Probing dark energy evolution with Quaia quasars through the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect

M. Ghodsi Yengejeh, J. R. Bermejo-Climent, A. Kovács +2

The Integrated Sachs--Wolfe (ISW) effect probes the late-time evolution of gravitational potentials and provides a complementary test of the nature of dark energy. We investigate w…

Cylindrical cosmological simulations with StePS

Gábor Rácz, Viola H. Varga, Balázs Pál +3

The global topology of the Universe can affect long-range gravitational forces via boundary conditions. Detailed studies of non-trivial topologies require simulations that natively…

The CMB lensing imprint of cosmic voids detected in the WISE-Pan-STARRS luminous red galaxy catalog

G. Camacho-Ciurana, P. Lee, N. Arsenov +3

The cross-correlation of cosmic voids with the lensing convergence () map of the CMB fluctuations offers a powerful tool to refine our understanding of the dark sector in the co…

Complementary Cosmological Simulations

Gábor Rácz, Alina Kiessling, István Csabai +1

Cosmic variance limits the accuracy of cosmological N-body simulations, introducing bias in statistics such as the power spectrum, halo mass function, or the cosmic shear. We provi…

Evidence for a high-z ISW signal from supervoids in the distribution of eBOSS quasars

A. Kovács, R. Beck, A. Smith +3

The late-time integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) imprint of super-structures is sourced by evolving large-scale potentials due to a dominant dark energy co…

An empirical nonlinear power spectrum overdensity-response

Gábor Rácz, István Szapudi, István Csabai

Context. The overdensity inside a cosmological sub-volume and the tidal fields from its surroundings affect the matter distribution of the region. The resulting difference between…

The anisotropy of the power spectrum in periodic cosmological simulations

Gábor Rácz, István Szapudi, István Csabai +1

The classical gravitational force on a torus is anisotropic and always lower than Newton's law. We demonstrate the effects of periodicity in dark matter only -body simul…

A common explanation of the Hubble tension and anomalous cold spots in the CMB

András Kovács, Róbert Beck, István Szapudi +3

The standard cosmological paradigm narrates a reassuring story of a universe currently dominated by an enigmatic dark energy component. Disquietingly, its universal explaining powe…

Weak lensing cosmology with convolutional neural networks on noisy data

Dezső Ribli, Bálint Ármin Pataki, José Manuel Zorrilla Matilla +3

Weak gravitational lensing is one of the most promising cosmological probes of the late universe. Several large ongoing (DES, KiDS, HSC) and planned (LSST, EUCLID, WFIRST) astronom…

An improved cosmological parameter inference scheme motivated by deep learning

Dezső Ribli, Bálint Ármin Pataki, István Csabai

Dark matter cannot be observed directly, but its weak gravitational lensing slightly distorts the apparent shapes of background galaxies, making weak lensing one of the most promis…

The integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect in the AvERA cosmology

Róbert Beck, István Csabai, Gábor Rácz +1

The recent AvERA cosmological simulation of Rácz et al. (2017) has a -like expansion history and removes the tension between local and Planck (cosmic microwave backg…
