We review applications of string theory to cosmology, from primordial times to the present-
day accelerated expansion. Starting with a brief overview of cosmology and string …

After a decade and a half of research motivated by the accelerating universe, theory and
experiment have reached a certain level of maturity. The development of theoretical models …

We present the implications for cosmic inflation of the Planck measurements of the cosmic
microwave background (CMB) anisotropies in both temperature and polarization based on …

The past two decades have seen transformative advances in cosmology and string theory.
Observations of the cosmic microwave background have revealed strong evidence for …

The current flow of high accuracy astrophysical data, among which are the Cosmic
Microwave Background (CMB) measurements by the Planck satellite, offers an …

Abstract Euclid is a European Space Agency medium-class mission selected for launch in
2020 within the cosmic vision 2015–2025 program. The main goal of Euclid is to understand …

We analyse the implications of the Planck data for cosmic inflation. The Planck nominal
mission temperature anisotropy measurements, combined with the WMAP large-angle …

We present the current accounting of systematic effect uncertainties for the Low Frequency
Instrument (LFI) that are relevant to the 2015 release of the Planck cosmological results …

This paper presents cosmological results based on full-mission Planck observations of
temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) …

ABSTRACT The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 5-year data provide
stringent limits on deviations from the minimal, six-parameter Λ cold dark matter model. We …
