Abstract: Observing in six frequency bands from 27 to 280 GHz over a large sky area, the Simons Observatory (SO) is poised to address many questions in Galactic astrophysics in addition to its principal cosmological goals. In this work, we provide quantitative forecasts on astrophysical parameters of interest for a range of Galactic science cases. We find that SO can: constrain the frequency spectrum of polarized dust emission at a level of Δ β _d ≲ 0.01 and thus test models of dust composition that predict that β _d in polarization differs from that measured in total intensity; measure the correlation coefficient between polarized dust and synchrotron emission with a factor of two greater precision than current constraints; exclude the nonexistence of exo-Oort clouds at roughly 2.9 σ if the true fraction is similar to the detection rate of giant planets; map more than 850 molecular clouds with at least 50 independent polarization measurements at 1 pc resolution; detect or place upper limits on the polarization fractions of CO(2–1) emission and anomalous microwave emission at the 0.1% level in select regions; and measure the correlation coefficient between optical starlight polarization and microwave polarized dust emission in 1° patches for all lines of sight with N _H ≳ 2 × 10 ^20 cm ^−2 . The goals and forecasts outlined here provide a roadmap for other microwave polarization experiments to expand their scientific scope via Milky Way astrophysics. ^37

Abstract: We introduce and validate a delensing framework for the Simons Observatory (SO), which will be used to improve constraints on inflationary gravitational waves by reducing the lensing noise in measurements of the B modes in CMB polarization. SO will initially observe CMB by using three small aperture telescopes and one large-aperture telescope. While polarization maps from small-aperture telescopes will be used to constrain inflationary gravitational waves, the internal CMB lensing maps used to delens will be reconstructed from data from the large-aperture telescope. Since lensing maps obtained from the SO data will be noise dominated on subdegree scales, the SO lensing framework constructs a template for lensing-induced B modes by combining internal CMB lensing maps with maps of the cosmic infrared background from Planck as well as galaxy density maps from the LSST survey. We construct a likelihood for constraining the tensor-to-scalar ratio r that contains auto and cross spectra between observed B modes and the lensing B-mode template. We test our delensing analysis pipeline on map-based simulations containing survey nonidealities, but that, for this initial exploration, does not include contamination from Galactic and extragalactic foregrounds. We find that the SO survey masking and inhomogeneous and atmospheric noise have very little impact on the delensing performance, and the r constraint becomes σ(r)≈0.0015 which is close to that obtained from the idealized forecasts in the absence of the Galactic foreground and is nearly a factor of 2 tighter than without delensing. We also find that uncertainties in the external large-scale structure tracers used in our multitracer delensing pipeline lead to bias much smaller than the 1σ statistical uncertainties.

Abstract: The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new cosmic microwave background experiment being built on Cerro Toco in Chile, due to begin observations in the early 2020s. We describe the scientific goals of the experiment, motivate the design, and forecast its performance. SO will measure the temperature and polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background in six frequency bands centered at: 27, 39, 93, 145, 225 and 280 GHz. The initial configuration of SO will have three small-aperture 0.5-m telescopes and one large-aperture 6-m telescope, with a total of 60,000 cryogenic bolometers. Our key science goals are to characterize the primordial perturbations, measure the number of relativistic species and the mass of neutrinos, test for deviations from a cosmological constant, improve our understanding of galaxy evolution, and constrain the duration of reionization. The small aperture telescopes will target the largest angular scales observable from Chile, mapping ≈ 10% of the sky to a white noise level of 2 μK-arcmin in combined 93 and 145 GHz bands, to measure the primordial tensor-to-scalar ratio, r, at a target level of σ(r)=0.003. The large aperture telescope will map ≈ 40% of the sky at arcminute angular resolution to an expected white noise level of 6 μK-arcmin in combined 93 and 145 GHz bands, overlapping with the majority of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope sky region and partially with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. With up to an order of magnitude lower polarization noise than maps from the Planck satellite, the high-resolution sky maps will constrain cosmological parameters derived from the damping tail, gravitational lensing of the microwave background, the primordial bispectrum, and the thermal and kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects, and will aid in delensing the large-angle polarization signal to measure the tensor-to-scalar ratio. The survey will also provide a legacy catalog of 16,000 galaxy clusters and more than 20,000 extragalactic sources.

7. Mitigating the impact of the CIB on galaxy cluster SZ detection with spectrally constrained matched filters

Abstract: Galaxy clusters detected through the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect are a powerful cosmological probe from which constraints on cosmological parameters such as $\Omega_{\mathrm{m}}$ and $\sigma_8$ can be derived. The measured cluster tSZ signal can be, however, contaminated by Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) emission, as the CIB is spatially correlated with the cluster tSZ field. We quantify the extent of this contamination by applying the iterative multi-frequency matched filter (iMMF) cluster-finding method to mock Planck-like data from the Websky simulation. We find a significant bias in the retrieved cluster tSZ observables (signal-to-noise and Compton-$y$ amplitude), at the level of about $0.5\, \sigma$ per cluster. This CIB-induced bias translates into about $20$% fewer detections than expected if all the Planck HFI channels are used in the analysis, which can potentially bias derived cosmological constraints. We introduce a spectrally constrained iMMF, or sciMMF, which proves to be highly effective at suppressing this CIB-induced bias from the tSZ cluster observables by spectrally deprojecting the cluster-correlated CIB at the expense of a small signal-to-noise penalty. Our sciMMF is also robust to modelling uncertainties, namely to the choice of deprojection spectral energy distribution. With it, CIB-free cluster catalogues can be constructed and used for cosmological inference. We provide a publicly available implementation of our sciMMF as part of the SZiFi package., Comment: 21 pages, submitted to MNRAS, comments welcome

