Updating constraints on inflationary features in the primordial power spectrum with the Planck data
read the original abstract
We present new constraints on possible features in the primordial inflationary density perturbations power spectrum in light of the recent Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies measurements from the Planck satellite. We found that the Planck data hints for the presence of features in two different ranges of angular scales, corresponding to multipoles 10< l <60 and 150< l < 300, with a decrease in the best fit chi^2 value with respect to the featureless "vanilla" LCDM model of Delta chi^2 around 9 in both cases.

Wedge-avoidance Fisher Forecasts for Primordial Non-Gaussianity from Dark-Ages 21-cm Power Spectrum and Bispectrum
A wedge-aware Fisher framework is introduced to forecast PNG constraints from Dark Ages 21-cm power spectrum and bispectrum, demonstrating significantly weaker bounds due to mode loss in two oscillatory inflation models.

Signals from the early Universe: a comprehensive search for primordial features in Planck CMB datasets
Systematic re-analysis of Planck PR3 and PR4 CMB datasets finds local fit improvements of up to Δχ² ≈ -15 for certain oscillatory templates but no global significance above 2.6σ after look-elsewhere correction and Bay...
