Group Events
Physical Cosmology seminar: Fridays, 11:00-12:00, [formerly @ University Observatory, Villa (Laplace-Strasse)].
The group seminar for the winter term 2021/2022 will be held remotely. If you are part of the Physical Cosmology (LMU) team, you should have received the zoom details to attend. If something went wrong or you wish to attend our seminar, please drop an email to steffen.hagstotz(at)lmu.de.

Measurements of secondary cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, such as the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect, will enable new tests of neutrino and dark sector properties. The kinetic SZ (kSZ) effect is produced by cosmological flows, probing structure growth. Ultra-light axions (ULAs) are a well-motivated dark-matter candidate with profound impact on cosmic structure formation. I will present results from our recent work (arxiv.org/abs/2109.13268) determining the impact of ULA dark matter (with mass 1e-27 to 1e-23 eV) on kSZ observables, applying new analytic expressions for pairwise cluster velocities and Ostriker-Vishniac signatures in structure-suppressing models. For the future CMB-S4 and ongoing DESI galaxy surveys, kSZ derived pairwise velocities (along with primary anisotropies) will probe ULA fractions as low as ~5% if the axion mass is around 1e-27 eV (at 95% C.L.), with sensitivity extending up to 1e-25 eV. Direct detection of the power spectrum of kSZ induced fluctuations could be an even more powerful probe with sensitivity for masses up to 1e-22 eV under ideal modelling assumptions. |
