Context. The overdensity inside a cosmological sub-volume and the tidal fields from its surroundings affect the matter distribution of the region. The resulting difference between the local and global power spectra is characterized by the…
We present 40 fully hydrodynamical numerical simulations of the intergalactic gas that gives rise to the Ly-alpha forest. We make artificial spectra from each and measure three output parameters: the mean flux, a measure of the most common…
We use observational data on the large scale structure (LSS) of the Universe measured over a wide range of scales from sub-galactic up to horizon scale and on the cosmic microwave background anisotropies to determine cosmological parameters…
We examine the cosmological redshift-space distortion effect on the power spectrum of the objects at high-redshifts, which is an unavoidable observational contamination in general relativistic cosmology. In particular, we consider the…
A variety of approximate schemes for modelling the low-density Intergalactic Medium (IGM) in the high-redshift Universe is compared to the results of a large high-resolution hydro-dynamical simulation. These schemes use either an analytical…
Lyman-$\alpha$ forest data are known to be a good probe of the small scale matter power. In this paper, we explore the redshift evolution of the observable effective optical depth $\tau_{\rm eff} (z)$ from the Lyman-$\alpha$ data as a…
We present LyMAS2, an improved version of the "Lyman-{\alpha} Mass Association Scheme" aiming at predicting the large-scale 3d clustering statistics of the Lyman-{\alpha} forest (Ly-{\alpha}) from moderate resolution simulations of the dark…
Using cosmological particle hydrodynamical simulations and uniform ultraviolet backgrounds, we compare Lyman-$\alpha$ forest flux spectra predicted by the conventional cold dark matter (CDM) model, the free-particle wave dark matter…
We discuss variants of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) dominated cosmological models that give good agreement with a range of observations. We consider models with hot dark matter, tilt, $\Omega < 1$, or a cosmological constant. We also discuss the…
The Lyman-alpha (Lya) forest is a unique probe of cosmology and the intergalactic medium at high redshift and small scales. The statistical power of the ongoing Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) demands precise theoretical tools…
Dark matter (DM) particles can interact with particles of the standard model. Although there are a number of constraints derived from direct and indirect detection experiments, the evolution of astrophysical objects could offer a promising…
Recently it has been claimed that the warm dark matter (WDM) model cannot at the same time reproduce the observed Lyman-{\alpha} forests in distant quasar spectra and solve the small-scale issues in the cold dark matter (CDM) model. As an…
The universe content is considered as a non-perfect fluid with bulk viscosity and can be described by a general equation of state (endowed some deviation from the conventionally assumed cosmic perfect fluid model). An explicitly bulk…
Modern sky surveys are returning precision measurements of cosmological statistics such as weak lensing shear correlations, the distribution of galaxies, and cluster abundance. To fully exploit these observations, theorists must provide…
The main aim of this paper is to provide cosmological constraints on the Multi Scalar Field Dark Matter model (MSFDM), in which we assume the dark matter is made up of different ultra-light scalar fields. As a first approximation, we…
We use BOSS DR9 quasars to constrain 2 cases of dark matter models: cold-plus-warm (C+WDM) where the warm component is a thermal relic, and sterile neutrinos resonantly produced in the presence of a lepton asymmetry (RPSN). We establish…
This paper presents a systematic and accurate treatment of the evolution of cosmological perturbations in self-interacting dark matter models, for particles which decoupled from the primordial plasma while relativistic. We provide a…

This paper explores the generalized ghost dark energy model in the framework of $f(\textsl{Q}, \textsl{L}_{m})$ gravity, where $\textsl{Q}$ represents the non-metricity scalar and $\textsl{L}_{m}$ denotes the matter-Lagrangian density. We…
Small-scale discrepancies in the standard Lambda cold dark matter paradigm have motivated the exploration of alternative dark matter (DM) models, such as warm dark matter (WDM). We investigate the constraining power of galaxy scaling…
