Abstract

The analysis of social networks, in particular those describing face-to-face interactions between individuals, is complex due to the intertwining of the topological and temporal aspects. We revisit them both, using public data recorded by the sociopatterns wearable sensors in some very different sociological environments, putting particular emphasis on the contact duration timelines. As well known, the distribution of the contact duration for all the interactions within a group is broad, with tails that resemble each other, but not precisely, in different contexts. By separating each interacting pair, we find that the fluctuations of the contact duration around the mean-interaction time follow however a very similar pattern. This common robust behavior is observed on 7 different datasets. It suggests that, although the set of persons we interact with and the mean-time spent together, depend strongly on the environment, our tendency to allocate more or less time than usual with a given individual is invariant, i.e. governed by some rules that lie outside the social context. Additional data reveal the same fluctuations in a baboon population. This new metric, which we call the relation *contrast*, can be used to build and test agent-based models, or as an input for describing long duration contacts in epidemiological studies., Comment: published version. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2212.06673

Abstract

We compare face-to-face interaction data recorded by wearable sensors in various sociological environments. The interactions among individuals display a clear environment-dependent diversity in agreement with previous analyses. The contact durations follow heavy-tailed distributions although not exactly of power-law type as previously suggested. Guided by the common patterns observed for each relation, we introduce a variable named the duration contrast, which reveals a common behavior among all datasets. This suggests that our tendency to spend more or less time than usual with a given individual in a face-to-face relation is not governed by social rules but by a common human trait. Additional data shows that it is the same for baboons. Furthermore, we propose a new kind of model to describe the contacts in a given relation based on the recently introduced concept of Levy Geometric Graphs. It reproduces the data at an impressive level. The associated Levy index is found to be alpha = 1.1 on all the datasets, suggesting a universal law for primates and opening many exciting perspectives., Comment: supplementary material

Abstract

Diffuse low grade gliomas are invasive and incurable brain tumours that inevitably transform into higher grade ones. A classical treatment to delay this transition is radiotherapy (RT). Following RT, the tumour gradually shrinks during a period of typically 6 months to 4 years before regrowing. To improve the patient's health-related quality of life and help clinicians build personalised follow-ups, one would benefit from predictions of the time during which the tumour is expected to decrease. The challenge is to provide a reliable estimate of this regrowth time shortly after RT (i.e. with few data), although patients react differently to the treatment. To this end, we analyse the tumour size dynamics from a batch of 20 high-quality longitudinal data, and propose a simple and robust analytical model, with just 4 parameters. From the study of their correlations, we build a statistical constraint that helps determine the regrowth time even for patients for which we have only a few measurements of the tumour size. We validate the procedure on the data and predict the regrowth time at the moment of the first MRI after RT, with precision of, typically, 6 months. Using virtual patients, we study whether some forecast is still possible just three months after RT. We obtain some reliable estimates of the regrowth time in 75\% of the cases, in particular for all "fast-responders". The remaining 25\% represent cases where the actual regrowth time is large and can be safely estimated with another measurement a year later. These results show the feasibility of making personalised predictions of the tumour regrowth time shortly after RT.

Abstract

Diffuse low grade gliomas are slowly growing tumors that always recur after treatment. In this paper, we revisit the modeling of the tumor radius evolution before and after the radiotherapy process and propose a novel model that is simple, yet biologically motivated, and that remedies some shortcomings of previously proposed ones. We confront it with clinical data consisting in time-series of tumor radius for 43 patient records, using a stochastic optimization technique and obtain very good fits in all the cases. Since our model describes the evolution of the tumor from the very first glioma cell, it gives access to the possible age of the tumor. Using the technique of profile-likelihood to extract all the information from the data, we build confidence intervals for the tumor birth age and confirm the fact that low-grade glioma seem to appear in the late teenage years. Moreover, an approximate analytical expression of the temporal evolution of the tumor radius allows us to explain the correlations observed in the data.

Abstract

In preparation for cosmological analyses of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (LSST DESC) has created a 300 deg$^2$ simulated survey as part of an effort called Data Challenge 2 (DC2). The DC2 simulated sky survey, in six optical bands with observations following a reference LSST observing cadence, was processed with the LSST Science Pipelines (19.0.0). In this Note, we describe the public data release of the resulting object catalogs for the coadded images of five years of simulated observations along with associated truth catalogs. We include a brief description of the major features of the available data sets. To enable convenient access to the data products, we have developed a web portal connected to Globus data services. We describe how to access the data and provide example Jupyter Notebooks in Python to aid first interactions with the data. We welcome feedback and questions about the data release via a GitHub repository., Comment: 25 pages, 3 figures; 9 tables. A detailed changelog can be found in Appendix A.

