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

Counting voids to probe dark energy
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 …

Testing gravity using cosmic voids
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 perspective of voids on rising cosmology tensions
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 …
