Wave Interference in Self-Interacting Fuzzy Dark Matter
Christian Capanelli, Wayne Hu, Evan McDonough
In the Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) scenario, the dark matter is composed of an ultra-light scalar field with coherence length and wave interference on astrophysical scales. Scalar fiel…
Do Observations Prefer Thawing Quintessence?
Guillaume Payeur, Evan McDonough, Robert Brandenberger
In light of recent observations by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), we study evidence for thawing quintessence over a cosmological constant as dark energy, with emp…
Natural Inflation with Exponentially Small Tensor-To-Scalar Ratio
Dario L. Lorenzoni, David I. Kaiser, Evan McDonough
We demonstrate that "natural inflation", also known as "axion inflation", can be compatible with Planck 2018 measurements of the cosmic microwave background, while predicting an ex…
Observational constraints on early dark energy
Evan McDonough, J. Colin Hill, Mikhail M. Ivanov +2
We review and update constraints on the Early Dark Energy (EDE) model from cosmological data sets, in particular Planck PR3 and PR4 cosmic microwave background (CMB) data and large…
