Unveiling the Universe with emerging cosmological probes

M Moresco, L Amati, L Amendola, S Birrer… - Living Reviews in …, 2022 - Springer
The detection of the accelerated expansion of the Universe has been one of the major
breakthroughs in modern cosmology. Several cosmological probes (Cosmic Microwave …

Detecting neutrino mass by combining matter clustering, halos, and voids

AE Bayer, F Villaescusa-Navarro… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We quantify the information content of the nonlinear matter power spectrum, the halo mass
function, and the void size function, using the Quijote N-body simulations. We find that these …

Dark photon oscillations in our inhomogeneous universe

A Caputo, H Liu, S Mishra-Sharma, JT Ruderman - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
A dark photon kinetically mixing with the ordinary photon represents one of the simplest
viable extensions to the standard model, and would induce oscillations with observable …

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
DR12 dataset. They arise from the joint analysis of geometric and dynamic distortions of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The Santiago–Harvard–Edinburgh–Durham void comparison–I. SHEDding light on chameleon gravity tests

M Cautun, E Paillas, YC Cai, S Bose… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present a systematic comparison of several existing and new void-finding algorithms,
focusing on their potential power to test a particular class of modified gravity models …

Cosmological constraints from the BOSS DR12 void size function

S Contarini, A Pisani, N Hamaus, F Marulli… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first cosmological constraints derived from the analysis of the void size
function. This work relies on the final Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Data …

The perspective of voids on rising cosmology tensions

S Contarini, A Pisani, N Hamaus, F Marulli… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
We investigate the main tensions within the current standard model of cosmology from the
perspective of the main statistics of cosmic voids, using the final BOSS DR12 data set. For …
