White dwarfs as a probe of exceptionally light QCD axions
We study the effects of exceptionally light QCD axions on the stellar configuration of white dwarfs. At finite baryon density, the nonderivative coupling of the axion to nucleons displaces the axion from its invacuum minimum, which implies a reduction of t ...
Amer Physical Soc2024SUNBIRD : a simulation-based model for full-shape density-split clustering
Combining galaxy clustering information from regions of different environmental densities can help break cosmological parameter degeneracies and access non-Gaussian information from the density field that is not readily captured by the standard two-point c ...
2024Weak gravitational lensing measurements of Abell 2744 using JWST and shear measurement algorithm pyRRG-JWST
David Richard Harvey, Richard Massey
We update the publicly available weak lensing shear measurement algorithm pyRRG for the JWST, and apply it to UNCOVER DR1 imaging of galaxy cluster Abell 2744. At short wavelengths (
Oxford Univ Press2024Euclid: Validation of the MontePython forecasting tools
Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Jean-Luc Starck, Maurizio Martinelli, Julien Lesgourgues, Slobodan Ilic, Yi Wang, Richard Massey
Context. The Euclid mission of the European Space Agency will perform a survey of weak lensing cosmic shear and galaxy clustering in order to constrain cosmological models and fundamental physics. Aims. We expand and adjust the mock Euclid likelihoods of t ...
Les Ulis Cedex A2024XXXIV. The effect of linear redshift-space distortions in photometric galaxy clustering and its cross-correlation with cosmic shear
Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Maurizio Martinelli, Malte Tewes, Slobodan Ilic, Alessandro Pezzotta, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina
Context. The cosmological surveys that are planned for the current decade will provide us with unparalleled observations of the distribution of galaxies on cosmic scales, by means of which we can probe the underlying large-scale structure (LSS) of the Univ ...
Edp Sciences S A2024Euclid: The search for primordial features
Yiming Li, Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina
Primordial features, in particular oscillatory signals, imprinted in the primordial power spectrum of density perturbations represent a clear window of opportunity for detecting new physics at high-energy scales. Future spectroscopic and photometric measur ...
Edp Sciences S A2024Heuristic Estimation of the Vacuum Energy Density of the Universe: Part II-Analysis Based on Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Radiation
In Part I of this paper, an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density of the universe was derived using an indirect and heuristic procedure. The derivation is based on a proposed thought experiment, according to which an electron is accelerated to ...
2024CURLING - I. The influence of point-like image approximation on the outcomes of cluster strong lens modelling
Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Nan Li
Cluster-scale strong lensing is a powerful tool for exploring the properties of dark matter and constraining cosmological models. However, due to the complex parameter space, pixelized strong lens modelling in galaxy clusters is computationally expensive, ...
Oxford Univ Press2024A too-many-dwarf-galaxy-satellites problem in the M 83 group
Dwarf galaxies in groups of galaxies provide excellent test cases for models of structure formation. This led to a so-called small-scale crisis, including the famous missing-satellites and too-big-to-fail problems. It was suggested that these two problems ...
Edp Sciences S A2024Growth and investigation of Argon thin films adsorbed on graphite by means of Ultrafast Electron Diffraction
Starting from our big universe to the microscopic world, phase transitions play an important role in nature. Just after the Big Bang our universe experienced multiple phase transitions, from high-temperature plasma to the matter we know today.Phase transit ...
