The efficiency of radio emission is an important unknown parameter of early galaxies at cosmic dawn, as models with high efficiency have been shown to modify the cosmological 21-cm signal substantially, deepening the absorption trough and…
In order to investigate the origin of the ongoing tension between the amplitude of matter fluctuations measured by weak lensing experiments at low redshifts and the value inferred from the cosmic microwave background anisotropies, we…
This document describes the Millimeter Anisotropy eXperiment IMaging Array (MAXIMA), a balloon-borne experiment measuring the temperature anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) on angular scales of 10 arcminutes to 5 degrees.…
Extragalactic radio sources are a unique cosmological probe in that they trace large-scale structure on scales inaccessible to other wavelengths. However as radio survey data is inherently 2D, the redshift distribution, N(z), is necessary…
Measurements of the cosmic redshift drift - the change in redshift of a source over time - will enable independent detection of cosmological expansion thanks to the immense precision soon reached by new facilities such as the Square…
We examine the possibility of constraining the cosmological mean mass and dark energy densities by an application of the Alcock-Paczynski test on redshifted 21-cm maps of the epoch of reionization. The 21-cm data will be provided as a…
The recent measurements of the power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies are consistent with the simplest inflationary scenario and big bang nucleosynthesis constraints. However, these results rely on the assumption of a…
In the last decade, a number of experiments dealt with the problem of measuring the arrival direction distribution of cosmic rays, looking for information on the propagation mechanisms and the identification of their sources. Any deviation…
We present final results on the angular power spectrum of total intensity anisotropies in the CMB from the CBI. Our analysis includes all primordial anisotropy data collected between January 2000 and April 2005, and benefits significantly…
In this paper, we use multi-frequency angular size measurements of 58 intermediate-luminosity quasars reaching the redshifts $z\sim 3$ and demonstrate that they can be used as standard rulers for cosmological inference. Our results indicate…
In our previous analysis we investigated the large-scale environment of two samples of radio galaxies (RGs) in the local Universe (i.e. with redshifts z<0.15), classified as FR I and FR II on the basis of their radio morphology. The…
Fourteen classical double radio galaxies with redshifts between zero and two were used to determine the cosmological parameters $\Omega_m$, $\Omega_{\Lambda}$, and $\Omega_k$, where these are the normalized values of the mean mass density,…
New measurements of galaxy clustering and background radiations provide improved constraints on the isotropy and homogeneity of the Universe on large scales. In particular, the angular distribution of radio sources and the X-Ray Background…
We explore the utility of future photometric redshift imaging surveys for delineating the large-scale structure of the Universe, and assess the resulting constraints on the cosmological model. We perform two complementary types of analysis:…
Under the assumption that the gas mass fraction of galaxy clusters estimated out to an outer hydrostatic radius is constant, it is possible to constrain the cosmological parameters by using the angular diameter distance relation with…
We correlate the positions of radio galaxies in the FIRST survey with the CMB lensing convergence estimated from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope over 470 square degrees to determine the bias of these galaxies. We remove optically…
We develop the formalism required to interpret, within a CDM framework, the angular clustering of sources in a deep radio survey. The effect of nonlinear evolution of density perturbations is discussed as is the effect of the assumed…

We present a sample of 43 submillimeter sources detected (at >3 sigma), drawn from our program to follow-up optically faint radio sources with SCUBA. These sources already have associated radio and in many cases optical identifications, and…
