We consider a primordial black hole of very high mass, $10^9-10^{10}M_\odot$, surrounded by dark matter and barionic halo at redshifts $z\sim20$ without any local sources of energy release. Such heavy and concentrated objects in the early…
Using the Fisher matrix formalism, we quantitatively investigate the constraints on a 10 dimensional space of cosmological parameters which may be obtained with future cluster surveys. We explore the dependence of the Omega_m constraint on…
I start by defining the cosmological parameters $H_0, \Omega_m$ and $\Omega_\Lambda$. Then I show how the age of the universe depends on them, followed by the evolution of the scale parameter of the universe for various values of the…
It is shown that a first-order relativistic perturbation theory for the open, flat or closed Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe admits one, and only one, gauge-invariant quantity which describes the perturbation to the energy…
A new kind of evolution for cyclic models in which the Hubble parameter oscillates and keeps positive has been explored in a specific $f(R,T)$ gravity reconstruction. A singularity-free cyclic universe with negative varying cosmological…
We have identified seven (field) elliptical galaxies acting as strong gravitational lenses and have used them to measure cosmological parameters. To find the most likely value for Omega_m (= Omega_matter) and Lambda, we have used the…
Recently, a model of modified gravity plus single scalar field model was proposed, in which the scalar couples both to the standard Riemannian volume form given by the square root of the determinant of the Riemannian metric, as well as to…
The cosmological evolution of neutral hydrogen is an efficient way of tracing structure formation with redshift. It indicates the rate of evolution of gas into stars and hence the gas consumption and rate star formation history of the…
The existence of "dark matter", inferred from the observed rotation curves of galaxies, is a hypothesis which is widely regarded as problematic. This paper proposes an alternative hypothesis based on the space-time geometry near a rotating…
The Friedman equation for the universe with arbitrary curvature $(k = 0, \pm 1)$, filled with mutually noninteracting pressureless dust, radiation, cosmological constant, and strings is considered. We assume the string domination scenario…
A nonrelativistic quantum theory of dark matter particles in a spherical halo is developed by using a new asymmetric equation, which is complementary to the Schr\"odinger equation. The theory predicts that each dark matter halo has its core…
The accelerating behavior of cosmic fluid opposes to the gravitational attraction, at present epoch, whereas standard gravity is dominant at small scales. As a consequence, there exists a \emph{point} where the effects are counterbalanced,…
In this paper, a cosmological model of the Universe is presented in $f(Q,T)$ gravity and the parameters are constrained by cosmological data sets. Initially, a generalised form of $f(Q,T)$ model is used as $f(Q,T)=-\lambda_{1}…
We consider the dynamics of a cosmological substratum of pressureless matter and holographic dark energy with a cutoff length proportional to the Ricci scale. Stability requirements for the matter perturbations are shown to single out a…
We consider a flat cosmological model with a free massless scalar field and the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. The scalar field plays the role of an intrinsic time. We apply the reduced phase…
In previous attempts to measure Omega_0 from the angular size-redshift (theta-z) relation of double-lobed radio sources, the observed data have been consistent with a static Euclidean universe, rather than with Friedmann models, and past…
A sample of 20 powerful extended radio galaxies with redshifts between zero and two were used to determine constraints on global cosmological parameters. Data for six radio sources were obtained from the VLA archive, analyzed, and combined…
We show that the equations of motion governing the evolution of a collisionless gravitating system of particles in an expanding universe can be cast in a form which is almost independent of the cosmological density parameter, $\Omega$, and…
The nonbaryonic dark matter of the Universe is assumed to consist of new stable particles. A specific case is possible, when new stable particles bear ordinary electric charge and bind in heavy "atoms" by ordinary Coulomb interaction. Such…
I discuss the Hubble parameter $H_0$, the age of the universe $t_0$, the density $\Omega_0$, and the cosmological constant $\Lambda$. To focus the discussion, I concentrate on the issue of the value of the density $\Omega_0$ in currently…
