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.

  1. Analytical covariances for catalogue-based pseudo-$C_\ell$s

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    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.

  2. Optimal and exact wide-angle power spectrum estimation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    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).

  3. The Squealer: Sensification of model exploration and model misfit

    physics.data-an 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Introduces an auditory feedback tool called The Squealer that produces louder and more unpleasant squeals as model-data discrepancy increases during interactive curve adjustment.

  4. Assessing the large-scale angular clustering of UNIONS Lyman Break Galaxies via cross-correlations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  5. A unified harmonic framework for dark siren cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The GW-galaxy cross-correlation method, unified with spectral sirens in a harmonic framework, can measure H0 to 1% and Omega_m to 5% precision with 2 years of data from next-generation detectors like Einstein Telescop...

  6. Constraints on Annihilating Dark Matter from Gamma-Ray Background-Galaxy Shape Correlations: Model-independent Null Results and Moderate Template-based Signals

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5

    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...

  7. Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich cross-correlations with unWISE galaxies: disentangling radio contamination, dust properties, and electron pressure

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

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

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Two NILC extensions—one deprojecting foreground moments and one marginalizing residuals at the likelihood level—yield unbiased r estimates and consistent lensing B-mode reconstruction in SO-SAT-like simulations.

  9. Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity from Quaia

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Reports f_NL = -20.5^{+19.0}_{-18.1} (68% CL) from combined Quaia quasar auto-correlation and CMB lensing cross-correlation assuming p_phi=1, or -28.7^{+26.1}_{-24.6} for p_phi=1.6.

  10. The Status of Single Scalar Field Dark Energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.5

    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.

  11. BROOM: a python package for model-independent analysis of microwave astronomical data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    BROOM is a Python package that applies ILC and GILC techniques for model-independent separation of CMB, SZ, and foreground signals in microwave data along with diagnostic and simulation utilities.
