Cosmic Microwave Background:
Rishi Khatri works on distortions of the CMB spectrum from the Planck
shape, as well as the interaction of matter and radiation in the early
Universe. He has written a public Mathematica code that very
quickly calculates the total spectral distortion from a user-defined
rate of energy injection. A fast code like this one is ideally suited
to exploring the full and very rich parameter space of
intermediate-type distortions.
Satej Khedekar is interested in understanding the physical properties of the ICM
that can be constrained through observations in X-ray, SZ and optical;
using observations of galaxy clusters in constraining cosmology;
breaking degeneracies between cosmology and cluster physics.
Margherita Molaro is studying the effects of dark matter annihilation in the early Universe and possible imprints on the cosmic microwave background.
