Cosmic voids: a novel probe to shed light on our Universe

Alice Pisani, Elena Massara, David N. Spergel +26

Cosmic voids, the less dense patches of the Universe, are promising laboratories to extract cosmological information. Thanks to their unique low density character, voids are extrem…

Massive Neutrinos Leave Fingerprints on Cosmic Voids

Christina D. Kreisch, Alice Pisani, Carmelita Carbone +5

Do void statistics contain information beyond the tracer 2-point correlation function? Yes! As we vary the sum of the neutrino masses, we find void statistics contain information a…

Testing the lognormality of the galaxy and weak lensing convergence distributions from Dark Energy Survey maps

L. Clerkin, D. Kirk, M. Manera +57

It is well known that the probability distribution function (PDF) of galaxy density contrast is approximately lognormal; whether the PDF of mass fluctuations derived from weak lens…
