MASTER of the CMB Anisotropy Power Spectrum: A Fast Method for Statistical Analysis of Large and Complex CMB Data Sets
read the original abstract
We describe a fast and accurate method for estimation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy angular power spectrum --- Monte Carlo Apodised Spherical Transform EstimatoR. Originally devised for use in the interpretation of the Boomerang experimental data, MASTER is both a computationally efficient method suitable for use with the currently available CMB data sets (already large in size, despite covering small fractions of the sky, and affected by inhomogeneous and correlated noise), and a very promising application for the analysis of very large future CMB satellite mission products.

Analytical covariances for catalogue-based pseudo-$C_\ell$s
A new analytic method computes disconnected covariance matrices for catalogue-based pseudo-Cℓ power spectra by smoothing source positions and treating self-pair shot noise exactly.

Optimal and exact wide-angle power spectrum estimation
For finite-rank signals the optimal wide-angle estimator is the two-ℓ Yamamoto form, whose exact window is a finite FFT-computable sum that improves ultra-large-scale SNR by O(1).

Assessing the large-scale angular clustering of UNIONS Lyman Break Galaxies via cross-correlations
UNIONS LBGs yield robust cross-power spectra with Planck CMB lensing and DESI/Quaia quasars at amplitudes matching theory, despite systematics that render the auto-spectrum unusable.

Constraints on Annihilating Dark Matter from Gamma-Ray Background-Galaxy Shape Correlations: Model-independent Null Results and Moderate Template-based Signals
Fourier-space gamma-ray–cosmic-shear cross-correlations give model-independent null results that exclude thermal WIMP annihilation for 7–40 GeV masses under high substructure boost and wino-like 2–3 TeV scenarios unde...

Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich cross-correlations with unWISE galaxies: disentangling radio contamination, dust properties, and electron pressure
Radio contamination must be jointly fit with tSZ and CIB in unWISE-Planck/ACT cross-spectra; its inclusion yields positive signals to ℓ ≃ 6000 that match a two-parameter generalized NFW pressure profile.

Blind mitigation of foreground-induced biases on primordial $B$ modes for ground-based CMB experiments

The Status of Single Scalar Field Dark Energy
Cosmological data can constrain only a handful of EFT parameters for single-scalar dark energy; extended models show modest preference over Λ but remain underdetermined and challenged by fifth forces and screening.