Abstract

We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) by the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (LSST DESC). Significant connections across multiple science domains will be a hallmark of LSST; the DC2 program represents a unique modeling effort that stresses this interconnectivity in a way that has not been attempted before. This effort encompasses a full end-to-end approach: starting from a large N-body simulation, through setting up LSST-like observations including realistic cadences, through image simulations, and finally processing with Rubin's LSST Science Pipelines. This last step ensures that we generate data products resembling those to be delivered by the Rubin Observatory as closely as is currently possible. The simulated DC2 sky survey covers six optical bands in a wide-fast-deep (WFD) area of approximately 300 deg^2 as well as a deep drilling field (DDF) of approximately 1 deg^2. We simulate 5 years of the planned 10-year survey. The DC2 sky survey has multiple purposes. First, the LSST DESC working groups can use the dataset to develop a range of DESC analysis pipelines to prepare for the advent of actual data. Second, it serves as a realistic testbed for the image processing software under development for LSST by the Rubin Observatory. In particular, simulated data provide a controlled way to investigate certain image-level systematic effects. Finally, the DC2 sky survey enables the exploration of new scientific ideas in both static and time-domain cosmology., Comment: 39 pages, 19 figures, version accepted for publication in ApJS

Abstract

Fink is a broker designed to enable science with large time-domain alert streams such as the one from the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). It exhibits traditional astronomy broker features such as automatised ingestion, annotation, selection and redistribution of promising alerts for transient science. It is also designed to go beyond traditional broker features by providing real-time transient classification which is continuously improved by using state-of-the-art Deep Learning and Adaptive Learning techniques. These evolving added values will enable more accurate scientific output from LSST photometric data for diverse science cases while also leading to a higher incidence of new discoveries which shall accompany the evolution of the survey. In this paper we introduce Fink, its science motivation, architecture and current status including first science verification cases using the Zwicky Transient Facility alert stream., Comment: accepted in MNRAS

9. High-precision Monte-Carlo modelling of galaxy distribution

Abstract

We revisit the case of fast Monte-Carlo simulations of galaxy positions for a non-gaussian field. More precisely we address the question of generating a 3D field with a given one-point function (as a log-normal one, but not only) and some power-spectrum fixed by cosmology. We highlight and investigate a problem that occurs when the field is filtered and identify, for the log-normal case, a regime where it can still be used. However we show that the filtering is unnecessary if one takes into account aliasing effects and finely controls the discrete sampling step. In this way we demonstrate a sub-percent precision of all our spectra up to the Nyquist frequency. We extend the method to generate a full light cone evolution comparing two methods for doing it and validate our method with a tomographic analysis. We investigate analytically and numerically the structure of the covariance matrices obtained with such simulations which may be useful for future large and deep surveys.

Abstract

Imaging billions of galaxies every few nights during ten years, LSST should be a major contributor to precision cosmology in the 2020 decade. High precision photometric data will be available in six bands, from near-infrared to near-ultraviolet. The computation of precise, unbiased, photometric redshifts up to z = 2, at least, is one of the main LSST challenges and its performance will have major impact on all extragalactic LSST sciences. We evaluate the efficiency of our photometric redshift reconstruction on mock galaxy catalogs up to z=2.45 and estimate the impact of realistic photometric redshift (hereafter photo-z) reconstruction on the large-scale structures (LSS) power spectrum and the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) scale determination for a LSST-like photometric survey. We study the effectiveness of the BAO scale as a cosmological probe in the LSST survey. We have performed a detailed modelling of the photo-z distribution as a function of galaxy type, redshift and absolute magnitude using our photo-z reconstruction code with a quality selection cut based on a Boosted decision tree (BDT). We have computed the fractional error on the recovered power spectrum which is dominated by the shot-noise at z>1 for scales k>0.1, due to the photo-z damping. The BAO scale can be recovered with a percent or better accuracy level from z = 0.5 to z = 1.5 using realistic photo-z reconstruction. Outliers can represent a significant fraction of galaxies at z>2, causing bias and errors on LSS power spectrum measurement. Although the BAO scale is not the most powerful cosmological probe in LSST, it can be used to check the consistency of the LSS measurement. Moreover we show that the impact of photo-z smearing on the recovered isotropic BAO scale in LSST should stay limited up to z=1.5, so as long as the galaxy number density balances the photo-z smoothing., Comment: 14 pages, 14 figures,accepted by A&A

Abstract

The Core Cosmology Library (CCL) provides routines to compute basic cosmological observables to a high degree of accuracy, which have been verified with an extensive suite of validation tests. Predictions are provided for many cosmological quantities, including distances, angular power spectra, correlation functions, halo bias and the halo mass function through state-of-the-art modeling prescriptions available in the literature. Fiducial specifications for the expected galaxy distributions for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) are also included, together with the capability of computing redshift distributions for a user-defined photometric redshift model. A rigorous validation procedure, based on comparisons between CCL and independent software packages, allows us to establish a well-defined numerical accuracy for each predicted quantity. As a result, predictions for correlation functions of galaxy clustering, galaxy-galaxy lensing and cosmic shear are demonstrated to be within a fraction of the expected statistical uncertainty of the observables for the models and in the range of scales of interest to LSST. CCL is an open source software package written in C, with a python interface and publicly available at https://github.com/LSSTDESC/CCL., Comment: 38 pages, 18 figures, matches ApJS accepted version

