Unscreening Modified Gravity in the Matter Power Spectrum

Lucas Lombriser, Fergus Simpson, Alexander Mead

Viable modifications of gravity that may produce cosmic acceleration need to be screened in high-density regions such as the Solar System, where general relativity is well tested.…

From Evidence to Evident: Decisive Cosmological Evidence for the Normal Neutrino Mass Hierarchy

Raul Jimenez, Carlos Peña Garay, Fergus Simpson +1

Cosmological data have reached the precision needed to turn the neutrino mass ordering from a weak Bayesian preference into a decisive model-selection test. We compute the evidence…

Neural Diffusion Processes

Vincent Dutordoir, Alan Saul, Zoubin Ghahramani +1

Neural network approaches for meta-learning distributions over functions have desirable properties such as increased flexibility and a reduced complexity of inference. Building on…

CFHTLenS tomographic weak lensing: Quantifying accurate redshift distributions

Jonathan Benjamin, Ludovic Van Waerbeke, Catherine Heymans +18

The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) comprises deep multi-colour (u*g'r'i'z') photometry spanning 154 square degrees, with accurate photometric redshifts an…

Kernel Identification Through Transformers

Fergus Simpson, Ian Davies, Vidhi Lalchand +3

Kernel selection plays a central role in determining the performance of Gaussian Process (GP) models, as the chosen kernel determines both the inductive biases and prior support of…

Observing Baryon Oscillations with Cosmic Shear

Fergus Simpson

A cosmic shear survey, spanning a significant proportion of the sky, should greatly improve constraints on a number of cosmological parameters. It also provides a unique opportunit…
