Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Constraints on extensions to with weak lensing and galaxy clustering

TMC Abbott, M Aguena, A Alarcon, O Alves, A Amon… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We constrain six possible extensions to the Λ cold dark matter (CDM) model using
measurements from the Dark Energy Survey's first three years of observations, alone and in …

Current data are consistent with flat spatial hypersurfaces in the cosmological model but favor more lensing than the model predicts

J de Cruz Pérez, CG Park, B Ratra - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We study the performance of three pairs of tilted, and a pair of untilted, Λ cold dark matter (Λ
CDM) cosmological models, with three of these four pairs allowing for nonflat spatial …

[HTML][HTML] High redshift ΛCDM cosmology: To bin or not to bin?

EÓ Colgáin, MM Sheikh-Jabbari, R Solomon - Physics of the Dark …, 2023 - Elsevier
We construct observational Hubble H (z) and angular diameter distance DA (z) mock data
collected in redshift bins with baseline Planck Λ CDM input values, before fitting the Λ CDM …

[HTML][HTML] A small Universe

JL Lehners, J Quintin - Physics Letters B, 2024 - Elsevier
Many cosmological models assume or imply that the total size of the universe is very large,
perhaps even infinite. Here we argue instead that the universe might be comparatively …

Constraining spatial curvature with large-scale structure

J Bel, J Larena, R Maartens, C Marinoni… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyse the clustering of matter on large scales in an extension of the concordance
model that allows for spatial curvature. We develop a consistent approach to curvature and …

LiteBIRD science goals and forecasts. A case study of the origin of primordial gravitational waves using large-scale CMB polarization

P Campeti, E Komatsu, C Baccigalupi… - … of Cosmology and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the possibility of using the LiteBIRD satellite B-mode survey to constrain models of
inflation producing specific features in CMB angular power spectra. We explore a particular …

What is flat ΛCDM, and may we choose it?

S Anselmi, MF Carney, JT Giblin, S Kumar… - … of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The Universe is neither homogeneous nor isotropic, but it is close enough that we can
reasonably approximate it as such on suitably large scales. The inflationary-Λ-Cold Dark …

LiteBIRD Science Goals and Forecasts. A Case Study of the Origin of Primordial Gravitational Waves using Large-Scale CMB Polarization

P Campeti, E Komatsu, C Baccigalupi… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study the possibility of using the $ LiteBIRD $ satellite $ B $-mode survey to constrain
models of inflation producing specific features in CMB angular power spectra. We explore a …

Tilted spatially nonflat inflation

B Ratra - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We construct nonlinear inflaton potential-energy densities that describe not necessarily very
slowly rolling closed and open inflation models, and compute tilted primordial spatial …

Analytical approximations for curved primordial power spectra

A Thavanesan, D Werth, W Handley - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We extend the work of Contaldi et al.[J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys. 07 (2003) 002. JCAPBP
1475-7516 10.1088/1475-7516/2003/07/002] and derive analytical approximations for …
