A matched filter approach for blind joint detection of galaxy clusters in X-ray and SZ surveys

Paula Tarrío, Jean-Baptiste Melin, Monique Arnaud

The combination of X-ray and SZ observations can potentially improve the cluster detection efficiency when compared to using only one of these probes, since both probe the same med…

Euclid: Superluminous supernovae in the Deep Survey

C. Inserra, R. C. Nichol, D. Scovacricchi +31

In the last decade, astronomers have found a new type of supernova called `superluminous supernovae' (SLSNe) due to their high peak luminosity and long light-curves. These hydrogen…

Weak lensing magnification of SpARCS galaxy clusters

A. Tudorica, H. Hildebrandt, M. Tewes +11

Measuring and calibrating relations between cluster observables is critical for resource-limited studies. The mass-richness relation of clusters offers an observationally inexpensi…

Dark Energy after GW170817 and GRB170817A

Paolo Creminelli, Filippo Vernizzi

The observation of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart implies that gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, with deviations smaller than a few .…

Internal dark matter structure of the most massive galaxy clusters

Amandine M. C. Le Brun, Monique Arnaud, Gabriel W. Pratt +1

We investigate the evolution of the dark matter density profiles of the most massive galaxy clusters in the Universe. Using a `zoom-in' procedure on a large suite of cosmological s…

The influence of Host Galaxies in Type Ia Supernova Cosmology

Syed A. Uddin, Jeremy Mould, Chris Lidman +2

We use a sample of 1338 spectroscopically confirmed and photometrically classified Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia), sourced from the CSP, CfA, SDSS-II, and SNLS supernova samples, to e…

A comparison of Einstein-Boltzmann solvers for testing General Relativity

E. Bellini, A. Barreira, N. Frusciante +24

We compare Einstein-Boltzmann solvers that include modifications to General Relativity and find that, for a wide range of models and parameters, they agree to a high level of preci…

Cosmological Perturbation Theory Using the FFTLog: Formalism and Connection to QFT Loop Integrals

Marko Simonović, Tobias Baldauf, Matias Zaldarriaga +2

We present a new method for calculating loops in cosmological perturbation theory. This method is based on approximating a CDM-like cosmology as a finite sum of complex power-la…
