Challenges to the Lambda CDM Cosmology

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, , , , | Summary: Observations of the cosmic microwave backgroundradiation are described to remarkable accuracy by the six-parameterLambda CDM cosmology. However, the key ingredients of this model, namely dark matter, dark energy and cosmic inflation are not understood at a fundamental level. It is […]

An IXPE-Led X-ray Spectro-Polarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: James F. Steiner, Edward Nathan, Kun Hu, Henric Krawczynski, Michal Dovciak | Summary: We present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results for Cygnus X-1 in its soft state from a campaign of five IXPE observations conducted during 2023 May-June. Companion multiwavelength data during the campaign are likewise […]

Weak-lensing Shear-selected Galaxy Clusters from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program: II. Cosmological Constraints from the Cluster Abundance

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: I-Non Chiu, Kai-Feng Chen, Masamune Oguri, Markus M. Rau, Hironao Miyatake | Summary: We present cosmological constraints using the abundance of weak-lensing shear-selected galaxy clusters in the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program. The clusters are selected on the mass maps constructed using the three-year (Y3) weak-lensing […]

[OIII] emission in z=2 quasars with and without Broad Absorption Lines

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Matthew J. Temple, Amy L. Rankine, Manda Banerji, Joseph F. Hennawi, Paul C. Hewett | Summary: Understanding the links between different phases of outflows from active galactic nuclei is a key goal in extragalactic astrophysics. Here we compare [OIII] $lambdalambda$4960,5008 outflow signatures in quasars with and without […]
