We explore the information content of 21cm intensity maps in redshift space using the 1-loop Effective Field Theory power spectrum model and the bispectrum at tree level. The 21cm signal contains signatures of dark matter, dark energy and…
The Vainshtein mechanism, present in many models of gravity, is very effective at screening dark matter halos such that the fifth force is negligible and general relativity is recovered within their Vainshtein radii. Vainshtein screening is…

We present the study of ten random realizations of a density field characterized by a cosmological power spectrum P(k) at redshift z=50. The reliability of such initial conditions for n-body simulations are tested with respect to their…

The 21-cm absorption feature reported by the EDGES collaboration is several times stronger than that predicted by traditional astrophysical models. If genuine, a deeper absorption may lead to stronger fluctuations on the 21-cm signal on…

We have derived estimators for the linear growth rate of density fluctuations using the cross-correlation function of voids and haloes in redshift space, both directly and in Fourier form. In linear theory, this cross-correlation contains…
The sky-averaged redshifted 21 cm signal from Cosmic Dawn is a uniquely sensitive tracer of early heating and ionisation, but it remains challenging to measure directly. The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect of the 21 cm background (SZE-21cm)…
