Testing Lambda CDM cosmology at turnaround: where to look for violations of the bound?

Dimitrios Tanoglidis, Vasiliki Pavlidou, Theodore Tomaras

In CDM cosmology, structure formation is halted shortly after dark energy dominates the mass/energy budget of the Universe. A manifestation of this effect is that in such a cosm…
