We introduce a unified approach that, given a strong gravitationally lensed polarised source, self-consistently infers its complex surface brightness distribution and the lens galaxy mass-density profile, magnetic field and electron density…
One of the primary sources for the future space-based gravitational wave detector, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, are the inspirals of small compact objects into massive black holes in the centres of galaxies. The gravitational…
STEP (the Satellite Test of the Equivalence Principle) will advance experimental limits on violations of Einstein's equivalence principle (EP) from their present sensitivity of 2 parts in 10^13 to 1 part in 10^18 through multiple comparison…
We present observations of a region of the Galactic plane taken during the Early Science Program of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). In this context, we observed the SCORPIO field at 912 MHz with an uncompleted…
Although gravitational waves only interact weakly with matter, their propagation is affected by a gravitational potential. If a gravitational wave source is eclipsed by a star, measuring these perturbations provides a way to directly…
We combine the latest datasets obtained with different surveys to study the frequency dependence of polarized emission coming from Extragalactic Radio Sources (ERS). We consider data over a very wide frequency range starting from $1.4$ GHz…
Recently the EDGES experiment has claimed the detection of an absorption feature centered at 78 MHz. When interpreted as a signature of cosmic dawn, this feature appears at the correct wavelength (corresponding to a redshift range of…
Neutron stars and their mergers provide the highest-density regime in which Einstein's equations in full (with a matter source) can be tested against modified theories of gravity. But doing so requires a priori knowledge of the Equation of…
An EPR experiment with polarized entangled photons is performed to test the Eberhard model. According to the Eberhard model, quantum correlations between space-like separated events are due to a superluminal communication signal propagating…
GWs from extra dimensions, very early universe, and some high-energy astrophysical process, might have at most six polarizations: plus- and cross-type (tensor-mode gravitons), x-, y-type (vector-mode), and b-, l-type (scalar-mode). Peak or…
Most attempts to unify general relativity with the standard model of particle physics predict violations of the equivalence principle associated in some way with the composition of the test masses. We test this idea by using observational…
The Thomson scattering optical depth to reionisation, $\tau$, one of the six parameters of the $\Lambda$CDM model, is primarily constrained by the large-scale E-mode polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). In this work, we…
Consistency relations of large-scale structure offer a unique and powerful test of the weak equivalence principle (EP) on cosmological scales. If the EP is violated, different tracers will undergo different accelerations in response to a…
The Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) theory is a modified theory of gravity which include a scalar field to couple with the higher order curvature terms. It has already been constrained with various observations include the…
It has been shown that time delay of strong gravitational lensing is not only an effective cosmological probe to constrain the Hubble constant, the matter density and the curvature of the universe but also useful for breaking the degeneracy…
Scattering events around the center of massive galaxies will occasionally toss a stellar-mass compact object into an orbit around the massive black hole at the center, beginning an extreme mass ratio inspiral. The early stages of such a…
Third-generation gravitational wave detectors such as Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer will have significantly better sensitivities than current detectors, as well as a wider frequency bandwidth. This will increase the number and…
Future space-borne interferometers will be able to detect gravitational waves at $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-1}$ Hz. At this band extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) can be promising gravitational wave sources. In this paper, we investigate…
We study the polarisation properties of extragalactic sources at 95 and 150 GHz in the SPTpol 500 deg$^2$ survey. We estimate the polarised power by stacking maps at known source positions, and correct for noise bias by subtracting the mean…
We completed observations with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope to measure the polarised emission from a complete sample of Compact Steep-Spectrum sources. We observed the sources at four different frequencies. We complemented these…
