Constraints on spinning dust towards Galactic targets with the Very Small Array: a tentative detection of excess microwave emission towards 3C396 (2007)

Scaife, Anna, Green, David A., Battye, Richard A., Davies, Rod D., Davis, Richard J., Dickinson, Clive, ...

We present results from observations made at 33 GHz with the Very Small Array (VSA) telescope towards potential candidates in the Galactic plane for spinning dust emission. In the cases of the...

Scaife, Anna, Green, David A., Battye, Richard A., Davies, Rod D., Davis, Richard J., Dickinson, Clive, ...

We present results from observations made at 33 GHz with the Very Small Array (VSA) telescope towards potential candidates in the Galactic plane for spinning dust emission. In the cases of the...

Non-Gaussianity in the Very Small Array CMB maps with Smooth-Goodness-of-fit tests (2006)

Rubino-Martin, Jose Alberto, Aliaga, Antonio M., Barreiro, R. B., Battye, Richard A., Carreira, Pedro, Cleary, Kieran, ...

(Abridged) We have used the Rayner & Best (1989) smooth tests of goodness-of-fit to study the Gaussianity of the Very Small Array (VSA) data. Out of the 41 published VSA individual pointings...

Bayesian evidence as a tool for comparing datasets (2004)

Marshall, Phil, Rajguru, Nutan, Slosar, Anze

We introduce a new conservative test for quantifying the consistency of two or more datasets. The test is based on the Bayesian answer to the question, ``How much more probable is it that all my data...

High sensitivity measurements of the CMB power spectrum with the extended Very Small Array (2004)

Dickinson, Clive, Battye, Richard A., Cleary, Kieran, Davies, Rod D., Davis, Richard J., Genova-Santos, Ricardo, ...

We present deep Ka-band ($\nu \approx 33$ GHz) observations of the CMB made with the extended Very Small Array (VSA). This configuration produces a naturally weighted synthesized FWHM beamwidth of...

Cosmological parameter estimation using Very Small Array data out to l=1500 (2004)

Rebolo, Rafael, Battye, Richard A., Carreira, Pedro, Cleary, Kieran, Davies, Rod D., Davis, Richard J., ...

We estimate cosmological parameters using data obtained by the Very Small Array (VSA) in its extended configuration, in conjunction with a variety of other CMB data and external priors. Within the...

Estimating the bispectrum of the Very Small Array data (2004)

Smith, Sarah, Rocha, Graca, Challinor, Anthony, Battye, Richard A., Carreira, Pedro, Cleary, Kieran, ...

We estimate the bispectrum of the Very Small Array data from the compact and extended configuration observations released in December 2002, and compare our results to those obtained from Gaussian...

Searching for non-Gaussianity in the VSA data (2003)

Savage, Richard, Battye, Richard A., Carreira, Pedro, Cleary, Kieran, Davies, Rod D., Davis, Richard J., ...

We have tested Very Small Array (VSA) observations of three regions of sky for the presence of non-Gaussianity, using high-order cumulants, Minkowski functionals, a wavelet-based test and a Bayesian...
