The impact of halo shapes on the bispectrum in cosmology
We use the triaxial halo model formalism of Smith & Watts (2005) to investigate the impact of dark matter halo shapes on the cosmological bispectrum. Analytic expressions for the dark matter distribution are derived and subsequently evaluated through numerical integration. Two models for the ellipsoidal halo profiles are considered: a toy model designed to isolate the effects of halo shape on t...
متن کامل21 cm cosmology in the 21st century.
Imaging the Universe during the first hundreds of millions of years remains one of the exciting challenges facing modern cosmology. Observations of the redshifted 21 cm line of atomic hydrogen offer the potential of opening a new window into this epoch. This will transform our understanding of the formation of the first stars and galaxies and of the thermal history of the Universe. A new genera...
متن کاملAdapting and expanding interferometric arrays
We outline here a simple yet efficient method for finding optimized configurations of the elements of radio-astronomical interferometers with fixed pad locations. The method can be successfully applied, as we demonstrate, to define new configurations when changes to the array take place. This may include the addition of new pads or new antennas, or the loss of pads or antennas. Our method is ba...
متن کاملQuantum Money and Scalable 21-cm Cosmology
This thesis covers two unrelated topics. The first part of my thesis is about quantum money, a cryptographic protocol in which a mint can generate a quantum state that no one can copy. In public-key quantum money, anyone can verify that a given quantum state came from the mint, and in collision-free quantum money, even the mint cannot generate two valid quantum bills with the same serial number...
متن کاملUniformly Redundant Arrays
Uniformly Redundant Arrays (URA’s) are two–dimensional binary arrays with constant sidelobes of their periodic autocorrelation function. They are widely agreed upon to be optimum mask patterns for coded aperture imaging, particularly in imaging systems with a cyclic coded mask. In this paper, a survey of all currently known construction methods for URA’s is given and the sizes and open fraction...
