The present experimental results on neutrino flavour oscillations provide evidence for non-
zero neutrino masses, but give no hint on their absolute mass scale, which is the target of …

Mounting observational data confirm that about 73% of the energy density consists of dark
energy which is responsible for the current accelerated expansion of the Universe. We …

I review and discuss the possible implications for inflation resulting from considering new
physics in light of the Hubble tension. My study is motivated by a simple argument that the …

ABSTRACT We introduce the Illustris Project, a series of large-scale hydrodynamical
simulations of galaxy formation. The highest resolution simulation, Illustris-1, covers a …

The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, dedicated to studying the early Universe
and its subsequent evolution, was launched 14 May 2009 and has been scanning the …

We describe the design of a new polarization sensitive receiver, spt-3g, for the 10-meter
South Pole Telescope (spt). The spt-3g receiver will deliver a factor of~ 20 improvement in …

Planck has produced detailed all-sky observations over nine frequency bands between 30
and 857 GHz. These observations allow robust reconstruction of the primordial cosmic …

ABSTRACT The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10 m diameter, wide-field, offset Gregorian
telescope with a 966 pixel, multicolor, millimeter-wave, bolometer camera. It is located at the …

In a series of five lectures I review inflationary cosmology. I begin with a description of the
initial conditions problems of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology and then …

We study the possibility of measuring the optical depth at reionization τ without relying on
large-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization. Our analysis is driven by the …
