Causal Gravitational-Wave Production Does Not Generate Infrared Adiabatic Curvature

Ruth Durrer, Alessandro Melchiorri

Short tensor modes can generate a white noise contribution to the local scalar , but this does not induce an infrared-enhanced adiabatic curvature spectrum. For a c…

The Rotation Curve of the Milky Way: State of the Art, the Keplerian Decline Debate, and Implications for Dark Matter

Alessandro Melchiorri, Ruchika

For four decades, the roughly flat rotation curve (RC) of the Milky Way (MW) stood as local evidence for an extended dark matter (DM) halo. \textit{Gaia} DR3 has changed the pictur…

Present Day Cosmic Acceleration from SDSS and DESI BAO: A Call for Finer Tomography of the DESI Bright Galaxy Survey

Anna Chiara Ferri, Ruchika, Alessandro Melchiorri

The DESI collaboration's Data Release~2 (DR2) provides baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements from over 14 million galaxies and quasars, and a joint analysis of DESI BAO, C…

Investigating -Inflation: background evolution and constraints

Elisa Fazzari, Chiara De Leo, Giovanni Montani +3

In this work, we investigate the possibility of generating an inflationary mechanism within the framework of a metric- modified gravity theory, formulated in the Jordan frame…

The effective running Hubble constant in SNe Ia as a marker for the dark energy nature

E. Fazzari, M. G. Dainotti, G. Montani +1

We propose a new method that reveal the nature of dark energy (DE) evolution. Specifically, the method consists of studying the evolving trend regarding the effective running Hubbl…

Resilience and implications of adiabatic CMB cooling

Ruchika, William Giarè, Elsa M. Teixeira +1

We investigate potential deviations from the standard adiabatic evolution of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature, , using the latest Sunyaev-Zeldovich…