8. Using the cosmological recombination radiation to probe early dark energy and fundamental constant variations

Abstract: The cosmological recombination radiation (CRR) is one of the guaranteed spectral distortion signals from the early Universe. The CRR photons from hydrogen and helium pre-date the last scattering process and as such allow probing physical phenomena in the pre-recombination era. Here we compute the modifications to the CRR caused by early dark energy models and varying fundamental constants. These new physics examples have seen increased recent activity in connection with the Hubble tension, motivating the exploratory study presented here. The associated CRR responses are spectrally-rich but the level of the signals is small. We forecast the possible sensitivity of future spectrometers to these effects. Our estimates demonstrate that the CRR directly depends to changes in the expansion history and recombination physics during the pre-recombination era. However, futuristic sensitivities are required for spectrometer-only constraints that are competitive with other cosmological probes. Nevertheless, measurements of the CRR can directly reach into phases that otherwise remain inaccessible, highlighting the potential these types of observations could have as a probe of the early Universe. A combination with ${\it Planck}$ data further shows that a synergistic approach is very promising., 17 pages, 25 figures, 4 tables; submitted to MNRAS

9. Can accreting primordial black holes explain the excess radio background?

Abstract: The excess radio background seen at $\simeq 0.1-10\,{\rm GHz}$ has stimulated much scientific debate in the past years. Recently, it was pointed out that the soft photon emission from accreting primordial black holes may be able to explain this signal. We show that the expected ultraviolet photon emission from these accreting black holes would ionize the universe completely at $z>6$ and thus wash out the 21 cm absorption signature at $z\simeq$ 20 as well as be in tension with existing cosmic microwave background anisotropy and average spectral distortion limits. We discuss possible augmentations of the model; however, it seems that an explanation of radio excess by accreting primordial black holes is not well-justified., Accepted version

Abstract: The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect is a powerful tool in modern cosmology. With future observations promising ever improving SZ measurements, the relativistic corrections to the SZ signals from galaxy groups and clusters are increasingly relevant. As such, it is important to understand the differences between three temperature measures: (a) the average relativistic SZ (rSZ) temperature, (b) the mass-weighted temperature relevant for the thermal SZ (tSZ) effect, and (c) the X-ray spectroscopic temperature. In this work, we compare these cluster temperatures, as predicted by the {\sc Bahamas} \& {\sc Macsis}, {\sc Illustris-TNG}, {\sc Magneticum}, and {\sc The Three Hundred Project} simulations. Despite the wide range of simulation parameters, we find the SZ temperatures are consistent across the simulations. We estimate a $\simeq 10\%$ level correction from rSZ to clusters with $Y\simeq10^{-4}$~Mpc$^{-2}$. Our analysis confirms a systematic offset between the three temperature measures; with the rSZ temperature $\simeq 20\%$ larger than the other measures, and diverging further at higher redshifts. We demonstrate that these measures depart from simple self-similar evolution and explore how they vary with the defined radius of haloes. We investigate how different feedback prescriptions and resolution affect the observed temperatures, and discover the SZ temperatures are rather insensitive to these details. The agreement between simulations indicates an exciting avenue for observational and theoretical exploration, determining the extent of relativistic SZ corrections. We provide multiple simulation-based fits to the scaling relations for use in future SZ modelling., Accepted by MNRAS

11. Galaxy cluster SZ detection with unbiased noise estimation: an iterative approach

Abstract: Multi-frequency matched filters (MMFs) are routinely used to detect galaxy clusters from CMB data through the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect, leading to cluster catalogues that can be used for cosmological inference. In order to be applied, MMFs require knowledge of the cross-frequency power spectra of the noise in the maps. This is typically estimated from the data and taken to be equal to the power spectra of the data, assuming the contribution from the tSZ signal of the detections to be negligible. Using both analytical arguments and \textit{Planck}-like mock observations, we show that doing so causes the MMF noise to be overestimated, inducing a loss of signal-to-noise. Furthermore, the MMF cluster observable (the amplitude $\hat{y}_0$ or the signal-to-noise $q$) does not behave as expected, which can potentially bias cosmological inference. In particular, the observable becomes biased with respect to its theoretical prediction and displays a variance that also differs from its predicted value. We propose an iterative MMF (iMMF) approach designed to mitigate these effects. In this approach, after a first standard MMF step, the noise power spectra are reestimated by masking the detections from the data, delivering an updated iterative cluster catalogue. Applying our iMMF to our \textit{Planck}-like mock observations, we find that the aforementioned effects are completely suppressed. This leads to a signal-to-noise gain relative to the standard MMF, with more significant detections and a higher number of them, and to a cluster observable with the expected theoretical properties, thus eliminating any potential biases in the cosmological constraints., 16 pages, 11 figures, submitted for publication to MNRAS

Abstract: High-significance measurements of the monopole thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich CMB spectral distortions have the potential to tightly constrain poorly understood baryonic feedback processes. The sky-averaged Compton-y distortion and its relativistic correction are measures of the total thermal energy in electrons in the observable universe and their mean temperature. We use the CAMELS suite of hydrodynamic simulations to explore possible constraints on parameters describing the subgrid implementation of feedback from active galactic nuclei and supernovae, assuming a PIXIE-like measurement. The small 25 Mpc/h CAMELS boxes present challenges due to the significant cosmic variance. We utilize machine learning to construct interpolators through the noisy simulation data. Using the halo model, we translate the simulation halo mass functions into correction factors to reduce cosmic variance where required. Our results depend on the subgrid model. In the case of IllustrisTNG, we find that the best-determined parameter combination can be measured to ~2% and corresponds to a product of AGN and SN feedback. In the case of SIMBA, the tightest constraint is ~0.2% on a ratio between AGN and SN feedback. A second orthogonal parameter combination can be measured to ~8%. Our results demonstrate the significant constraining power a measurement of the late-time spectral distortion monopoles would have for baryonic feedback models., 10+5 pages, 7 figures; matches PRD published version

