Using data from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS), it has been possible to search beyond this optical limit. I will describe the latest results for this survey, focussing on the search methodology and the implications for cosmological reionization out to a redshift of ~7. -

UCLOrganizer Nella and Leon Benoziyo Center for AstrophysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The eternal inflation scenario predicts that our observable ...» The eternal inflation scenario predicts that our observable universe resides inside a single bubble embedded in a vast inflating multiverse. Collisions between bubble universes imprinted in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) sky provide a powerful observational test of this idea. I will describe a robust algorithm for non-Gaussian source detection in massive datasets, and present its application to the search for bubble collision signatures in CMB data from WMAP. -
