Scaling networks of cosmic defects, such as strings and textures, actively generate scalar, vector, and tensor metric perturbations throughout the history of the Universe. In particular, vector modes sourced by defects are an efficient source of the... Read More about Did BICEP2 See Vector Modes? First B-Mode Constraints on Cosmic Defects.

Evidence for Massive Neutrinos from Cosmic Microwave Background and Lensing Observations (2014)
Journal Article

We discuss whether massive neutrinos (either active or sterile) can reconcile some of the tensions within cosmological data that have been brought into focus by the recently released Planck data. We point out that a discrepancy is present when compar... Read More about Evidence for Massive Neutrinos from Cosmic Microwave Background and Lensing Observations.
