Ricci scalar induces a dragging of its density perturbations through the general relativistic gravitational potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early time perturbations behavior in scalar field cosmologies

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of the initial conditions and behaviour of the perturbations in scalar field cosmology with general potential was considered, and the results concerning the power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization anisotropies were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Power spectrum of the polarized diffuse Galactic radio emission

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the available polarization surveys of the Galactic emission to estimate to what extent it may be a serious hindrance to forthcoming experiments aimed at detecting the polarized component of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weak lensing in generalized gravity theories

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the theory of weak gravitational lensing to cosmologies with generalized gravity, described in the Lagrangian by a generic function depending on the Ricci scalar and a nonminimal coupled scalar field.
