Beyond ÎCDM with the SKA Observatory -- II: Unveiling the Secrets of the Early Universe
José Fonseca, Benedict Bahr-Kalus, Mario Ballardini +12
The origins of the universe remain one of the biggest mysteries in modern cosmology. While the Planck satellite has provided a wealth of information about the early universe, there…
Impact of lensing magnification on the power spectrum turnover
Yolanda Dube, Roy Maartens, Bikash R. Dinda +2
The turnover scale of the matter power spectrum -- and consequently of the standard galaxy power spectrum monopole -- encodes a fundamental signature of matter-radiation equa…
No evidence for phantom crossing: local goodness-of-fit improvements do not persist under global Bayesian model comparison
Bikash R. Dinda, Roy Maartens, Shun Saito
Recent cosmological data have been interpreted as indicating deviations from CDM within the standard parametrization, including hints of phantom crossing and dynamical…
Calibration-independent consistency test of BAO and SNIa data: update
Bikash R. Dinda, Roy Maartens, Chris Clarkson
In a recent paper, arXiv:2509.19899, we presented a new method to test the consistency between uncalibrated BAO and SNIa data through a common parameter, the Alcock-Paczynski varia…
Turnover detection using the power spectrum and bispectrum
Yolanda Dube, Bikash R. Dinda, Sheean Jolicoeur +1
The turnover at the peak of the Fourier matter power spectrum encodes a fundamental signature of matter-radiation equality in the early Universe. This delivers a potential standard…
Phantom crossing or dark interaction?
Sêcloka L. Guedezounme, Bikash R. Dinda, Roy Maartens
Recent results from DESI BAO measurements, together with Planck CMB and Pantheon+ data, suggest that there may be a `phantom' phase () in the expansion of the Univer…
