In this review article, we discuss the current status of particle dark matter, including
experimental evidence and theoretical motivations. We discuss a wide array of candidates …

Recent cosmological observations suggest the existence of a positive cosmological constant
Λ with the magnitude Λ (Gℏ/c3)≈ 10− 123. This review discusses several aspects of the …

The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, which was dedicated to studying the early
Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched on 14 May 2009. It scanned the …

We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements
of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, combining information from the …

This paper presents the Planck 2015 likelihoods, statistical descriptions of the 2-point
correlationfunctions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and …

We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements
of the CMB anisotropies. We find good consistency with the standard spatially-flat 6 …

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

ABSTRACT The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 5-year data provide
stringent limits on deviations from the minimal, six-parameter Λ cold dark matter model. We …

ABSTRACT WMAP precision data enable accurate testing of cosmological models. We find
that the emerging standard model of cosmology, a flat Λ-dominated universe seeded by a …

We present the large-scale correlation function measured from a spectroscopic sample of
46,748 luminous red galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The survey region covers …
