Constraining the growth of perturbations with lensing of supernovae
Luca Amendola, Tiago Castro, Valerio Marra +1
A recently proposed technique allows one to constrain both the background and perturbation cosmological parameters through the distribution function of supernova Ia apparent magnit…
On the significance of power asymmetries in Planck CMB data at all scales
Miguel Quartin, Alessio Notari
We perform an analysis of the CMB temperature data taken by the Planck satellite investigating if there is any significant deviation from cosmological isotropy. We look for differe…
First measurement of using supernova magnitudes only
Tiago Castro, Miguel Quartin
A method was recently proposed which allows the conversion of the weak-lensing effects in the supernova Hubble diagram from noise into signal. Such signal is sensitive to the growt…
Breaking the spell of Gaussianity: forecasting with higher order Fisher matrices
Elena Sellentin, Miguel Quartin, Luca Amendola
We present the new method DALI (Derivative Approximation for LIkelihoods) for reconstructing and forecasting posteriors. DALI extends the Fisher Matrix formalism but allows for a m…