Abstract

We investigate the performance of Apache Spark, a cluster computing framework, for analyzing data from future LSST-like galaxy surveys. Apache Spark attempts to address big data problems have hitherto proved successful in the industry, but its use in the astronomical community still remains limited. We show how to manage complex binary data structures handled in astrophysics experiments such as binary tables stored in FITS files, within a distributed environment. To this purpose, we first designed and implemented a Spark connector to handle sets of arbitrarily large FITS files, called spark-fits. The user interface is such that a simple file "drag-and-drop" to a cluster gives full advantage of the framework. We demonstrate the very high scalability of spark-fits using the LSST fast simulation tool, CoLoRe, and present the methodologies for measuring and tuning the performance bottlenecks for the workloads, scaling up to terabytes of FITS data on the Cloud@VirtualData, located at Universit\'e Paris Sud. We also evaluate its performance on Cori, a High-Performance Computing system located at NERSC, and widely used in the scientific community., Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures.

Abstract

Despite the ability of the cosmological concordance model ($\Lambda$CDM) to describe the cosmological observations exceedingly well, power law expansion of the Universe scale radius, $R(t)\propto t^n$, has been proposed as an alternative framework. We examine here these models, analyzing their ability to fit cosmological data using robust model comparison criteria. Type Ia supernovae (SNIa), baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) and acoustic scale information from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have been used. We find that SNIa data either alone or combined with BAO can be well reproduced by both $\Lambda$CDM and power law expansion models with $n\sim 1.5$, while the constant expansion rate model $(n=1)$ is clearly disfavored. Allowing for some redshift evolution in the SNIa luminosity essentially removes any clear preference for a specific model. The CMB data are well known to provide the most stringent constraints on standard cosmological models, in particular, through the position of the first peak of the temperature angular power spectrum, corresponding to the sound horizon at recombination, a scale physically related to the BAO scale. Models with $n\geq 1$ lead to a divergence of the sound horizon and do not naturally provide the relevant scales for the BAO and the CMB. We retain an empirical footing to overcome this issue: we let the data choose the preferred values for these scales, while we recompute the ionization history in power law models, to obtain the distance to the CMB. In doing so, we find that the scale coming from the BAO data is not consistent with the observed position of the first peak of the CMB temperature angular power spectrum for any power law cosmology. Therefore, we conclude that when the three standard probes are combined, the $\Lambda$CDM model is very strongly favored over any of these alternative models, which are then essentially ruled out., Comment: 16 pages, 13 figures

Abstract

The production of a primordial stochastic gravitational-wave background by processes occuring in the early Universe is expected in a broad range of models. Observing this background would open a unique window onto the Universe's evolutionary history. Probes like the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) or the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) can be used to set upper limits on the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density $\Omega_{GW}$ for frequencies above $10^{-15}$ Hz. We perform a profile likelihood analysis of the Planck CMB temperature anisotropies and gravitational lensing data combined with WMAP low-$\ell$ polarization, BAO, South Pole Telescope and Atacama Cosmology Telescope data. We find that $\Omega_{GW}h_{0}^{2} < 3.8 \times 10^{-6}$ at 95\% confidence level for adiabatic initial conditions which improves over the previous limit by a factor 2.3. Assuming that the primordial gravitational waves have been produced by a network of cosmic strings, we have derived exclusion limits in the cosmic string parameter space. If the size of the loops is determined by gravitational back-reaction, string tension values greater than $\sim 4 \times 10^{-9}$ are excluded for a reconnection probability of $10^{-3}$., Comment: version accepted by Classical and Quantum Gravity; typo corrected

Abstract

Recent measurements by Planck, LHC experiments, and Xenon100 have significant impact on supersymmetric models and their parameters. We first illustrate the constraints in the mSUGRA plane and then perform a detailed analysis of the general MSSM with 13 free parameters. Using SFitter, Bayesian and Profile Likelihood approaches are applied and their results compared. The allowed structures in the parameter spaces are largely defined by different mechanisms of dark matter annihilation in combination with the light Higgs mass prediction. In mSUGRA the pseudoscalar Higgs funnel and stau co-annihilation processes are still avoiding experimental pressure. In the MSSM stau co-annihilation, the light Higgs funnel, a mixed bino--higgsino region including the heavy Higgs funnel, and a large higgsino region predict the correct relic density. Volume effects and changes in the model parameters impact the extracted mSUGRA and MSSM parameter regions in the Bayesian analysis.

