The imprint of galaxy mergers on satellite planes in a cosmological context

Flattened and kinematically correlated planes of dwarf satellite galaxies have been observed in the Local Volume. The slinging out of satellites during host galaxy mergers has been suggested as a formation mechanism for these peculiar structures. We statis ...

Growth and investigation of Argon thin films adsorbed on graphite by means of Ultrafast Electron Diffraction

Paolo Usai

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 transi ...

Probing the nature of Dark Energy through the study of large scale structures using spectroscopic surveys and their simulations

Andrei Variu

Measurements of large-scale structure (LSS), as performed on the largest 3D map of over two million extragalactic sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, together with measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, are in complete a ...

Fast and Durable Lithium Storage Enabled by Tuning Entropy in Wadsley-Roth Phase Titanium Niobium Oxides

Kangning Zhao, Yuehui Li, Liping Zhong, Rui Xia

Wadsley-Roth phase titanium niobium oxides have received considerable interest as anodes for lithium ion batteries. However, the volume expansion and sluggish ion/electron transport kinetics retard its application in grid scale. Here, fast and durable lith ...

Detectability of Large Correlation Length Inflationary Magnetic Field with Cherenkov Telescopes

Andrii Neronov

Magnetic fields occupying the voids of the large scale structure may be a relic from the Early Universe originating from either Inflation or from cosmological phase transitions. We explore the possibility of identifying the inflationary origin of the void ...

Next generation modeling techniques for strong gravitational lensing and measuring the Hubble constant

Aymeric Alexandre Galan

For many years, observations of the Universe suggest a series problems with our theoretical models, particularly its dark energy and dark matter components. Fortunately, the Universe also provides us with a tool to solve these problems, called strong gravi ...

H I constraints from the cross-correlation of eBOSS galaxies and Green Bank Telescope intensity maps

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

We present the joint analysis of Neutral Hydrogen (H I) Intensity Mapping observations with three galaxy samples: the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Emission Line Galaxy (ELG) samples from the eBOSS survey, and the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey sample. The H I ...

KiDS and Euclid: Cosmological implications of a pseudo angular power spectrum analysis of KiDS-1000 cosmic shear tomography

Georges Meylan, Jean-Luc Starck, Huanyuan Shan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

We present a tomographic weak lensing analysis of the Kilo Degree Survey Data Release 4 (KiDS-1000), using a new pseudo angular power spectrum estimator (pseudo-C-l) under development for the ESA Euclid mission. Over 21 million galaxies with shape informat ...

Few-femtosecond resolved imaging of laser-driven nanoplasma expansion

Matthias Bucher, Christoph Bostedt

The free expansion of a planar plasma surface is a fundamental non-equilibrium process relevant for various fields but as-yet experimentally still difficult to capture. The significance of the associated spatiotemporal plasma motion ranges from astrophysic ...

Angular systematics-free cosmological analysis of galaxy clustering in configuration space

Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor

Galaxy redshift surveys are subject to incompleteness and inhomogeneous sampling due to the various constraints inherent to spectroscopic observations. This can introduce systematic errors on the summary statistics of interest, which need to be mitigated i ...

BOSS Correlation Function analysis from the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure

Cheng Zhao

After calibrating the predictions of the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure against several sets of simulations, as well as implementing a new method to assert the scale cut of the theory without the use of any simulation, we analyze the Full ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmological implications from multitracer BAO analysis with galaxies and voids

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Andrei Variu, Jiaxi Yu, Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez, Cheng Zhao, Huanyuan Shan, Amélie Tamone

We construct cosmic void catalogues with the DIVE void finder upon SDSS BOSS DR12 and eBOSS DR16 galaxy samples with BAO reconstruction, and perform a joint BAO analysis using different types of galaxies and the corresponding voids. The BAO peak is evident ...
