The peculiar motion of an observer with respect to the CMB rest frame induces an apparent deflection of the observed CMB photons, {\it i.e.} aberration, and a shift in their frequency, {\it i.e.} Doppler effect. Both effects distort the…

We calculate in this article the CMB and matter power spectra of a class of early $f(R)$ cosmologies, which takes the form of $f(R) = R + \lambda_1 H_0^2\text{exp}[R/(\lambda_2 H_0^2)]$. Unlike the late-time $f(R)$ cosmologies such as $f(R)…