Abstract

Fleischer and Mannel (FM) have shown that it may become possible to constrain the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle from measurements of various $B\to\pi K$ decays. This constraint is independent of hadronic uncertainties to the few percent level. We show that, within the Standard Model, the FM bound gives strong constraints on the CKM parameters. In particular, it could predict a well defined sign for $\sin2\gamma$ and $\sin2\alpha$. In a class of extensions of the Standard Model, where the New Physics affects only $\Delta B=2$ (and, in particular, not $\Delta B=1$) processes, the FM bound can lead to constraints on CP asymmetries in $B$ decays into final CP eigenstates even if $B-\bar B$ mixing is dominated by unknown New Physics. In our analysis, we use a new method to combine in a statistically meaningful way the various measurements that involve CKM parameters., Comment: 24 pages, revtex, 6 figures included using psfig

Abstract

A study of the two body decays $B^\pm\rightarrow X_{c\bar c}K^\pm$, where X$_{c\bar c}$ refers to one charmonium state, is reported by BaBar collaboration using a data sample of 424 fb$^{-1}$. The absolute determination of branching fractions for these decays are significantly improved compared to previous BaBaR measurements. Evidence is found for the decay $B^+\rightarrow X(3872)K^+$ at the $3\sigma$ level. The absolute branching fraction ${\cal B}(B^+\rightarrow X(3872)K^+) = (2.1\pm0.6({\rm stat})\pm0.3({\rm syst}))\times 10^{-4}$ is measured for the first time. It follows that ${\cal B}(X(3872)\rightarrow J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-)=(4.1\pm1.3)\%$, supporting the hypothesis of a molecular component for this resonance., Comment: 8 pages 6 figures

Abstract

53 pages, corresponding author: J.-L. Puget, submitted to Astronomy and Astrophysics; International audience; This paper describes the identification, modelling, and removal of previously unexplained systematic effects in the polarization data of the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) on large angular scales, including new mapmaking and calibration procedures, new and more complete end-to-end simulations, and a set of robust internal consistency checks on the resulting maps. These maps, at 100, 143, 217, and 353 GHz, are early versions of those that will be released in final form later in 2016. The improvements allow us to determine the cosmic reionization optical depth $\tau$ using, for the first time, the low-multipole $EE$ data from HFI, reducing significantly the central value and uncertainty, and hence the upper limit. Two different likelihood procedures are used to constrain $\tau$ from two estimators of the CMB $E$- and $B$-mode angular power spectra at 100 and 143 GHz, after debiasing the spectra from a small remaining systematic contamination. These all give fully consistent results. A further consistency test is performed using cross-correlations derived from the Low Frequency Instrument maps of the Planck 2015 data release and the new HFI data. For this purpose, end-to-end analyses of systematic effects from the two instruments are used to demonstrate the near independence of their dominant systematic error residuals. The tightest result comes from the HFI-based $\tau$ posterior distribution using the maximum likelihood power spectrum estimator, giving a value $0.055\pm 0.009$. In a companion paper these results are discussed in the context of the best-fit Planck $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model and recent models of reionization.

Abstract

19 pages, 18 figures. Submitted to A&A; International audience; We investigate constraints on cosmic reionization extracted from the Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. We combine the Planck CMB anisotropy data in temperature with the low-multipole polarization data to fit {\Lambda}CDM models with various parameterizations of the reionization history. We obtain a Thomson optical depth {\tau}=0.058 +/- 0.012 for the commonly adopted instantaneous reionization model. This confirms, with only data from CMB anisotropies, the low value suggested by combining Planck 2015 results with other data sets and also reduces the uncertainties. We reconstruct the history of the ionization fraction using either a symmetric or an asymmetric model for the transition between the neutral and ionized phases. To determine better constraints on the duration of the reionization process, we also make use of measurements of the amplitude of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect using additional information from the high resolution Atacama Cosmology Telescope and South Pole Telescope experiments. The average redshift at which reionization occurs is found to lie between z=7.8 and 8.8, depending on the model of reionization adopted. Using kSZ constraints and a redshift-symmetric reionization model, we find an upper limit to the width of the reionization period of {\Delta}z < 2.8. In all cases, we find that the Universe is ionized at less than the 10% level at redshifts above z~10. This suggests that an early onset of reionization is strongly disfavoured by the Planck data. We show that this result also reduces the tension between CMB-based analyses and constraints from other astrophysical sources.

Abstract

Interstellar and circumstellar matter.-- et al., Planck has mapped the intensity and polarization of the sky at microwave frequencies with unprecedented sensitivity. We use these data to characterize the frequency dependence of dust emission. We make use of the Planck 353 GHz I, Q, and U Stokes maps as dust templates, and cross-correlate them with the Planck and WMAP data at 12 frequencies from 23 to 353 GHz, over circular patches with 10° radius. The cross-correlation analysis is performed for both intensity and polarization data in a consistent manner. The results are corrected for the chance correlation between the templates and the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background. We use a mask that focuses our analysis on the diffuse interstellar medium at intermediate Galactic latitudes. We determine the spectral indices of dust emission in intensity and polarization between 100 and 353 GHz, for each sky patch. Both indices are found to be remarkably constant over the sky. The mean values, 1.59 ± 0.02 for polarization and 1.51 ± 0.01 for intensity, for a mean dust temperature of 19.6 K, are close, but significantly different (3.6σ). We determine the mean spectral energy distribution (SED) of the microwave emission, correlated with the 353 GHz dust templates, by averaging the results of the correlation over all sky patches. We find that the mean SED increases for decreasing frequencies at ν< 60 GHz for both intensity and polarization. The rise of the polarization SED towards low frequencies may be accounted for by a synchrotron component correlated with dust, with no need for any polarization of the anomalous microwave emission. We use a spectral model to separate the synchrotron and dust polarization and to characterize the spectral dependence of the dust polarization fraction. The polarization fraction (p) of the dust emission decreases by (21 ± 6)% from 353 to 70 GHz. We discuss this result within the context of existing dust models. The decrease in p could indicate differences in polarization efficiency among components of interstellar dust (e.g., carbon versus silicate grains). Our observational results provide inputs to quantify and optimize the separation between Galactic and cosmological polarization., 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, MICINN and J.A.

