The coherent magnetic field of the Milky Way

M Unger, GR Farrar - The Astrophysical Journal, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a suite of models of the coherent magnetic field of the Galaxy based on new
divergence-free parametric functions describing the global structure of the field. The model …

How bad could it be? Modelling the 3D complexity of the polarised dust signal using moment expansion

L Vacher, A Carones, J Aumont, J Chluba… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
The variation of the physical conditions across the three dimensions of our Galaxy is a major

Calibrating Bayesian Tension Statistics using Neural Ratio Estimation

HTJ Bevins, WJ Handley, T Gessey-Jones - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
When fits of the same physical model to two different datasets disagree, we call this tension.
Several apparent tensions in cosmology have occupied researchers in recent years, and a …

Cosmoglobe DR2. I. Global Bayesian analysis of COBE-DIRBE