Abstract: E. Abdalla, G. F. Abellán, A. Aboubrahim et al., The standard Λ Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model provides a good description of a wide range of astrophysical and cosmological data. However, there are a few big open questions that make the standard model look like an approximation to a more realistic scenario yet to be found. In this paper, we list a few important goals that need to be addressed in the next decade, taking into account the current discordances between the different cosmological probes, such as the disagreement in the value of the Hubble constant H0, the σ8–S8 tension, and other less statistically significant anomalies. While these discordances can still be in part the result of systematic errors, their persistence after several years of accurate analysis strongly hints at cracks in the standard cosmological scenario and the necessity for new physics or generalisations beyond the standard model. In this paper, we focus on the 5.0σ tension between the Planck CMB estimate of the Hubble constant H0 and the SH0ES collaboration measurements. After showing the H0 evaluations made from different teams using different methods and geometric calibrations, we list a few interesting new physics models that could alleviate this tension and discuss how the next decade's experiments will be crucial. Moreover, we focus on the tension of the Planck CMB data with weak lensing measurements and redshift surveys, about the value of the matter energy density Ωm, and the amplitude or rate of the growth of structure (σ8, fσ8). We list a few interesting models proposed for alleviating this tension, and we discuss the importance of trying to fit a full array of data with a single model and not just one parameter at a time. Additionally, we present a wide range of other less discussed anomalies at a statistical significance level lower than the H0–S8 tensions which may also constitute hints towards new physics, and we discuss possible generic theoretical approaches that can collectively explain the non-standard nature of these signals. Finally, we give an overview of upgraded experiments and next-generation space missions and facilities on Earth that will be of crucial importance to address all these open questions., Amin Aboubrahim is supported by the BMBF under contract 05P21PMCAA and by the DFG through the Research Training Network 2149 “Strong and Weak Interactions - from Hadrons to Dark Matter”.

15. Refined modelling of the radio SZ signal: kinematic terms, relativistic temperature corrections and anisotropies in the radio background

Abstract: A significant cosmological radio background will inevitably lead to a radio Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. In the simplest limit, the combined signal from the scattered radio and cosmic microwave background exhibits a null at around $\nu \simeq 735$ MHz. Here, we show that kinematic and relativistic temperature corrections to this radio SZ signal are easily calculable. We treat both the cluster and observer motion, and the scattering of anisotropies in the radio background, highlighting how the spectrum of the radio SZ effect is affected in each case. Although relativistic temperature corrections only enter at the level of a few percent, our expressions allow high-precision modelling of these terms. By measuring the SZ signal around the radio null, one is in principle able to place constraints on the properties of a cosmological radio background. A combination with standard SZ measurements from large cluster samples could provide a promising avenue towards breaking degeneracies between different contributions. Stacking analyses can reduce the effect of kinematic corrections and dipolar anisotropies in the radio background, thereby providing a way to constrain the redshift dependence of the average radio background. Our qualitative discussion is meant to give an analytic understanding of the various effects and also motivate further studies with the aim to obtain quantitative forecasts of their observability. At this stage, a detection of the corrections seems rather futuristic, but the advent of large SZ and X-ray cluster samples could drastically improve our ability to disentangle various effects., Comment: Accepted by MNRAS

16. Leverage on small-scale primordial non-Gaussianity through cross-correlations between CMB $E$-mode and $\mu$-distortion anisotropies

Abstract: Multifield inflation models and non-Bunch–Davies vacuum initial conditions both predict sizeable non-Gaussian primordial perturbations and anisotropic μ-type spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) blackbody. While CMB anisotropies allow us to probe non-Gaussianity at wavenumbers k≃0.05Mpc−1⁠, μ-distortion anisotropies are related to non-Gaussianity of primordial perturbation modes with much larger wavenumbers, k≃740Mpc−1⁠. Through cross-correlations between CMB and μ-distortion anisotropies, one can therefore shed light on the aforementioned inflation models. We investigate the ability of a future CMB satellite imager like LiteBIRD to measure μT and μE cross-power spectra between anisotropic μ-distortions and CMB temperature and E-mode polarization anisotropies in the presence of foregrounds, and derive LiteBIRD forecasts on fμNL(k≃740Mpc−1)⁠. We show that μE cross-correlations with CMB polarization provide more constraining power on fμNL than μT cross-correlations in the presence of foregrounds, and the joint combination of μT and μE observables adds further leverage to the detection of small-scale primordial non-Gaussianity. For multifield inflation, we find that LiteBIRD would detect fμNL=4500 at 5σ significance after foreground removal, and achieve a minimum error of σ(fμNL=0)≃800 at 68 per cent CL by combining CMB temperature and polarization. Due to the huge dynamic range of wavenumbers between CMB and μ-distortion anisotropies, such large fμNL values would still be consistent with current CMB constraints in the case of very mild scale dependence of primordial non-Gaussianity. Anisotropic spectral distortions thus provide a new path, complementary to CMB B-modes, to probe inflation with LiteBIRD., This work was supported by the ERC Consolidator Grant CMBSPEC (No. 725456) as part of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.

Abstract: The standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmological model provides an amazing description of a wide range of astrophysical and astronomical data. However, there are a few big open questions, that make the standard model look like a first-order approximation to a more realistic scenario that still needs to be fully understood. In this Letter of Interest we will list a few important goals that need to be addressed in the next decade, also taking into account the current discordances present between the different cosmological probes, as the Hubble constant H-0 value, the sigma S-8(8) tension, and the anomalies present in the Planck results. Finally, we will give an overview of upgraded experiments and next-generation space-missions and facilities on Earth that will be of crucial importance to address all these questions.

Abstract: Varying fundamental constants (VFC) [e.g., the fine-structure constant, $\alpha_{\rm EM}$] can arise in numerous extended cosmologies. Through their effect on the decoupling of baryons and photons during last scattering and reionisation, these models can be directly constrained using measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies. Previous investigations focused mainly on time-independent changes to the values of fundamental constants. Here we generalize to time-dependent variations. Instead of directly studying various VFC parameterizations, we perform a model-independent principal component analysis (PCA), directly using an eigenmode decomposition of the varying constant during recombination. After developing the formalism, we use Planck 2018 data to obtain new VFC limits, showing that three independent VFC modes can be constrained at present. No indications for significant departures from the standard model are found with Planck data. Cosmic variance limited modes are also compared and simple forecasts for The Simons Observatory are carried out, showing that in the future improvements of the current constraints by a factor of $\simeq 3$ can be anticipated. Our modes focus solely on VFC at redshifts $z\geq 300$. This implies that they do not capture some of the degrees of freedom relating to the reionisation era. This aspect provides important new insights into the possible origin of the Hubble tension, hinting that indeed a combined modification of recombination and reionisation physics could be at work. An extended PCA, covering both recombination and reionisation simultaneously, could shed more light on this question, as we emphasize here., Comment: 22 pages, 25 figures, submitted to MNRAS