Abstract

The development of Planck has been supported by: ESA; CNES and CNRS/INSU-IN2P3-INP (France); ASI, CNR, and INAF (Italy); NASA and DoE (USA); STFC and UKSA (UK); CSIC, MICINN, 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); and PRACE (EU). A description of the Planck Collaboration and a list of its members, including the technical or scientific activities in which they have been involved, can be found at http://www.sciops.esa.int/index.php?project=planck &page=Planck_Collaboration. The authors thank N. Schartel, ESA XMM-Newton project scientist, for granting the Director Discretionary Time used for confirmation of SZ Planck candidates. The authors thank TUBITAK, IKI, KFU and AST for support in using RTT150 (Russian-Turkish 1.5-m telescope, Bakyrlytepe, Turkey); in particular we thank KFU and IKI for providing significant amount of their observing time at RTT150. We also thank BTA 6-m telescope Time Allocation Committee (TAC) for support of optical follow-up project. The authors acknowledge the use of the INT and WHT telescopes operated on the island of La Palma by the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC); the Nordic Optical Telescope, operated on La Palma jointly by Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the IAC; the TNG telescope, operated on La Palma by the Fundacion Galileo Galilei of the INAF at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the IAC; the GTC telescope, operated on La Palma by the IAC at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the IAC; and the IAC80 telescope operated on the island of Tenerife by the IAC at the Spanish Observatorio del Teide of the IAC. Part of this research has been carried out with telescope time awarded by the CCI International Time Programme. The authors thank the TAC of the MPG/ESO-2.2 m telescope for support of optical follow-up with WFI under Max Planck time. Observations were also conducted with ESO NTT at the La Silla Paranal Observatory. This research has made use of SDSS-III data. Funding for SDSS-III http://www.sdss3.org/ has been provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Participating Institutions, the National Science Foundation, and DoE. SDSS-III is managed by the Astrophysical Research Consortium for the Participating Institutions of the SDSS-III Collaboration. This research has made use of the following databases: the NED and IRSA databases, operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under contract with the NASA; SIMBAD, operated at CDS, Strasbourg, France; SZ cluster database operated by Integrated Data and Operation Center (IDOC) operated by IAS under contract with CNES and CNRS. The authors acknowledge the use of software provided by the US National Virtual Observatory., We describe the all-sky Planck catalogue of clusters and cluster candidates derived from Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect detections using the first 15.5 months of Planck satellite observations. The catalogue contains 1227 entries, making it over six times the size of the Planck Early SZ (ESZ) sample and the largest SZ-selected catalogue to date. It contains 861 confirmed clusters, of which 178 have been confirmed as clusters, mostly through follow-up observations, and a further 683 are previously-known clusters. The remaining 366 have the status of cluster candidates, and we divide them into three classes according to the quality of evidence that they are likely to be true clusters. The Planck SZ catalogue is the deepest all-sky cluster catalogue, with redshifts up to about one, and spans the broadest cluster mass range from (0.1 to 1.6) × 1015 M⊙. Confirmation of cluster candidates through comparison with existing surveys or cluster catalogues is extensively described, as is the statistical characterization of the catalogue in terms of completeness and statistical reliability. The outputs of the validation process are provided as additional information. This gives, in particular, an ensemble of 813 cluster redshifts, and for all these Planck clusters we also include a mass estimated from a newly-proposed SZ-mass proxy. A refined measure of the SZ Compton parameter for the clusters with X-ray counter-parts is provided, as is an X-ray flux for all the Planck clusters not previously detected in X-ray surveys., European Space Agency, Centre National D'etudes Spatiales, CNRS/INSU-IN2P3-INP (France), Italian Space Agency (ASI), Italian National Research Council, Istituto Nazionale Astrofisica (INAF), National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA), United States Department of Energy (DOE), UKSA (UK), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC), Spanish Government, JA (Spain), RES (Spain), Finnish Funding Agency for Technology & Innovation (TEKES), AoF (Finland), CSC (Finland), Helmholtz Association, German Aerospace Centre (DLR), Max Planck Society, CSA (Canada), DTU Space (Denmark), SER/SSO (Switzerland), RCN (Norway), Science Foundation Ireland, Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, European Union (EU), BTA 6-m telescope Time Allocation Committee (TAC), CCI International Time Programme, Alfred P.

