Measurements of the growth rate of structures at with peculiar velocity surveys have the potential of testing the validity of general relativity on cosmic scales. In this…
Type Ia supernova constraints on compact object dark matter
S. Dhawan, E. Mörtsell
The nature of dark matter (DM) is an open question in cosmology, despite its abundance in the universe. While elementary particles have been posited to explain DM, compact astrophy…
Potential signature of a quadrupolar Hubble expansion in Pantheon+ supernovae
Jessica A. Cowell, Suhail Dhawan, Hayley J. Macpherson
The assumption of isotropy -- that the Universe looks the same in all directions on large scales -- is fundamental to the standard cosmological model. This model forms the building…
The prevalence and influence of circumstellar material around hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors
Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +44
Narrow transient emission lines (flash-ionization features) in early supernova (SN) spectra trace the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) around the massive progenitor stars o…
A BayeSN Distance Ladder: from a consistent modelling of Type Ia supernovae from the optical to the near infrared
Suhail Dhawan, Stephen Thorp, Kaisey S. Mandel +4
The local distance ladder estimate of the Hubble constant () is important in cosmology, given the recent tension with the early universe inference. We estimate from the…
