Accurate measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies with an angular resolution of a few arcminutes can be used to determine fundamental cosmological parameters such as the densities of baryons, cold and hot dark matter, and certain combinations of the cosmological constant and the curvature of the Universe to percent-level precision. Assuming the true theory is a variant of inflationary cold dark matter cosmologies, we calculate the accuracy with which cosmological parameters can be determined by the next generation of CMB satellites, MAP and Planck. We pay special attention to: (a) the accuracy of the computed derivatives of the CMB power spectrum C_L; (b) the number and choices of parameters; (c) the inclusion of prior knowledge of the values of various parameters.

  1. Neutrino masses from large-scale structures: future sensitivity and theory dependence

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Forecasted 1-sigma sensitivity to the sum of neutrino masses is 15 meV for Planck+DESI and 7 meV for CMB-S4+MegaMapper, with the one-loop bispectrum providing 10% and 30% of the constraining power.

  2. A dark energy parameterization independent constraint of the spatial curvature $\Omega_K$

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new three-parameter fit to the comoving distance gives a dark-energy-model-independent spatial curvature constraint of Ω_K = -0.01 ± 0.09, consistent with flatness.

  3. Increasing the sensitivity of full-shape galaxy clustering measurements in configuration-space with three-point statistics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Forecasts show that line-of-sight dependent 3PCF tightens sigma_8 constraints by a factor of 5 over 2PCF alone for Roman ELG and DESI LRG samples on scales <80 Mpc/h using AbacusSummit simulations.

  4. Cosmology as Representation: Informational Invariance and the Limits of Scientific Realism

    physics.hist-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Cosmology encodes cross-representational informational invariants rather than converging on a privileged ontological description of the universe.

  5. Cosmology with HI

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 unverdicted

    A review chapter collecting the equations, data, and forecasts for using neutral hydrogen, through the 21 cm and Lyman-alpha lines, to measure the Universe.
