Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, Erik Rosenberg, Vivian Poulin, , | Summary: Axion-like early dark energy (EDE) as an extension to $Lambda$CDM has been proposed as a possible solution to the ‘Hubble tension’. We revisit this model using a new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization likelihood constructed from […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Rajesh Mondal, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov, , | Summary: The 21-cm signal from the dark ages is a powerful tool for fundamental cosmology and for probing new physics. While it can be used for precision measurements within standard cosmology, here we study two non-standard models: an excess […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Rajesh Mondal, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov, , | Summary: The dark ages 21-cm signal is a powerful tool for precision cosmology and probing new physics. We study two non-standard models: an excess radio background (ERB) model (possibly generated by dark matter decay) and the millicharged dark matter […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Daniel J. Eisenstein, Benjamin D. Johnson, Brant Robertson, Sandro Tacchella, Kevin Hainline | Summary: We summarize the properties and initial data release of the JADES Origins Field (JOF), which will soon be the deepest imaging field yet observed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This field […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Tibor Dome, Rumail Azhar, Anastasia Fialkov, , | Summary: Upcoming 21 cm intensity mapping experiments like the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) hold significant potential to constrain the properties of dark matter. In this work, we model neutral hydrogen (HI) distributions using high-resolution hydrodynamical $N$-body simulations of both […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Stefan Heimersheim, Leiv Rønneberg, Henry Linton, Filippo Pagani, Anastasia Fialkov | Summary: The cosmological 21 cm signal is one of the most promising avenues to study the Epoch of Reionization. One class of experiments aiming to detect this signal is global signal experiments measuring the sky-averaged 21 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Tamara Evstafyeva, Roxana Rosca-Mead, Ulrich Sperhake, Bernd Brugmann, | Summary: We study phenomenological features and stability of boson stars in massless and massive scalar-tensor theory of gravity with Damour-Esposito-Farese coupling. This coupling between the tensor and scalar sectors of the theory leads to a phenomenon called spontaneous […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Michele Perna, Santiago Arribas, Isabella Lamperti, Chiara Circosta, Elena Bertola | Summary: Merger events can trigger gas accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) sitting at the centre of galaxies, and form close pairs of active galactic nuclei (AGN). The fraction of AGN in pairs gives key information […]
