Reaching the Metallicity Floor at : Lensed Star Clusters at Cosmic Dawn and Cosmic Noon

Raul Jimenez, Elena Tomasetti, Carmela Lardo +1

Origins of globular clusters (GCs) are linked to the assembly of their host galaxies. We analyze star-cluster populations in two strongly lensed systems that bracket Cosmic Dawn an…

Cosmic CORALS: Timing the Universe with high-z star clusters

Elena Tomasetti, Martin Millon, Licia Verde +5

In this work, we explore the potential of anchoring the age-redshift relation across cosmic time by probing the oldest star clusters at high redshift, now observed thanks to the Ja…

A new path to constrain the expansion history of the Universe in future spectroscopic galaxy surveys

Elena Tomasetti, Michele Moresco, Nicola Borghi +6

The current tension between early- and late-Universe measurements of the Hubble constant (), along with the still elusive nature of dark matter and dark energy, calls for mode…

Standard Sirens in 2040s: Probing the Cosmic Expansion History with Gravitational Waves and Spectroscopic Galaxy Surveys

Nicola Borghi, Michele Moresco, Richard I. Anderson +11

Gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescences have matured into a robust cosmological probe, providing self-calibrated luminosity distance measurements independent of…

Cosmic chronometers with galaxy clusters: a new avenue for multi-probe cosmology

E. Tomasetti, M. Moresco, G. Granata +9

We provide a new measurement of the expansion history of the Universe at with the cosmic chronometers (CC) method, exploiting the high-quality spectroscopic VLT/MUSE data…

The oldest Milky Way stars: New constraints on the age of the Universe and the Hubble constant

Elena Tomasetti, Cristina Chiappini, Samir Nepal +6

We exploit the most robust, old, and cosmology-independent age estimates of individual stars from Gaia DR3 to place a lower bound on the age of the Universe, . These constrain…
