Addressing Dipole Tension via Clustering in CDM and beyond
Arefeh Daei Rasouli, Haniyeh S. Tadayyoni, Shant Baghram +1
The dipole in the angular distribution of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is attributed to the Doppler effect and our motion relative to the CMB rest frame. It is expected th…
Microlensing Signatures of Dyson Sphere-like Structures around Primordial Black Holes as Technosignatures of Extraterrestrial Advanced Civilizations
Shant Baghram
We investigate the microlensing detectability of extraterrestrial technosignatures originating from Dyson sphere \textendash like structures, such as Dyson Swarms surrounding primo…
Schwarzschild Spacetime and the Local Limit of Nonlocal Gravity
Yahya Mohammadi, Javad Tabatabaei, Shant Baghram +1
We investigate static spherically symmetric solutions within the framework of the local limit of nonlocal gravity. This theory departs from Einstein's general relativity (GR) throu…
Addressing the too-big-to-fail problem and the void phenomenon through a modified initial power spectrum
Hamed Kameli, Shant Baghram
We investigate the impact of early-time initial conditions on nonlinear structure formation and evolution within the framework of the semi-analytical Excursion Set Theory (EST). Ou…
Luminosity Function of Galaxies in Voids: A Modification Inspired by Excursion Set Theory
Zeynab Ashurikisomi, Shant Baghram
In the standard picture of cosmology, the galaxies reside in dark matter (DM) halos. DM halos are distributed in the cosmic web in different environments. The luminosity of the gal…
Elliptically Polarized Plane Gravitational Waves
Masoud Molaei, Shant Baghram, Bahram Mashhoon
Exact plane gravitational radiation fields are presented within the framework of general relativity and their properties are described. The physics of nonlinear elliptically polari…
