Euclid: The reduced shear approximation and magnification bias for Stage IV cosmic shear experiments

A. C. Deshpande, T. D. Kitching, V. F. Cardone +69

Stage IV weak lensing experiments will offer more than an order of magnitude leap in precision. We must therefore ensure that our analyses remain accurate in this new era. Accordin…

Probing the Weak Gravity Conjecture in the Cosmic Microwave Background

Martin Wolfgang Winkler, Martina Gerbino, Micol Benetti

The weak gravity conjecture imposes severe constraints on natural inflation. A trans-Planckian axion decay constant can only be realized if the potential exhibits an additional (su…

Connecting early and late epochs by f(z)CDM cosmography

Micol Benetti, Salvatore Capozziello

The cosmographic approach is gaining considerable interest as a model-independent technique able to describe the late expansion of the universe. Indeed, given only the observationa…

Euclid: Reconstruction of Weak Lensing mass maps for non-Gaussianity studies

S. Pires, V. Vandenbussche, V. Kansal +43

Weak lensing, which is the deflection of light by matter along the line of sight, has proven to be an efficient method for constraining models of structure formation and reveal the…

A deep learning approach to cosmological dark energy models

Celia Escamilla-Rivera, Maryi Alejandra Carvajal Quintero, S. Capozziello

We propose a novel deep learning tool in order to study the evolution of dark energy models. The aim is to combine two architectures: the Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and the Ba…

Looking for interactions in the cosmological dark sector

Micol Benetti, Welber Miranda, Humberto A. Borges +3

We study observational signatures of non-gravitational interactions between the dark components of the cosmic fluid, which can be either due to creation of dark particles from the…

Tension with the flat ΛCDM model from a high redshift Hubble Diagram of supernovae, quasars and gamma-ray bursts

E. Lusso, E. Piedipalumbo, G. Risaliti +4

In the current framework, the standard parametrization of our Universe is the so-called Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) model. Recently, Risaliti & Lusso (2019) have shown a ~4σ ten…

Dawn of the dark: unified dark sectors and the EDGES Cosmic Dawn 21-cm signal

Weiqiang Yang, Supriya Pan, Sunny Vagnozzi +3

While the origin and composition of dark matter and dark energy remains unknown, it is possible that they might represent two manifestations of a single entity, as occurring in uni…

Observational Constraints on Warm Inflation in Loop Quantum Cosmology

Micol Benetti, Leila Graef, Rudnei O. Ramos

By incorporating quantum aspects of gravity, Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) provides a self-consistent extension of the inflationary scenario, allowing for modifications in the primo…

Astrophysical neutrinos: theory

Ofelia Pisanti

In the era of multi-messenger astronomy, neutrinos are among the most important astronomical messengers, due to their interaction properties. In these lessons I briefly review the…

Observational tests of the Glavan, Prokopec and Starobinsky model of dark energy

Marek Demianski, Ester Piedipalumbo

In the last dozens of years different data sets revealed the accelerated expansion of the Universe which is driven by the so called dark energy, that now dominates the total amount…

Search for sub-solar mass ultracompact binaries in Advanced LIGO's second observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1187

We present an Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for sub-solar mass ultracompact objects in data obtained during Advanced LIGO's second observing run. In contrast to a previou…

Revisiting the statistical isotropy of GRB sky distribution

Uendert Andrade, Carlos A. P. Bengaly, Jailson S. Alcaniz +1

The assumption of homogeneity and isotropy on large scales is one of the main hypotheses of the standard cosmology. In this paper, we test the hypothesis of isotropy from the two-p…
