Probing beyond-Horndeski gravity on ultra-large scales
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)The beyond-Horndeski gravity has recently been reformulated in the dark energy paradigm — which has been dubbed, Unified Dark Energy (UDE). The evolution equations for the given UDE appear to correspond to a non-conservative ... -
Multi-scale perturbation theory. Part I. Methodology and leading-order bispectrum corrections in the matter-dominated era
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)Two-parameter perturbation theory is a scheme tailor-made to consistently include nonlinear density contrasts on small scales (< 100 Mpc), whilst retaining a traditional approach to cosmological perturbations in the ... -
Detecting the relativistic galaxy bispectrum
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)The Fourier galaxy bispectrum is complex, with the imaginary part arising from leading-order relativistic corrections, due to Doppler, gravitational redshift and related lineof-sight effects in redshift space. The detection ... -
Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): Demonstrating the power of WISE in the study of Galaxy Groups to z < 0.1
(IOP Publishing, 2020)Combining high-fidelity group characterisation from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey and source-tailored z < 0.1 photometry from the WISE survey, we present a comprehensive study of the properties of ungrouped ... -
The VLA-COSMOS 3 GHz Large Project: Evolution of specific star formation rates out to z∼5
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We provide a coherent, uniform measurement of the evolution of the logarithmic star formation rate (SFR) – stellar mass (M∗) relation, called the main sequence of star-forming galaxies (MS), for starforming and all galaxies ... -
How well can we measure the stellar mass of a galaxy: The impact of the assumed star formation history model in SED fitting
(IOP Publishing, 2020)The primary method for inferring the stellar mass (M∗) of a galaxy is through spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling. However, the technique rests on assumptions such as the galaxy star formation history and dust ... -
A flexible method for estimating luminosity functions via Kernel Density Estimation
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We propose a flexible method for estimating luminosity functions (LFs) based on kernel density estimation (KDE), the most popular nonparametric density estimation approach developed in modern statistics, to overcome ... -
Cosmological 3D Hi Gas Map with HETDEX Lyα Emitters and eBOSS QSOs at z = 2: IGM-Galaxy/QSO Connection and a ∼ 40-Mpc Scale Giant Hii Bubble Candidate
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We present cosmological (30−400 Mpc) distributions of neutral hydrogen (H i) in the intergalactic medium (IGM) traced by Lyα emitters (LAEs) and QSOs at z = 2.1–2.5, selected with the data of the ongoing Hobby–Eberly ... -
Planck 2018 results. XI. Polarized dust foregrounds
(EDP Sciences, 2020)The study of polarized dust emission has become entwined with the analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization in the quest for the curl-like B-mode polarization from primordial gravitational waves and ... -
Improvements in cosmological constraints from breaking growth degeneracy
(EDP Sciences, 2020)The key probes of the growth of a large-scale structure are its rate f and amplitude σ8. Redshift space distortions in the galaxy power spectrum allow us to measure only the combination fσ8, which can be used to constrain ... -
Non-linear damping of superimposed primordial oscillations on the matter power spectrum in galaxy surveys
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)Galaxy surveys are an important probe for superimposed oscillations on the primordial power spectrum of curvature perturbations, which are predicted in several theoretical models of inflation and its alternatives. In order ... -
Multipoles of the relativistic galaxy bispectrum
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)Above the equality scale the galaxy bispectrum will be a key probe for measuring primordial non-Gaussianity which can help differentiate between different inflationary models and other theories of the early universe. On ... -
The Hubble constant tension with next-generation galaxy surveys
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)The rate at which the universe is expanding today is a fundamental parameter in cosmology which governs our understanding of structure formation and dark energy. However, current measurements of the Hubble constant, H0, ... -
Hybrid P` (k): General, unified, non-linear matter power spectrum in redshift space
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)Constraints on gravity and cosmology will greatly benefit from performing joint clustering and weak lensing analyses on large-scale structure data sets. Utilising non-linear information coming from small physical scales ... -
Constraining the growth rate by combining multiple future surveys
(IOP Publishing, 2020)The growth rate of large-scale structure provides a powerful consistency test of the standard cosmological model and a probe of possible deviations from general relativity. We use a Fisher analysis to forecast constraints ... -
The XXL survey XLII. Detection and characterization of the galaxy population of distant galaxy clusters in the XXL-N/VIDEO field: A tale of variety
(ESO, 2020)Context. Distant galaxy clusters provide an effective laboratory in which to study galaxy evolution in dense environments and at early cosmic times. Aims. We aim to identify distant galaxy clusters as extended X-ray sources ... -
Planck intermediate results. LVII. Joint Planck LFI and HFI data processing
(ESO, 2020)We present the NPIPE processing pipeline, which produces calibrated frequency maps in temperature and polarization from data from the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) and High Frequency Instrument (HFI) using ... -
One- and Two-point source statistics from the LOFAR Two-metre sky survey first data release
(ESO, 2020)Context. The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) will eventually map the complete Northern sky and provide an excellent opportunity to study the distribution and evolution of the large-scale structure of the Universe. Aims. ... -
Using sparse gaussian processes for predicting robust inertial confinement fusion implosion yields
(arXiv, 2019)Here we present the application of an advanced Sparse Gaussian Process based machine learning algorithm to the challenge of predicting the yields of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. The algorithm is used ... -
Scalar-tensor theories of gravity, neutrino physics, and the H0 tension
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We use Planck 2018 data to constrain the simplest models of scalar-tensor theories characterized by a coupling to the Ricci scalar of the type F(σ)R with F(σ) = N2 pl + ξσ2 . We update our results with previous Planck ...
