The first generation of stars, often called Population III (or Pop III), form from metal-free
primordial gas at redshifts z∼ 30 and below. They dominate the cosmic star-formation …

Abstract LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of B-mode polarization and Inflation
from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission for primordial cosmology …

This paper presents cosmological results based on full-mission Planck observations of
temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) …

We review the possible mechanisms for the generation of cosmological magnetic fields,
discuss their evolution in an expanding Universe filled with the cosmic plasma and provide a …

The universe is magnetized on all scales probed so far. On the largest scales, galaxies and
galaxy clusters host magnetic fields at the micro Gauss level coherent on scales up to ten …

We present the current accounting of systematic effect uncertainties for the Low Frequency
Instrument (LFI) that are relevant to the 2015 release of the Planck cosmological results …

The Λ CDM cosmology passes demanding tests that establish it as a good approximation to
reality. The theory is incomplete, of course, and open issues are being examined in active …

We compute and investigate four types of imprint of a stochastic background of primordial
magnetic fields (PMFs) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies: the …

These lecture notes are based on a tutorial given in 2017 at a plasma physics winter school
in Les Houches. Their aim is to provide a self-contained graduate-student level introduction …

In recent years, the discovery of massive quasars at has provided a striking challenge to our
understanding of the origin and growth of supermassive black holes in the early Universe …