Abstract

International audience; Using precise full-sky observations from Planck, and applying several methods of component separation, we identify and characterise the emission from the Galactic “haze” at microwave wavelengths. The haze is a distinct component of diffuse Galactic emission, roughly centered on the Galactic centre, and extends to | b | ~ 35−50° in Galactic latitude and | l | ~ 15−20° in longitude. By combining the Planck data with observations from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, we were able to determine the spectrum of this emission to high accuracy, unhindered by the strong systematic biases present in previous analyses. The derived spectrum is consistent with power-law emission with a spectral index of −2.56 ± 0.05, thus excluding free-free emission as the source and instead favouring hard-spectrum synchrotron radiation from an electron population with a spectrum (number density per energy) dN/dE ∝ E-2.1.

Abstract

The gravitational weak lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by the line-of-sight matter provides a unique probe of the gravitational potential at large scales and intermediate redshifts. It induces non-gaussianity within the CMB anisotropy maps, which allows the reconstruction of the lensing potential through four-point function estimates. When this reconstruction is performed on PLANCK-like data, it yields a nice measurement of the lensing potential power spectrum, providing one deals with the various systematics among which the most prominent are the astrophysical foreground residuals -- including point sources -- and inhomogeneous noise. We propose two different methods of lensing extraction targeted to PLANCK-like temperature maps. The first one consists in applying a fullsky minimum-variance quadratic estimator on the CMB map after a foreground cleaning with a component separation algorithm and a data restoration of the most contaminated region of the sky using a sparse inpainting procedure. Extensive tests on PLANCK-like maps, has been proved this method to provide a robust lensing reconstruction showing a small residual bias which can be corrected by a Monte- Carlo afterwards. We developed a complementary approach devoted to apply on maps from an unique frequency channel without having recourse to any component separation, which requires to deal with severe spatial cuts of the maps. We show that the best strategy consists in adopting an hybrid approach: the largest scales are still reconstructed through a full-sky estimator on maps restored by inpainting whereas the small scales are better measured locally using a flat-sky estimator on local overlapping tangent planes extracted from the masked sky. This local method relies on original solutions to solve the issues related to the sphere-to-plane projection. After a brief review of the CMB lensing, I will detail these two proposed approaches, highlighting the adopted solutions to deal with the systematics and present how they perform when applied on realistic PLANCK-like simulations, then I will open a discussion on their respective merits.

Abstract

See paper for full list of authors - 133 pages; a White Paper describing the goals of the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration and its work plan for the next three years; This white paper describes the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC), whose goal is the study of dark energy and related topics in fundamental physics with data from the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). It provides an overview of dark energy science and describes the current and anticipated state of the field. It makes the case for the DESC by laying out a robust analytical framework for dark energy science that has been defined by its members and the comprehensive three-year work plan they have developed for implementing that framework. The analysis working groups cover five key probes of dark energy: weak lensing, large scale structure, galaxy clusters, Type Ia supernovae, and strong lensing. The computing working groups span cosmological simulations, galaxy catalogs, photon simulations and a systematic software and computational framework for LSST dark energy data analysis. The technical working groups make the connection between dark energy science and the LSST system. The working groups have close linkages, especially through the use of the photon simulations to study the impact of instrument design and survey strategy on analysis methodology and cosmological parameter estimation. The white paper describes several high priority tasks identified by each of the 16 working groups. Over the next three years these tasks will help prepare for LSST analysis, make synergistic connections with ongoing cosmological surveys and provide the dark energy community with state of the art analysis tools. Members of the community are invited to join the LSST DESC, according to the membership policies described in the white paper. Applications to sign up for associate membership may be made by submitting the Web form at http://www.slac.stanford.edu/exp/lsst/desc/signup.html with a short statement of the work they wish to pursue that is relevant to the LSST DESC.

Abstract

We present a measurement of the partial branching fractions and mass spectra of the exclusive radiative penguin processes B -> K pi pi gamma in the range m_Kpipi < 1.8 GeV/c^2. We reconstruct four final states: K+ pi- pi+ gamma, K+ pi- pi0 gamma, Ks pi- pi+ gamma, and Ks pi+ pi- gamma, where Ks -> pi+ pi-. Using 232 million e+ e- -> B Bbar events recorded by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy storage ring, we measure the branching fractions BR(B+ -> K+ pi- pi+ gamma) = (2.95 +- 0.13 (stat.) +- 0.20 (syst.)) x 10^-5, BR(B0 -> K+ pi- pi0 gamma) = (4.07 +- 0.22 (stat.) +- 0.31 (syst.)) x 10^-5, BR(B0 -> K0 pi+ pi- gamma) = (1.85 +- 0.21 (stat.) +- 0.12 (syst.)) x 10^-5, and BR(B+ -> K0 pi+ pi0 gamma) = (4.56 +- 0.42 (stat.) +- 0.31 (syst.)) x 10^-5., Comment: 7 pages, 2 postscript figures, published in Physical Review Letters v98, 211804; Report-no: BABAR-PUB-05/31, SLAC-PUB-11288, includes erratum to Table I