Abstract: Delabrouille, J., et al., This paper discusses the science case for a sensitive spectro-polarimetric survey of the microwave sky. Such a survey would provide a tomographic and dynamic census of the three-dimensional distribution of hot gas, velocity flows, early metals, dust, and mass distribution in the entire Hubble volume, exploit CMB temperature and polarisation anisotropies down to fundamental limits, and track energy injection and absorption into the radiation background across cosmic times by measuring spectral distortions of the CMB blackbody emission. In addition to its exceptional capability for cosmology and fundamental physics, such a survey would provide an unprecedented view of microwave emissions at sub-arcminute to few-arcminute angular resolution in hundreds of frequency channels, a data set that would be of immense legacy value for many branches of astrophysics. We propose that this survey be carried out with a large space mission featuring a broad-band polarised imager and a moderate resolution spectro-imager at the focus of a 3.5 m aperture telescope actively cooled to about 8K, complemented with absolutely-calibrated Fourier Transform Spectrometer modules observing at degree-scale angular resolution in the 10–2000 GHz frequency range. We propose two observing modes: a survey mode to map the entire sky as well as a few selected wide fields, and an observatory mode for deeper observations of regions of specific interest., This work has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement No 725456, CMBSPEC) as well as the Royal Society (grants UF130435 and RG140523).

23. Spectral distortion constraints on photon injection from low-mass decaying particles

Abstract: Spectral distortions (SDs) of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provide a powerful tool for studying particle physics. Here we compute the distortion signals from decaying particles that convert directly into photons at different epochs during cosmic history, focusing on injection energies $E_\mathrm{inj}\lesssim 20\,\mathrm{keV}$. We deliver a comprehensive library of SD solutions that can be used to study a wide range of particle physics scenarios. We use {\tt CosmoTherm} to compute the SD signals, including effects on the ionization history and opacities of the Universe. We also consider the effect of blackbody-induced stimulated decay, which can modify the injection history significantly. Then, we use data from COBE/FIRAS and EDGES to constrain the properties of the decaying particles. We explore scenarios where these provide a dark matter (DM) candidate or constitute only a small fraction of DM. We complement the SD constraints with CMB anisotropy constraints, highlighting new effects from injections at very-low photon energies ($h\nu\lesssim 10^{-4}\,\mathrm{eV}$). Our model-independent constraints exhibit rich structures in the lifetime-energy domain, covering injection energies $E_\mathrm{inj}\simeq 10^{-10}\mathrm{eV}-10\mathrm{keV}$ and lifetimes $\tau_X\simeq 10^5\,\mathrm{s}-10^{33}\mathrm{s}$. We discuss the constraints on axions and axion-like particles that convert directly into two photons, revising existing SD constraints in the literature. Our limits are competitive with other constraints for axion masses $m_a c^2\gtrsim 27\,\mathrm{eV}$ and we find that simple estimates based on the overall energetics are generally inaccurate. Future CMB spectrometers could significantly improve the obtained constraints, thus providing an important complementary probe of early-universe particle physics., Comment: match published version

Abstract: The precision of recent experiments such as ${\it Planck}$ have allowed us to constrain standard and non-standard physics (e.g., due to dark matter annihilation or varying fundamental constants) during the recombination epoch. However, we can also probe this era of cosmic history using model-independent variations of the free electron fraction, $X_{\rm e}$, which in turn affects the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background. In this paper, we improve on the previous efforts to construct and constrain these generalised perturbations in the ionization history, deriving new optimized eigenmodes based on the full Planck 2015 likelihood data, introducing the new module 'FEARec++'. We develop a direct likelihood sampling method for attaining the numerical derivatives of the standard and non-standard parameters, and discuss complications arising from the stability of the likelihood code. We improve the amplitude constraints of the ${\it Planck}$ 2015 principal components constructed here, $\mu_1=-0.09\pm0.12$, $\mu_2=-0.17\pm0.20$ and $\mu_3=-0.30\pm0.35$, finding no indication for departures from the standard recombination scenario. The third mode error is reduced by $60\%$. We utilise an efficient eigen-analyser that keeps the cross-correlations of the first three eigenmodes to $\xi_{\mu,\mu'}, Comment: 17 pages, 20 figures, 7 tables; accepted for publication in MNRAS

Abstract: Planck Collaboration: et al., arXiv:1807.06209v3, We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, combining information from the temperature and polarization maps and the lensing reconstruction. Compared to the 2015 results, improved measurements of large-scale polarization allow the reionization optical depth to be measured with higher precision, leading to significant gains in the precision of other correlated parameters. Improved modelling of the small-scale polarization leads to more robust constraints on many parameters, with residual modelling uncertainties estimated to affect them only at the 0.5σ level. We find good consistency with the standard spatially-flat 6-parameter ΛCDM cosmology having a power-law spectrum of adiabatic scalar perturbations (denoted “base ΛCDM” in this paper), from polarization, temperature, and lensing, separately and in combination. A combined analysis gives dark matter density Ωch2 = 0.120 ± 0.001, baryon density Ωbh2 = 0.0224 ± 0.0001, scalar spectral index ns = 0.965 ± 0.004, and optical depth τ = 0.054 ± 0.007 (in this abstract we quote 68% confidence regions on measured parameters and 95% on upper limits). The angular acoustic scale is measured to 0.03% precision, with 100θ* = 1.0411 ± 0.0003. These results are only weakly dependent on the cosmological model and remain stable, with somewhat increased errors, in many commonly considered extensions. Assuming the base-ΛCDM cosmology, the inferred (model-dependent) late-Universe parameters are: Hubble constant H0 = (67.4 ± 0.5) km s−1 Mpc−1; matter density parameter Ωm = 0.315 ± 0.007; and matter fluctuation amplitude σ8 = 0.811 ± 0.006. We find no compelling evidence for extensions to the base-ΛCDM model. Combining with baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements (and considering single-parameter extensions) we constrain the effective extra relativistic degrees of freedom to be Neff = 2.99 ± 0.17, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction Neff = 3.046, and find that the neutrino mass is tightly constrained to ∑mν < 0.12 eV. The CMB spectra continue to prefer higher lensing amplitudes than predicted in base ΛCDM at over 2σ, which pulls some parameters that affect the lensing amplitude away from the ΛCDM model; however, this is not supported by the lensing reconstruction or (in models that also change the background geometry) BAO data. The joint constraint with BAO measurements on spatial curvature is consistent with a flat universe, ΩK = 0.001 ± 0.002. Also combining with Type Ia supernovae (SNe), the dark-energy equation of state parameter is measured to be w0 = −1.03 ± 0.03, consistent with a cosmological constant. We find no evidence for deviations from a purely power-law primordial spectrum, and combining with data from BAO, BICEP2, and Keck Array data, we place a limit on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r0.002 < 0.06. Standard big-bang nucleosynthesis predictions for the helium and deuterium abundances for the base-ΛCDM cosmology are in excellent agreement with observations. The Planck base-ΛCDM results are in good agreement with BAO, SNe, and some galaxy lensing observations, but in slight tension with the Dark Energy Survey’s combined-probe results including galaxy clustering (which prefers lower fluctuation amplitudes or matter density parameters), and in significant, 3.6σ, tension with local measurements of the Hubble constant (which prefer a higher value). Simple model extensions that can partially resolve these tensions are not favoured by the Planck data., The Planck Collaboration acknowledges the support of: ESA; CNES, and CNRS/INSU-IN2P3-INP (France); ASI, CNR, and INAF (Italy); NASA and DoE (USA); STFC and UKSA (UK); CSIC, MINECO, JA, and RES (Spain); Tekes, AoF, and CSC (Finland); DLR and MPG (Germany); CSA (Canada); DTU Space (Denmark); SER/SSO (Switzerland); RCN (Norway); SFI (Ireland); FCT/MCTES (Portugal); ERC and PRACE (EU).

