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. ...
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 ...
A null test to probe the scale dependence of the growth of structure as a test of general relativity
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
The main science driver for the coming generation of cosmological surveys is understanding dark energy that relies on testing general relativity on the largest scales. Once we move beyond the simplest explanation for dark ...
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, ...
Probing beyond-Horndeski gravity on ultra-large scales
(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 ...
Recursion relations for gravitational lensing
(Springer Nature, 2019)
The weak gravitational lensing formalism can be extended to the strong lensing regime by integrating a nonlinear version of the geodesic deviation equation. The resulting ‘roulette’ expansion generalises the notion of ...
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 ...
