Cosmic explosions, life in the Universe and the Cosmological Constant
Tsvi Piran, Raul Jimenez, Antonio J. Cuesta +2
Galactic Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are copious sources of gamma-rays that can pose a threat to complex life. Using recent determinations of their rate and the probability of GRBs cau…
Enhancing the Cosmic Shear Power Spectrum
Fergus Simpson, Joachim Harnois-Déraps, Catherine Heymans +3
Applying a transformation to a non-Gaussian field can enhance the information content of the resulting power spectrum, by reducing the correlations between Fourier modes. In the co…
The Size Distribution of Inhabited Planets
Fergus Simpson
Earth-like planets are expected to provide the greatest opportunity for the detection of life beyond the Solar System. However our planet cannot be considered a fair sample, especi…
Unscreening Modified Gravity in the Matter Power Spectrum
Lucas Lombriser, Fergus Simpson, Alexander Mead
Viable modifications of gravity that may produce cosmic acceleration need to be screened in high-density regions such as the Solar System, where general relativity is well tested.…
