Learning the Universe with cosmological rescaling of merger trees and semi-analytic galaxy formation models
Richard Stiskalek, Lucia A. Perez, Shy Genel +3
Learning cosmology from galaxy surveys requires large suites of simulations spanning the cosmological and astrophysical parameter space, yet hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy fo…
Forward-modelling Milky Way Cepheids: selection effects and physical priors in the Gaia-HST calibration
Richard Stiskalek, Adam Riess, Harry Desmond +2
The advent of high-precision Gaia parallaxes for Milky Way Cepheids enables per cent-level calibration of the local distance ladder and the Hubble constant . We revisit the Mi…
from peculiar velocities: agreement with Planck for Tully--Fisher and supernovae, tension for the fundamental plane
Richard Stiskalek
Peculiar velocity measurements constrain the parameter combination , the product of the linear growth rate and the fluctuation amplitude . Under the approximation…
Forward-modelling the Tolman and distance-duality tests with IllustrisTNG
Harry Desmond, Tariq Yasin, Richard Stiskalek +1
The Tolman surface-brightness test and the angular-size distance-duality test are two complementary probes of the same underlying relation between luminosity and angular-diameter d…
The subtle statistics of the distance ladder: On the distance prior and selection effects
Harry Desmond, Richard Stiskalek, José Antonio Nájera +1
Statistical methodology is rarely considered significant in distance-ladder studies or a potential contributor to the Hubble tension. We suggest it should be, highlighting two appr…
Two per cent measurement of from Cepheids alone
Richard Stiskalek, Harry Desmond, Eleni Tsaprazi +4
One of the most pressing problems in current cosmology is the cause of the Hubble tension. We revisit a two-rung distance ladder, composed only of Cepheid periods and magnitudes, a…