Abstract: Constraints on dark matter annihilation or decay offer unique insights into the nature of dark matter. We illustrate how surveys dedicated to detect the highly redshifted 21 cm signal from the dark ages will offer a new window into properties of particle dark matter. The 21 cm intensity mapping signal and its fluctuations are sensitive to energy injection from annihilation or decay of long-lived particles in a way that is complementary to other probes. We present forecasted constraints from forthcoming and next-generation radio surveys. We show that, while SKA might be capable of a detection for some cases, the most promising opportunity to detect dark matter in the 21 cm intensity mapping signal is with a futuristic radio array on the lunar far-side, with the potential to detect a signal many orders of magnitude weaker than current or maximal constraints from other probes., Funding for this work was partially provided by the Spanish MINECO under projects AYA2014-58747- P AEI/FEDER UE and MDM-2014-0369 of ICCUB (Unidad de Excelencia Maria de Maeztu).

Abstract: Compton scattering between electrons and photons plays a crucial role in astrophysical plasmas. Many important aspects of this process can be captured by using the so-called Compton scattering kernel. For isotropic media, exact analytic expressions (valid at all electron and photon energies) do exist but are hampered by numerical issues and often are presented in complicated ways. In this paper, we summarize, simplify and improve existing analytic expressions for the Compton scattering kernel, with an eye on clarity and physical understanding. We provide a detailed overview of important properties of the kernel covering a wide range of energies and highlighting aspects that have not been appreciated as much previously. We discuss analytic expressions for the moments of the kernel, comparing various approximations and demonstrating their precision. We also illustrate the properties of the scattering kernel for thermal electrons at various temperatures and photon energies, introducing new analytic approximations valid to high temperatures. The obtained improved formulae for the kernel and its moments should prove useful in many astrophysical computations, one of them being the evolution of spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background in the early Universe. A novel code, CSpack, for efficient computations of the Compton scattering kernel and its properties (in the future also including anisotropies in the initial electron and photon distributions) is being developed in a series of papers and will be available within one month., Comment: Significantly edited based on the referee's comments. 18 pages + 3 pages appendix, 17 figures.

Abstract: We consistently include the effect of massive neutrinos in the thermal Sunyaev Zeldovich (SZ) power spectrum and cluster counts analyses, highlighting subtle dependencies on the total neutrino mass and data combination. In particular, we find that using the transfer functions for cold dark matter (CDM) + baryons in the computation of the halo mass function, instead of the transfer functions including neutrino perturbations, as prescribed in recent work, yields an ≈0.25 per cent downward shift of the σ8 constraint from tSZ power spectrum data, with a fiducial neutrino mass Σmν = 0.06 eV. In ΛCDM, with an X-ray mass bias corresponding to the expected hydrostatic mass bias, i.e. (1 − b) ≃ 0.8, our constraints from Planck SZ data are consistent with the latest results from SPT, DES-Y1, and KiDS+VIKING-450. In νΛCDM, our joint analyses of Planck SZ with Planck 2015 primary CMB yield a small improvement on the total neutrino mass bound compared to the Planck 2015 primary CMB constraint, as well as (1 − b) = 0.64 ± 0.04 (68 per cent CL). For forecasts, we find that competitive neutrino mass measurements using cosmic variance limited SZ power spectrum require masking the heaviest clusters and probing the small-scale SZ power spectrum up to ℓmax ≈ 104. Although this is challenging, we find that SZ power spectrum can realistically be used to tightly constrain intracluster medium properties: we forecast a 2 per cent determination of the X-ray mass bias by combining CMB-S4 and our mock SZ power spectrum with ℓmax = 103.

Abstract: Cosmological observations offer unique and robust avenues for probing the fundamental nature of dark matter particles-they broadly test a range of compelling theoretical scenarios, often surpassing or complementing the reach of terrestrial and other experiments. We discuss observational and theoretical advancements that will play a pivotal role in realizing a strong program of cosmological searches for the identity of dark matter in the coming decade. Specifically, we focus on measurements of the cosmic-microwave-background anisotropy and spectral distortions, and tracers of structure (such as the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest, galaxies, and the cosmological 21-cm signal)., Comment: Astro2020 Decadal Survey science white paper; list of endorsers available at https://github.com/veragluscevic/Astro2020-DM-Cosmology-Endorsers

