Is the observable Universe consistent with the cosmological principle?
The cosmological principle (CP)—the notion that the Universe is spatially isotropic and
homogeneous on large scales—underlies a century of progress in cosmology. It is …

Alignment of radio galaxy axes using FIRST catalogue
We study the alignment of radio galaxy axes using the FIRST catalogue. We impose several
cuts in order to select the candidates that are most likely to be free of systematic bias. In our …