Abstract

We present measurements of CP-violating asymmetries and branching fractions for the decays omegapi+, omegaK+, and omegaK0. The data sample corresponds to 232 million BBbar pairs produced by e+e- annihilation at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. For the decay omegaKs, we measure the time-dependent CP-violation parameters S=0.51+0.35-0.39+/-0.02, and C=-0.55+0.28-0.26+/-0.03. We also measure the branching fractions, in units of 10^-6, B(omegapi+)=6.1+/-0.7+/-0.4, B(omegaK+)=6.1+/-0.6+/-0.4, and B(omegaK0)=6.2+/-1.0+/-0.4, and charge asymmetries Ach(omegapi+)=-0.01+/-0.10+/-0.01 and Ach(omegaK+)=0.05+/-0.09+/-0.01., Version published in PRD-RC

Abstract

We present measurements of the branching fractions for the Cabbibo suppressed decays D+ --> pi+ pi0 and D+ --> K+ pi0 based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 124.3 fb-1. The data were taken with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B Factory operating on and near the Y(4S) resonance. We find BR(D+ --> pi+ pi0) = (1.22 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.08 +/- 0.08) * 10^(-3) and BR(D+ --> K+ pi0) = (2.46 +/- 0.46 +/- 0.24 +/- 0.16) * 10^(-4), where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the last error is due to the uncertainties in the absolute branching fraction scale for D+ mesons. This represents the first observation of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D+ --> K+ pi0 decay mode and an improved measurement of the D+ --> K+ pi0 branching fraction., Comment: 8 pages, 5 postscript figures

Abstract

We present results of a search for the X(3872) in B0-->X(3872)KS0,X(3872)-->J/psi pi+ pi-, improved measurements of B-->X(3872)K-, and a study of the J/psi pi+ pi- mass region above the X(3872). We use 232x106 B[overline B] pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- asymmetric-energy storage rings. The results include the 90% confidence interval 1.34x10-6X(3872)K0,X-->J/psi pi+ pi-)X(3872)K-,X-->J/psi pi+ pi-)=(10.1+-2.5+-1.0)x10-6. We observe a (2.7+-1.3+-0.2)MeV/c2 mass difference of the X(3872) produced in the two decay modes. Furthermore, we search for the Y(4260) in B decays and set the 95% C.L. upper limit BR(B-->Y(4260)K-,Y(4260)-->J/psi pi+ pi-), Comment: 7 pages, 2 postscript figues

Abstract

We present branching fraction measurements of twelve B meson decays of the form B --> D^(*)D_s(J)^(*). The results are based on Y(4S) decays in BBbar pairs. One of the B mesons is fully reconstructed and the other decays to two charm mesons, of which one is reconstructed, and the mass and momentum of the other is inferred by kinematics. Combining these results with previous exclusive branching fraction measurements, we determine BR(D_s^- --> phi pi^-) = (4.62 +/- 0.36_stat. +/- 0.51_syst.)%, BR(D_sJ(2460)^- --> D_s^*- pi^0) = (56 +/- 13_stat. +/- 9_syst.)% and BR(D-sJ(2460)^- --> D_s^- gamma) = (16 +/- 4_stat. +/- 3_syst.)%., Comment: Published version

Abstract

We search for the rare leptonic decay B+ --> tau+ nu_tau in a sample of 232x10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. Signal events are selected by examining the properties of the B meson recoiling against the semileptonic decay B- --> D*0 l- nu_lbar. We find no evidence for a signal and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of BR(B+ --> tau+ nu_tau) < 2.8x10^{-4} at the 90% confidence level. We combine this result with a previous, statistically independent BABAR search for B+ --> tau+ nu_tau to give an upper limit of BR(B+ --> tau+ nu_tau) < 2.6x10^{-4} at the 90% confidence level., Comment: 7 pages, 1 postscript figues, submitted to PRD brief report

Abstract

Using 226 million $\Upsilon(4S)\to B\bar{B}$ events collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II $e^+e^-$ storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, we measure the branching fraction for $B^0\to \bar{D}^0 K^+\pi^-$, excluding $B^0\to D^{*-} K^+$ to be $ {\cal B}(B^0\to \bar{D}^0 K^+\pi^-) = (88 \pm 15 \pm 9)\times 10^{-6} . $ We observe $B^0\to \bar{D}^0 K^*(892)^0$ and $B^0\to D_2^*(2460)^- K^+$ contributions. The ratio of branching fractions ${\cal B}(B^0\to D^{*-}K^+)/{\cal B}(B^0\to D^{*-}\pi^+) = (7.76\pm 0.34 \pm 0.29)%$ is measured separately. The branching fraction for the suppressed mode $B^0\to D^0 K^+\pi^-$ is $ {\cal B}(B^0\to D^0 K^+\pi^-) < 19 \times 10^{-6} $ at the 90% confidence level., Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, published on Phys.Rev.Lett. 96, 011803 (2006)

