Cosmic Birefringence from the Planck Data Release 4

P Diego-Palazuelos, JR Eskilt, Y Minami, M Tristram… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We search for the signature of parity-violating physics in the cosmic microwave background,
called cosmic birefringence, using the Planck data release 4. We initially find a birefringence …