Abstract: In recent years, observations of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect have had significant cosmological implications and have begun to serve as a powerful and independent probe of the warm and hot gas that pervades the Universe. As a few pioneering studies have already shown, SZ observations both complement X-ray observations -- the traditional tool for studying the intra-cluster medium -- and bring unique capabilities for probing astrophysical processes at high redshifts and out to the low-density regions in the outskirts of galaxy clusters. Advances in SZ observations have largely been driven by developments in centimetre-, millimetre-, and submillimetre-wave instrumentation on ground-based facilities, with notable exceptions including results from the Planck satellite. Here we review the utility of the thermal, kinematic, relativistic, non-thermal, and polarised SZ effects for studies of galaxy clusters and other large scale structures, incorporating the many advances over the past two decades that have impacted SZ theory, simulations, and observations. We also discuss observational results, techniques, and challenges, and aim to give an overview and perspective on emerging opportunities, with the goal of highlighting some of the exciting new directions in this field., Comment: This version corrects a few typos. 72 pages

Abstract: We forecast the main cosmological parameter constraints achievable with the CORE space mission which is dedicated to mapping the polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). CORE was recently submitted in response to ESA's fifth call for medium-sized mission proposals (M5). Here we report the results from our pre-submission study of the impact of various instrumental options, in particular the telescope size and sensitivity level, and review the great, transformative potential of the mission as proposed. Specifically, we assess the impact on a broad range of fundamental parameters of our Universe as a function of the expected CMB characteristics, with other papers in the series focusing on controlling astrophysical and instrumental residual systematics. In this paper, we assume that only a few central CORE frequency channels are usable for our purpose, all others being devoted to the cleaning of astrophysical contaminants. On the theoretical side, we assume LCDM as our general framework and quantify the improvement provided by CORE over the current constraints from the Planck 2015 release. We also study the joint sensitivity of CORE and of future Baryon Acoustic Oscillation and Large Scale Structure experiments like DESI and Euclid. Specific constraints on the physics of inflation are presented in another paper of the series. In addition to the six parameters of the base LCDM, which describe the matter content of a spatially flat universe with adiabatic and scalar primordial fluctuations from inflation, we derive the precision achievable on parameters like those describing curvature, neutrino physics, extra light relics, primordial helium abundance, dark matter annihilation, recombination physics, variation of fundamental constants, dark energy, modified gravity, reionization and cosmic birefringence.

Abstract: Observations of the CMB today allow us to answer detailed questions about the properties of our Universe, targeting both standard and non-standard physics. In this paper, we study the effects of varying fundamental constants (i.e., the fine-structure constant, $\alpha_{\rm EM}$, and electron rest mass, $m_{\rm e}$) around last scattering using the recombination codes CosmoRec and Recfast++. We approach the problem in a pedagogical manner, illustrating the importance of various effects on the free electron fraction, Thomson visibility function and CMB power spectra, highlighting various degeneracies. We demonstrate that the simpler Recfast++ treatment (based on a three-level atom approach) can be used to accurately represent the full computation of CosmoRec. We also include explicit time-dependent variations using a phenomenological power-law description. We reproduce previous Planck 2013 results in our analysis. Assuming constant variations relative to the standard values, we find the improved constraints $\alpha_{\rm EM}/\alpha_{\rm EM,0}=0.9993\pm 0.0025$ (CMB only) and $m_{\rm e}/m_{\rm e,0}= 1.0039 \pm 0.0074$ (including BAO) using Planck 2015 data. For a redshift-dependent variation, $\alpha_{\rm EM}(z)=\alpha_{\rm EM}(z_0)\,[(1+z)/1100]^p$ with $\alpha_{\rm EM}(z_0)\equiv\alpha_{\rm EM,0}$ at $z_0=1100$, we obtain $p=0.0008\pm 0.0025$. Allowing simultaneous variations of $\alpha_{\rm EM}(z_0)$ and $p$ yields $\alpha_{\rm EM}(z_0)/\alpha_{\rm EM,0} = 0.9998\pm 0.0036$ and $p = 0.0006\pm 0.0036$. We also discuss combined limits on $\alpha_{\rm EM}$ and $m_{\rm e}$. Our analysis shows that existing data is not only sensitive to the value of the fundamental constants around recombination but also its first time derivative. This suggests that a wider class of varying fundamental constant models can be probed using the CMB., Comment: 12 pages, 14 figures, 2 tables, updated to match the published version to MNRAS, fixed references

Abstract: The small-scale crisis, discrepancies between observations and N-body simulations, may imply suppressed matter fluctuations on subgalactic distance scales. Such a suppression could be caused by some early-universe mechanism (e.g., broken scale invariance during inflation), leading to a modification of the primordial power spectrum at the onset of the radiation-domination era. Alternatively, it may be due to nontrivial dark-matter properties (e.g., new dark-matter interactions or warm dark matter) that affect the matter power spectrum at late times, during radiation domination, after the perturbations re-enter the horizon. We show that early- and late-time suppression mechanisms can be distinguished by measurement of the $\mu$ distortion to the frequency spectrum of the cosmic microwave background. This is because the $\mu$ distortion is suppressed, if the power suppression is primordial, relative to the value expected from the dissipation of standard nearly scale-invariant fluctuations. We emphasize that the standard prediction of the $\mu$ distortion remains unchanged in late-time scenarios even if the dark-matter effects occur before or during the era (redshifts $5\times 10^4 \lesssim z \lesssim 2\times 10^6$) at which $\mu$ distortions are generated., Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, PRD Rapid Communication, Featured in Physics, Editors' Suggestion

Abstract: Future high-sensitivity measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and energy spectrum will be limited by our understanding and modeling of foregrounds. Not only does more information need to be gathered and combined, but also novel approaches for the modeling of foregrounds, commensurate with the vast improvements in sensitivity, have to be explored. Here, we study the inevitable effects of spatial averaging on the spectral shapes of typical foreground components, introducing a moment approach, which naturally extends the list of foreground parameters that have to be determined through measurements or constrained by theoretical models. Foregrounds are thought of as a superposition of individual emitting volume elements along the line of sight and across the sky, which then are observed through an instrumental beam. The beam and line of sight averages are inevitable. Instead of assuming a specific model for the distributions of physical parameters, our method identifies natural new spectral shapes for each foreground component that can be used to extract parameter moments (e.g., mean, dispersion, cross-terms, etc.). The method is illustrated for the superposition of power-laws, free-free spectra, gray-body and modified blackbody spectra, but can be applied to more complicated fundamental spectral energy distributions. Here, we focus on intensity signals but the method can be extended to the case of polarized emission. The averaging process automatically produces scale-dependent spectral shapes and the moment method can be used to propagate the required information across scales in power spectrum estimates. The approach is not limited to applications to CMB foregrounds but could also be useful for the modeling of X-ray emission in clusters of galaxies., 19 pages, 8 figures, accepted by MNRAS, minor revisions

