We investigate spherical collapse in Eddington-inspired Born--Infeld (EiBI) gravity in the subhorizon, pressureless, and quasi-static regime, emphasizing the matter-gradient correction that appears in the weak-field limit of the theory.…
In this paper, we investigate a quintessence field with an exponential potential motivated by the suggestion of time-varying dark energy from the DESI galaxy survey. Assuming a kination epoch in the early Universe, we analytically derive…
We investigate the Dark Scattering (DS) interacting dark energy scenario, characterised by pure momentum exchange between dark matter and dark energy, combined with a time-dependent equation-of-state for dark energy described by the…
Topological analysis of galaxy distributions has gathered increasing attention in cosmology, as they are able to capture non-Gaussian features of large-scale structures (LSS) that are overlooked by conventional two-point clustering…
We characterize the post-inflationary evolution of the equation of state of the universe from the end of inflation until the onset of radiation domination, when the inflaton is coupled to a daughter field through a trilinear interaction. We…
We perform a late-time cosmological study; we compare the performance of two Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI)-type k-essence scalar field extensions of the $\Lambda$CDM model to the standard framework and a wCDM scenario using the…
Cosmic bulk flow--the volume-averaged peculiar velocity of matter--serves as a fundamental test of the Cosmological Principle when probed on gigaparsec (Gpc) scales. Historically, however, measurements of cosmic bulk flow have been limited…
We present a non-parametric, model-independent reconstruction of the cosmological background and perturbation dynamics in non-minimally coupled theories of gravity. Within the Effective Field Theory of dark energy framework, we reconstruct…
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will deliver an unprecedented Type Ia supernova (SN) sample, making photometric calibration systematics a dominant source of uncertainty in dark energy constraints. We…
The epoch of reionisation is a key phase in cosmic history, but its detailed evolution remains poorly constrained by current cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations. We investigate whether the kinetic Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect…
We study how constraints on the abundance of ultralight axions (ULAs) from cosmic microwave background (CMB) data depend on their nonlinear modelling. We focus on the axion mass range $10^{-25} \leq m/\rm{eV} \leq 10^{-23}$, where the axion…
Tensions often arise between different datasets in cosmology, and consistency tests can serve as a powerful tool for diagnosing potential issues. The density-shear Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (GI BAO) are the imprint of the BAO feature on…
Galaxy rotation curves provide a direct test of how baryonic matter and dark matter combine to determine the mass profiles of disk galaxies. In ultralight or fuzzy dark matter models, numerical simulations predict a central solitonic core…
Gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binary coalescences (CBCs) enable independent measurements of the Hubble constant \(H_0\) via the spectral siren method, which critically depends on an accurate model of the source-frame mass…
We present new empirically grounded forecasts for the detectability of the stochastic gravitational-wave background anisotropies assuming a population of stellar-mass compact binary coalescences as its source. We quantified the discovery…
Lensed supernovae (SNae) are among the most eagerly anticipated transients expected from the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Quadruply lensed SNae permit more highly constrained models than "mere" doubles. The quadruply lensed SN…
Today, the observable cosmos exhibits a remarkable degree of isotropy and plausibly began in a nearly isotropic initial state. The properties of the Lorentzian Chern-Simons-Kodama (CSK) functional can provide an understanding of this…
We constrain uncorrelated primordial isocurvature perturbations using a combination of large- and small-scale cosmological probes, with the small-scale data provided by the ultraviolet luminosity function (UVLF) -- a measure of number…
We present a framework for inferring the dark matter halo masses of quasars and [O III]-emitting galaxies from JWST/NIRCam Wide Field Slitless Spectroscopy (WFSS) clustering measurements at z approximately 6. Using the FLAMINGO-10k N-body…
In the last year, several pieces of evidence have pointed to a possible deviation from the standard cosmological model, $\Lambda$CDM. The recent work by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) collaboration reports a preference in the ballpark of…
