Heuristic Estimation of the Vacuum Energy Density of the Universe: Part I—Analysis Based on Time Domain Electromagnetic Radiation

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

In this paper, an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density of the universe is derived using an indirect and heuristic procedure. The derivation is based on a proposed thought experiment, according to which an electron is accelerated to a constant ...

Examining the relationship between the bulge-to-total stellar mass ratio and dwarf galaxy count in the context of ΛCDM

Oliver Müller

Previous results suggest that there is a correlation between the size of the bulge of a galaxy and the number of its dwarf galaxy satellites. This was found to be inconsistent with the standard model of cosmology based on comparisons to semi-analytical dar ...

The DESI N-body Simulation Project - II. Suppressing sample variance with fast simulations

Cheng Zhao, Yu Yu, Andrei Variu

Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will construct a large and precise three-dimensional map of our Universe. The survey effective volume reaches similar to 20 h(-3) Gpc(3). It is a great challenge to prepare high-resolution simulations with a much ...

Assessing tension metrics with dark energy survey and Planck data

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

Quantifying tensions - inconsistencies amongst measurements of cosmological parameters by different experiments - has emerged as a crucial part of modern cosmological data analysis. Statistically significant tensions between two experiments or cosmological ...

The Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Large-scale structure catalogues for cosmological analysis

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor

We present large-scale structure catalogues from the completed extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). Derived from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) IV Data Release 16 (DR16), these catalogues provide the data samples, corrected for observ ...

Euclid preparation: VII. Forecast validation for Euclid cosmological probes

Yi Wang, Maurizio Martinelli, Georges Meylan, Murat Kunt, Slobodan Ilic

Aims. The Euclid space telescope will measure the shapes and redshifts of galaxies to reconstruct the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structures. The estimation of the expected performance of the experiment, in terms of predicted ...

Non-perturbative probability distribution function for cosmological counts in cells

Sergey Sibiryakov, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a non-perturbative calculation of the 1-point probability distribution function (PDF) for the spherically-averaged matter density field. The PDF is represented as a path integral and is evaluated using the saddle-point method. It factorizes into ...

Precise measurements of time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars for competitive and independent determination of the Hubble constant

Vivien François Bonvin

During these last decades, by virtue of observations, the Standard Cosmological Model has emerged, providing a description of the Universe's evolution using a minimal set of independent constraints - the cosmological parameters. Among them is the expansion ...

A 24 mm diameter fibre positioner for spectroscopic surveys

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Philipp Hörler

One of the big research topics in modern cosmology is the mystery of dark Energy. To unveil the secret, cosmologists want to measure precisely the evolution of large scale structures in the universe. One way of doing so is to measure the 3D location of a h ...

Poincaré, Scale and Conformal Symmetries : Gauge Perspective and Cosmological Ramifications

Georgios Karananas

Symmetries are omnipresent and play a fundamental role in the description of Nature. Thanks to them, we have at our disposal nontrivial selection rules that dictate how a theory should be constructed. This thesis, which is naturally divided into two parts, ...

The Weak Lensing Signal And The Clustering Of Boss Galaxies. I. Measurements

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

A joint analysis of the clustering of galaxies and their weak gravitational lensing signal is well-suited to simultaneously constrain the galaxy-halo connection as well as the cosmological parameters by breaking the degeneracy between galaxy bias and the a ...

Cosmology From Gravitational Lens Time Delays And Planck Data

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

Under the assumption of a flat Lambda CDM cosmology, recent data from the Planck satellite point toward a Hubble constant that is in tension with that measured by gravitational lens time delays and by the local distance ladder. Prosaically, this difference ...

Separate constraints on early and late cosmology

Benjamin Audren

Since the public release of Planck data, several attempts have been made to explain the observed small tensions with other data sets, most of them involving an extension of the Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) model. We try here an alternative approach ...

Image Analysis For Cosmology: Results From The Great10 Star Challenge

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Marc Gentile

We present the results from the first public blind point-spread function (PSF) reconstruction challenge, the GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) Star Challenge. Reconstruction of a spatially varying PSF, sparsely sampled by stars, at non- ...

Sparsity and the Bayesian perspective

Anaïs Marie Rassat

Sparsity has recently been introduced in cosmology for weak-lensing and cosmic microwave background (CMB) data analysis for different applications such as denoising, component separation, or inpainting (i.e., filling the missing data or the mask). Although ...

Weak Gravitational Lensing by Large-Scale Structures : A Tool for Constraining Cosmology

Marc Gentile

There is now very strong evidence that our Universe is undergoing an accelerated expansion period as if it were under the influence of a gravitationally repulsive “dark energy” component. Furthermore, most of the mass of the Universe seems to be in the for ...

Conservative constraints on early cosmology with MONTE PYTHON

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren

Models for the latest stages of the cosmological evolution rely on a less solid theoretical and observational ground than the description of earlier stages like BBN and recombination. As suggested in a previous work by Vonlanthen et al., it is possible to ...
