The Imprint of The Extragalactic Background Light in the Gamma-Ray Spectra of Blazars

LAT Collaboration

The light emitted by stars and accreting compact objects through the history of the Universe is encoded in the intensity of the extragalactic background light (EBL). Knowledge of t…

Spectrum of the unresolved cosmic X ray background: what is unresolved 50 years after its discovery

A. Moretti, S. Vattakunnel, P. Tozzi +5

We study the spectral properties of the unresolved cosmic X-ray background (CXRB) in the 1.5-7.0 keV energy band with the aim of providing an observational constraint on the statis…

Counts of high-redshift GRBs as probe of primordial non-Gaussianities

Umberto Maio, Ruben Salvaterra, Lauro Moscardini +1

We propose to use high-redshift long -ray bursts (GRBs) as cosmological tools to constrain the amount of primordial non-Gaussianity in the density field. By using numerical, N-b…

The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): spectral classification through Principal Component Analysis

A. Marchetti, B. R. Granett, L. Guzzo +51

We develop a Principal Component Analysis aimed at classifying a sub-set of 27,350 spectra of galaxies in the range 0.4 < z < 1.0 collected by the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshi…

LUCIFER@LBT view of star-forming galaxies in the cluster 7C 1756+6520 at z~1.4

Laura Magrini, Veronica Sommariva, Giovanni Cresci +5

Galaxy clusters are key places to study the contribution of {\it nature} (i.e. mass, morphology) and {\it nurture} (i.e.environment) in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Rec…

Distance Measurements and Stellar Population Properties via Surface Brightness Fluctuations

Alexander Fritz

Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBFs) are one of the most powerful techniques to measure the distance and to constrain the unresolved stellar content of extragalactic systems. For…

Constraints on the Galactic Halo Dark Matter from Fermi-LAT Diffuse Measurements

LAT collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +139

We have performed an analysis of the diffuse gamma-ray emission with the Fermi Large Area Telescope in the Milky Way Halo region searching for a signal from dark matter annihilatio…

On the linear term correction for needlets/wavelets non-Gaussianity estimators

Simona Donzelli, Frode K. Hansen, Michele Liguori +2

We derive the linear correction term for needlet and wavelet estimators of the bispectrum and the non-linearity parameter fNL on cosmic microwave background radiation data. We show…

The power spectrum from the angular distribution of galaxies in the CFHTLS-Wide fields at redshift ~0.7

B. R. Granett, L. Guzzo, J. Coupon +32

We measure the real-space galaxy power spectrum on large scales at redshifts 0.5 to 1.2 using optical colour-selected samples from the CFHT Legacy Survey. With the redshift distrib…
