The kinematic dipole in galaxy redshift surveys
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
In the concordance model of the Universe, the matter distribution { as observed in galaxy number
counts or the intensity of line emission (such as the 21cm line of neutral hydrogen) - should have
a kinematic dipole due ...
Null tests of the cosmological constant using supernovae
(American Physical Society, 2014)
The standard concordance model of the Universe is based on the cosmological constant as the
driver of accelerating expansion. This concordance model is being subjected to a growing range
of inter-locking observations. ...
Anti-lensing: the bright side of voids
(American Physical Society, 2013)
More than half of the volume of our Universe is occupied by cosmic voids. The lensing magni ca-
tion e ect from those under-dense regions is generally thought to give a small dimming contribution:
objects on the far side ...
Galaxy correlations and the BAO in a void universe: structure formation as a test of the Copernican Principle
(IOP Science, 2013)
A suggested solution to the dark energy problem is the void model, where accelerated expansion is
replaced by Hubble-scale inhomogeneity. In these models, density perturbations grow on a radially
inhomogeneous background. ...
Testing homegeneity with Galaxy Star formation histories
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
Observationally confirming spatial homogeneity on sufficiently large cosmological scales is of importance to test
one of the underpinning assumptions of cosmology, and is also imperative for correctly interpreting dark ...
Testing foundations of modern cosmology with SKA all-sky surveys
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)
Continuum and HI surveys with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will allow us to probe some of
the most fundamental assumptions of modern cosmology, including the Cosmological Principle.
SKA all-sky surveys will map an ...