Abstract: Cosmic baryon evolution during the Cosmic Dawn and Reionization results in redshifted 21-cm spectral distortions in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). These encode information about the nature and timing of first sources over redshifts 30-6 and appear at meter wavelengths as a tiny CMB distortion along with the Galactic and extragalactic radio sky, which is orders of magnitude brighter. Therefore, detection requires precise methods to model foregrounds. We present a method of foreground fitting using maximally smooth (MS) functions. We demonstrate the usefulness of MS functions over traditionally used polynomials to separate foregrounds from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) signal. We also examine the level of spectral complexity in plausible foregrounds using GMOSS, a physically motivated model of the radio sky, and find that they are indeed smooth and can be modeled by MS functions to levels sufficient to discern the vanilla model of the EoR signal. We show that MS functions are loss resistant and robustly preserve EoR signal strength and turning points in the residuals. Finally, we demonstrate that in using a well-calibrated spectral radiometer and modeling foregrounds with MS functions, the global EoR signal can be detected with a Bayesian approach with 90\% confidence in 10 minutes' integration., Published in ApJ, 31 pages, 17 figures

Abstract: We present an extension to the general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic code HARMRAD to account for emission and absorption by thermal cyclo-synchrotron, double Compton, bremsstrahlung, low-temperature OPAL opacities as well as Thomson and Compton scattering. We approximate the radiation field as a Bose-Einstein distribution and evolve it using the radiation number-energy-momentum conservation equations in order to track photon hardening. We perform various simulations to study how these extensions affect the radiative properties of magnetically-arrested disks accreting at Eddington to super-Eddington rates. We find that double Compton dominates bremsstrahlung in the disk within a radius of $r\sim 15r_g$ (gravitational radii) at a hundred times the Eddington accretion rate, and within smaller radii at lower accretion rates. Double Compton and cyclo-synchrotron regulate radiation and gas temperatures in the corona, while cyclo-synchrotron regulates temperatures in the jet. Interestingly, as the accretion rate drops to Eddington, an optically thin corona develops whose gas temperature of $T\sim 10^9$K is $\sim 100$ times higher than the disk's black body temperature. Our results show the importance of double Compton and synchrotron in super-Eddington disks, magnetized coronae, and jets., 25 pages, 14 figures, 3 tables, submitted to MNRAS

Abstract: Ever refined cosmological measurements have established the $��$CDM concordance model, with the key cosmological parameters being determined to percent-level precision today. This allows us to make explicit predictions for the spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) created by various processes occurring in the early Universe. Here, we summarize all guaranteed CMB distortions and assess their total uncertainty within $��$CDM. We also compare simple methods for approximating them, highlighting some of the subtle aspects when it comes to interpreting future distortion measurements. Under simplified assumptions, we briefly study how well a PIXIE-like experiment may measure the main distortion parameters (i.e., $��$ and $y$). Next generation CMB spectrometers are expected to detect the distortion caused by reionization and structure formation at extremely high significance. They will also be able to constrain the small-scale power spectrum through the associated $��$-distortion, improving limits on running of the spectral index. Distortions from the recombination era, adiabatic cooling of matter relative to the CMB and dark matter annihilation require a higher sensitivity than PIXIE in its current design. The crucial next step is an improved modeling of foregrounds and instrumental aspects, as we briefly discuss here., 13 pages, 5 figures, 3 tables, accepted by MNRAS

Abstract: If local supersymmetry is the correct extension of the standard model of particle physics, then following Inflation the early universe would have been populated by gravitinos produced from scatterings in the hot plasma during reheating. Their abundance is directly related to the magnitude of the reheating temperature. The gravitino lifetime is fixed as a function of its mass, and for gravitinos with lifetimes longer than the age of the universe at redshift $z\simeq 2\times 10^{6}$ (or roughly $6\times 10^6{\rm s}$), decay products can produce spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background. Currently available COBE/FIRAS limits on spectral distortion can, in certain cases, already be competitive with respect to cosmological constraints from primordial nucleosynthesis for some gravitino decay scenarios. We show how the sensitivity limits on $\mu$ and $y$ distortions that can be reached with current technology would improve constraints and possibly rule out a significant portion of the parameter space for gravitino masses and Inflation reheating temperatures., Comment: submitted to Phys.

Abstract: We present the first fast and detailed computation of the cosmological recombination radiation released during the hydrogen (redshift z ~ 1300) and helium (z ~ 2500 and z ~ 6000) recombination epochs, introducing the code CosmoSpec. Our computations include important radiative transfer effects, 500-shell bound-bound and free-bound emission for all three species, the effects of electron scattering and free-free absorption as well as interspecies (HeII --> HeI --> HI) photon feedback. The latter effect modifies the shape and amplitude of the recombination radiation and CosmoSpec improves significantly over previous treatments of it. Utilizing effective multilevel atom and conductance approaches, one calculation takes only ~ 15 seconds on a standard laptop as opposed to days for previous computations. This is an important step towards detailed forecasts and feasibility studies considering the detection of the cosmological recombination lines and what one may hope to learn from the ~ 6.1 photons emitted per hydrogen atom in the three recombination eras. We briefly illustrate some of the parameter dependencies and discuss remaining uncertainties in particular related to collisional processes and the neutral helium atom model., 14 pages, 10 figures, submitted to MNRAS

45. Probing the scale dependence of non-Gaussianity with spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background

