Probing sub-eV Dark Matter decays with PTOLEMY

Kyrylo Bondarenko, Alexey Boyarsky, Marco Nikolic +2

When the Dark Matter mass is below the eV-scale, its cosmological occupation number exceeds the ones of photons from the cosmic microwave background as well as of relic neutrinos.…

An EAGLE view of the missing baryons

Toni Tuominen, Jukka Nevalainen, Elmo Tempel +6

Context. A significant fraction of the predicted baryons remains undetected in the local universe. We adopted the common assumption that a large fraction of the missing baryons cor…

Bayesian reconstruction of the inflaton's speed of sound using CMB data

Guadalupe Cañas-Herrera, Jesús Torrado, Ana Achúcarro

We update the search for features, due to transient reductions in inflaton's speed of sound, in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) angular power spectrum using Planck 2018 tempe…

The mass-size relation of galaxy clusters

O. Contigiani, Y. M. Bahé, H. Hoekstra

The outskirts of accreting dark matter haloes exhibit a sudden drop in density delimiting their multi-stream region. Due to the dynamics of accretion, the location of this physical…

Higher-Curvature Corrections and Tensor Modes

William Giarè, Fabrizio Renzi, Alessandro Melchiorri

Higher-curvature corrections to the effective gravitational action may leave signatures in the spectrum of primordial tensor perturbations if the inflationary energy scale is suffi…

The Cosmic Dispersion Measure in the EAGLE Simulations

Adam J. Batten, Alan R. Duffy, Nastasha Wijers +4

The dispersion measure (DM) of fast radio bursts (FRBs) provides a unique way to probe ionised baryons in the intergalactic medium (IGM). Cosmological models with different paramet…

Strong detection of the CMB lensingxgalaxy weak lensingcross-correlation from ACT-DR4,PlanckLegacy and KiDS-1000

Naomi Clare Robertson, David Alonso, Joachim Harnois-Déraps +48

We measure the cross-correlation between galaxy weak lensing data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS-1000, DR4) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing data from the Atacama C…

Tightening weak lensing constraints on the ellipticity of galaxy-scale dark matter haloes

Tim Schrabback, Henk Hoekstra, Ludovic Van Waerbeke +19

Cosmological simulations predict that galaxies are embedded into triaxial dark matter haloes, which appear approximately elliptical in projection. Weak gravitational lensing allows…

A 4% measurement of using the cumulative distribution of strong-lensing time delays in doubly-imaged quasars

David Harvey

In the advent of large scale surveys, individually modelling strong-gravitational lenses and their counterpart time-delays in order to precisely measure will become computati…

The Coma cluster at LOFAR frequencies I: insights into particle acceleration mechanisms in the radio bridge

A. Bonafede, G. Brunetti, F. Vazza +18

Radio synchrotron emission from the bridges of low-density gas connecting galaxy clusters and groups is a challenge for particle acceleration processes. In this work, we analyse th…

The contribution of discrete sources to the sky temperature at 144 MHz

M. J. Hardcastle, T. W. Shimwell, C. Tasse +7

In recent years, the level of the extragalactic radio background has become a point of considerable interest, with some lines of argument pointing to an entirely new cosmological s…

LOFAR observations of galaxy clusters in HETDEX

R. J. van Weeren, T. W. Shimwell, A. Botteon +20

Diffuse cluster radio sources, in the form of radio halos and relics, reveal the presence of cosmic rays and magnetic fields in the intracluster medium (ICM). These cosmic rays are…

Reconciling galaxy cluster shapes, measured by theorists vs observers

David Harvey, Andrew Robertson, Sut-Ieng Tam +4

If properly calibrated, the shapes of galaxy clusters can be used to investigate many physical processes: from feedback and quenching of star formation, to the nature of dark matte…

Fast magnetic field amplification in distant galaxyclusters

Gabriella Di Gennaro, Reinout J. van Weeren, Gianfranco Brunetti +16

In the present-day Universe, magnetic fields pervade galaxy clusters, with strengths of a few microGauss obtained from Faraday Rotation. Evidence for cluster magnetic fields is als…

Magnetization of the intergalactic medium in the IllustrisTNG simulations: the importance of extended, outflow-driven bubbles

Andres Aramburo Garcia, Kyrylo Bondarenko, Alexey Boyarsky +3

We study the effects of galaxy formation physics on the magnetization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) using the IllustrisTNG simulations. We demonstrate that large-scale regions…
