Modern and next generation supernova cosmology analyses rely on end to end simulations to train photometric classifiers, characterise selection effects, validate light curve models, and calibrate distance bias corrections. Standard closure…
The three-dimensional galaxy power spectrum is a powerful probe of primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) and additional general relativistic (GR) effects on large scales, which can be constrained by current and upcoming large-scale structure…
Primordial non-Gaussianities (PNGs) are a broad class of features in the initial density field that are connected to the particle physics of the early Universe. Measuring the amplitude of these features directly constrains fundamental…
By inspecting data from the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey (LoTSS), we noticed a peculiar bright and filamentary radio source at low-galactic latitude ($b \approx 0.5 \deg$). This source, detected also in previous radio observations, was…
We show that angular cross-correlations between distance indicators and galaxy redshift catalogues, when interpreted within an assumed cosmological model, can constrain potential biases in distance measurements induced by calibration…
Neutral hydrogen (HI) traces the dark matter distribution of the Universe. Upcoming surveys such as the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will trace neutral hydrogen up to z < 6 using several detection techniques including Intensity…
XRISM/Resolve is building a sample of galaxy clusters with directly measured ICM gas motions, revealing diverse projected dynamical states. We compile 45 XRISM/Resolve measurements in 19 nearby galaxy clusters and place them on a common,…
Inspired by the Swampland Distance Conjecture, we investigate the cosmological implications of a fractional coupling between dark matter (DM) and early dark energy (EDE) in light of the recent DESI DR2 BAO data. We use a conditional…
Artificial intelligence has reshaped scientific prediction, but scientific verification remains a human bottleneck. Automated systems can map observations to labels, parameters or hypotheses, yet scientific conclusions require evidence,…
We present the first reconstruction of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing potential from the SPT-3G Summer survey using two years of temperature data. The Summer survey has a total area of approximately 2640 deg$^2$, split into…
What is the optimal power spectrum estimator on ultra-large scales where the plane-parallel approximation breaks down? Conventional estimators, such as the Yamamoto estimator, are only optimal in the plane-parallel limit, while their…
The dark matter halo mass function is one of the most fundamental predictions of structure formation theory and cosmological simulations. We present the full halo mass function in the $\Lambda$ cold dark matter ($\Lambda\mathrm{CDM}$)…
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) influences halo structure through collisional heat transport and may solve several small-scale puzzles in structure formation. SIDM creates thermalized cores in low-mass haloes, which may account for the…
The LISA-Taiji dual detector network improves millihertz SGWB sensitivity through cross correlation measurements. Solar wind plasma, however, can generate plasma noise correlated between detectors and bias SGWB cross correlation estimates.…
In this paper, we investigate a possible time variation of the gravitational constant (G) using a non-parametric approach. Our main cosmological probe is the gas mass fraction of galaxy clusters measured from X-ray observations. We also…
We investigate the impact of modified gravity on the stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) generated by a cosmological population of unresolved binary black hole mergers. We consider two complementary classes of beyond-General…
Sign-switching dark energy has recently been proposed as a minimal modification of the late-time expansion history aimed at alleviating tensions within the standard cosmological model. In this work, we investigate ECDM, a smooth realisation…
We present the first results of a spectroscopic campaign carried out as part of the Search for Milli-Lenses (SMILE) program, which aims to constrain the prevalence of gravitational lens systems on milli-arcsecond angular scales…
Oscillatory features in the primordial power spectrum, potential signatures of new physics in the early universe, are usually searched for using fixed templates. In this work, we perform a template-free search for primordial features using…
We present a quantum-kinetic linear theory of the gravitational instability in the context of fuzzy dark matter universe. Starting from the Wigner transport equation, we apply Landau's approach to the linearized Wigner--Poisson system and…
