In a universe with a cosmological constant, the large-scale gravitational potential varies in time and this is, in principle, observable. Using an N-body simulation of a $\Lambda$CDM universe, we show that linear theory is not sufficiently…
Galaxies are often used as tracers of the large scale structure (LSS) to measure the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect (ISW) by cross-correlating the galaxy survey maps with the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) map. We use the Cosmic Infrared…
The imprints of large-scale structures on the Cosmic Microwave Background can be studied via the CMB lensing and Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) signals. In particular, the stacked ISW signal around supervoids has been claimed in several works…