Abstract

18 pages, 16 postscript figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.D; We present a simultaneous measurement of the B0bar lifetime tau_B0 and B0B0bar oscillation frequency Delta_md. We use a sample of about 50000 partially reconstructed B0bar --> D*+ ell- nu-bar decays identified with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring at SLAC. The flavor of the other B meson in the event is determined from the charge of another high-momentum lepton. The results are tau_B0 = (1.504 +/- 0.013 (stat) {+0.018}/{-0.013} (syst)) ps, Delta_md = (0.511 +/- 0.007 (stat) {+0.007}/{-0.006} (syst)) ps-1

Abstract

A search for the non-conservation of lepton flavor in the decay tau -> electron gamma has been performed with 2.07 x 10^8 e+e- -> tau+ tau- events collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring at a center-of-mass energy near 10.58 GeV. We find no evidence for a signal and set an upper limit on the branching ratio of BR(tau -> electron gamma) < 1.1 x 10^-7 at 90% confidence level., Comment: 7 pages, 3 encapsulated postscript figures, submitted to PRL

Abstract

Submitted to PRD Rapid Communication - P. Grenier; We present a search for the rare B-meson decay B0 to a1+- rho-+ with a_1+- to pi+ pi- pi+-. We use (110 +/- 1.2) x 10^6 Upsilon(4S) to BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We obtain an upper limit of 30 x 10-6 (90% C.L.) for the branching fraction product B(B0 to a_1+- rho-+)B(a_1+- to pi+ pi- pi+-), where we assume that the a_1+- decays exclusively to rho0 pi+-.

Abstract

8 pages, 9 postscript figues, submitted to Phys. Rev. D (Rapid Communications) - P. Grenier; A search has been made for the decays B+ -> phi pi+ and B0->to phi pi0 in a data sample of approximately 232 x 10^6 B Bbar pairs recorded at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B-meson Factory at SLAC. No significant signals have been observed, and therefore upper limits have been set on the branching fractions: BR(B+ ->phi pi+)phi pi0)

Abstract

We have searched for the decays $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{+}a_0^-$, $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+}a_0^-$, $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{+}a_2^-$ and $B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+}a_2^-$ in a sample of about 230 million $\Upsilon(4S) \rightarrow B{\bar B}$ decays collected with the {\sl BaBar} detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$-factory at SLAC. We find no evidence for these decays and set upper limits at 90\% C.L. on the branching fractions: ${\cal B}(B^0 \rightarrow D_s^+ a_0^-) < 1.9\times 10^{-5}$, ${\cal B}(B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+} a_0^-) < 3.6\times 10^{-5}$, ${\cal B}(B^0 \rightarrow D_s^+ a_2^-) < 1.9 \times 10^{-4}$, and ${\cal B}(B^0 \rightarrow D_s^{*+} a_2^-) < 2.0\times 10^{-4} $., Comment: 8 pages, 8 postscript figues, submitted to PRD-RC

Abstract

Submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett. (8 pages, two tables, 3 postscript figures); We present the results of a search for the decay B0 --> tau+tau- in a data sample of (232 +- 3) x 10^6 Upsilon(4S) --> BBbar decays using the BABAR detector. Certain extensions of the Standard Model predict measurable levels of this otherwise rare decay. We reconstruct fully one neutral B meson and seek evidence for the signal decay in the rest of the event. We find no evidence for signal events and obtain B(B0 --> tau+tau-) < 3.2 x 10^-3 at the 90% confidence level.

Abstract

We analyze the decay B0 -> K0s pi+ pi- using a sample of 232 million Upsilon(4S) -> BB decays collected with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory. A maximum likelihood fit finds the following branching fractions: BF(B0 -> K0 pi+ pi-) = (43.0 +/- 2.3 +/- 2.3) x 10^{-6}, BF(B0 -> f0 (-> pi+ pi-) K0) = (5.5 +/- 0.7 +/- 0.5 +/- 0.3) x 10^{-6} and BF(B0 -> K*+ pi-) = (11.0 +/- 1.5 +/- 0.5 +/- 0.5) x 10^{-6}. For these results, the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third (if present) is due to the effect of interference from other resonances. We also measure the CP-violating charge asymmetry in the decay B0 -> K*+ pi-, A(B0 -> K*+ pi-) = -0.11 +/- 0.14 +/- 0.05., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables Submitted to Physical Review D Rapid Communications

Abstract

We search for the production of doubly charmed baryons in e^+e^- annihilations at or near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV, in a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 232 fb^-1 recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. We search for Xi_cc^+ baryons in the final states Lambda_c^+K^-pi^+ and Xi_c^0pi^+, and Xi_cc^++ baryons in the final states Lambda_c^+K^-pi^+pi^+ and Xi_c^0pi^+pi^+. We find no evidence for the production of doubly charmed baryons., Comment: 9 pages, 2 postscript figues, submitted to Phys. Rev. D (Rapid Communications)
