We revisit the joint constraints in the mixed hot dark matter scenario in which both thermally produced QCD axions and relic neutrinos are present. Upon recomputing the cosmological …
We present an updated data-analysis comparison of the most recent observations of the cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies and polarization angular power …
We study the global agreement between the most recent observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies angular power …

The presence of light sterile neutrinos is one of the unanswered questions of particle physics. The cosmological counterpart is represented by dark radiation, ie, any form of …

Inflationary gravitational waves, behaving as additional radiation in the Early Universe, can increase the effective number of relativistic species (N eff) by a further correction that …
We consider axions coupled to nucleons and photons only through the nucleon electric- dipole moment (EDM) portal. This coupling is a model-independent feature of QCD axions …

The Etherington reciprocity theorem, or distance duality relation (DDR), relates the mutual scaling of cosmic distances in any metric theory of gravity where photons are massless and …
Flavor violating axion couplings can be in action before recombination, and they can fill the early Universe with an additional radiation component. Working within a model-independent …
We present model-marginalized limits on mixed hot dark matter scenarios, which consider both thermal neutrinos and thermal QCD axions. A novel aspect of our analyses is the …