Abstract: Many inflation models predict that primordial density perturbations have a nonzero three-point correlation function, or bispectrum in Fourier space. Of the several possibilities for this bispectrum, the most commmon is the local-model bispectrum, which can be described as a spatial modulation of the small-scale (large-wavenumber) power spectrum by long-wavelength density fluctuations. While the local model predicts this spatial modulation to be scale-independent, many variants have some scale-dependence. Here we note that this scale dependence can be probed with measurements of frequency-spectrum distortions in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), in particular highlighting Compton-$y$ distortions. Dissipation of primordial perturbations with wavenumbers $50\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1} \lesssim k \lesssim 10^4\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ give rise to chemical-potential ($\mu$) distortions, while those with wavenumbers $1\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1} \lesssim k \lesssim 50\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ give rise to Compton-$y$ distortions. With local-model non-Gaussianity, the distortions induced by this dissipation can be distinguished from those due to other sources via their cross-correlation with the CMB temperature $T$. We show that the relative strengths of the $\mu T$ and $yT$ correlations thus probe the scale-dependence of non-Gaussianity and estimate the magnitude of possible signals relative to sensitivities of future experiments. We discuss the complementarity of these measurements with other probes of squeezed-limit non-Gaussianity., Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure

46. Spectral distortions of the CMB dipole

Abstract: We consider the distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) dipole anisotropy related to the primordial recombination radiation (PRR) and primordial $y$- and $\mu$-distortions. The signals arise due to our motion relative to the CMB restframe and appear as a frequency-dependent distortion of the CMB temperature dipole. To leading order, the expected relative distortion of the CMB dipole does not depend on the particular observation directions and reaches the level of $10^{-6}$ for the PRR- and $\mu$-distortions and $10^{-5}$ for the $y$-distortion in the frequency range 1 -- 700 GHz. The temperature differences arising from the dipole anisotropy of the relic CMB distortions depend on the observation directions. For mutually opposite directions, collinear to the CMB dipole axis, the temperature differences because of the PRR- and $\mu$-dipole anisotropy attain values $\Delta T\simeq 10\,$nK in the considered range. The temperature difference arising from the $y$-dipole anisotropy may reach values of up to $1\,\mu$K. The key features of the considered effect are as follow: (i) an observation of the effect does not require absolute calibration; (ii) patches of sky with minimal foreground contamination can be chosen. Future measurements of the CMB dipole distortion thus will provide an alternative method for direct detection of the PRR-, $y$-, and $\mu$-distortions. The $y$-distortion dipole may be detectable with PIXIE at a few standard deviations., Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, published in ApJ

Abstract: The measurements of COBE/FIRAS have shown that the CMB spectrum is extremely close to a perfect blackbody. There are, however, a number of processes in the early Universe that should create spectral distortions at a level which is within reach of present day technology. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of recent theoretical and experimental developments, explaining why future measurements of the CMB spectrum will open up an unexplored window to early-universe and particle physics with possible non-standard surprises but also several guaranteed signals awaiting us., 8 pages, 6 figures, to appear as Proceedings of the XLIXth RENCONTRES DE MORIOND

Abstract: Aberration kernels describe how harmonic-space multipole coefficients of cosmic microwave background (CMB) observables transform under Lorentz boosts of the reference frame. For spin-weighted CMB observables, transforming like the CMB temperature (i.e. Doppler weight $d = 1$), we show that the aberration kernels are the matrix elements of a unitary boost operator in harmonic space. Algebraic properties of the rotation and boost generators then give simple, exact recursion relations that allow us to raise or lower the multipole quantum numbers $\ell$ and $m$, and the spin weight $s$. Further recursion relations express kernels of other Doppler weights $d \neq 1$ in terms of the $d = 1$ kernels. From those we show that on the full sky, to all orders in $\beta=v/c$, $E$- and $B$-mode polarization observables do not mix under aberration if and only if $d = 1$. The new relations, fully non-linear in the boost velocity $\beta$, form the basis of a practical recursive algorithm to accurately compute any aberration kernel. In addition, we develop a second, fast algorithm in which aberration kernels are obtained using a set of ordinary differential equations. This system can also be approximately solved at small scales, providing simple asymptotic formulae for the aberration kernels. The results of this work will be useful for further studying the effect of aberration on future CMB temperature and polarization analysis, and might provide a basis for relativistic radiative transfer schemes., Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures, version as appeared in PRD

Abstract: We study the multiple scattering Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signature, extending our previous analysis to high-temperature clusters. We consistently treat the anisotropy of the ambient radiation field caused by the first scattering and also consider lowest order kinematic terms. We show that due to temperature corrections monopole through octupole anisotropy of the singly scattered SZ signal attain different spectra in the second scattering. The difference becomes more pronounced at high temperature, and thus could be used to constrain individual line of sight moments of the electron density and temperature profiles. While very challenging from the observational point of view, this further extends the list of possible SZ observables that will be important for 3D cluster-profile reconstruction, possibly helping to break geometric degeneracies caused by projection effects. We also briefly discuss the scattering of primordial CMB anisotropies by SZ clusters., 11 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, minor changes, accepted by MNRAS

Abstract: Our motion relative to the cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) rest frame deflects light rays giving rise to shifts as large as L -> L(1+beta), where beta=0.00123 is our velocity (in units of the speed of light) on measurements CMB fluctuations. Here we present a novel harmonic-space approach to this CMB aberration that improves upon prior work by allowing us to (i) go to higher orders in beta, thus extending the validity of the analysis to measurements at L > 1/beta ~ 800; and (ii) treat the effects of window functions and pixelization in a more accurate and computationally efficient manner. We calculate precisely the magnitude of the systematic bias in the power spectrum inferred from the partial sky, and show that aberration shifts the multipole moment by Delta L/L ~ beta, with averaged over the survey footprint. Such a shift, if ignored, would bias the measurement of the sound-horizon size theta_* at the 0.01%-level, which is comparable to the measurement uncertainties of Planck. The bias can then propagate into cosmological parameters such as the angular-diameter distance, Hubble parameter and dark-energy equation of state. We study the effect of aberration for current Planck, South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) data and show that the bias cannot be neglected. We suggest that the small tension between Planck, ACT, and SPT may be due partially to aberration. An Appendix shows how the near constancy of the full-sky power spectrum under aberration follows from unitarity of the aberration kernel., Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures. (v2) Including three more masks used for Planck analysis (lensing mask, HFI power spectrum mask, HFI Gal040 mask), and discussion about the effect of aberration on estimation of cosmological parameters such as angular diameter distance to the last-scattering surface, Hubble parameter and dark-energy equation of state
