breakthroughs in modern cosmology. Several cosmological probes (Cosmic Microwave …

Euclid: Cosmological forecasts from the void size function

S Contarini, G Verza, A Pisani, N Hamaus… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
The Euclid mission–with its spectroscopic galaxy survey covering a sky area over 15 000
deg 2 in the redshift range 0.9< z< 1.8–will provide a sample of tens of thousands of cosmic …

Precision cosmology with voids in the final BOSS data

N Hamaus, A Pisani, JA Choi, G Lavaux… - … of Cosmology and …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We report novel cosmological constraints obtained from cosmic voids in the final BOSS

Constraints on Cosmology and Gravity from the Dynamics of Voids

N Hamaus, A Pisani, PM Sutter, G Lavaux, S Escoffier… - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
The Universe is mostly composed of large and relatively empty domains known as cosmic
voids, whereas its matter content is predominantly distributed along their boundaries. The …

Massive neutrinos leave fingerprints on cosmic voids

CD Kreisch, A Pisani, C Carbone, J Liu… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Do void statistics contain information beyond the tracer 2-point correlation function? Yes! As
we vary the sum of the neutrino masses, we find void statistics contain information absent …

Counting voids to probe dark energy

A Pisani, PM Sutter, N Hamaus, E Alizadeh, R Biswas… - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We show that the number of observed voids in galaxy redshift surveys is a sensitive function
of the equation of state of dark energy. Using the Fisher matrix formalism, we find the error …

Beyond BAO: Improving cosmological constraints from BOSS data with measurement of the void-galaxy cross-correlation

S Nadathur, PM Carter, WJ Percival, HA Winther… - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We present a measurement of the anisotropic void-galaxy cross-correlation function in the
CMASS galaxy sample of the BOSS DR12 data release. We perform a joint fit to the data for …

Universal density profile for cosmic voids

N Hamaus, PM Sutter, BD Wandelt - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We present a simple empirical function for the average density profile of cosmic voids,
identified via the watershed technique in Λ CDM N-body simulations. This function is …

Testing gravity using cosmic voids

YC Cai, N Padilla, B Li - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
We explore voids in dark matter and halo fields from simulations of Λ cold dark matter and
Hu–Sawicki f (R) models. In f (R) gravity, dark matter void abundances are greater than that …

Measurements of cosmic expansion and growth rate of structure from voids in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey between redshift 0.07 and 1.0
