Is the Observable Universe Consistent with the Cosmological Principle?

Pavan Kumar Aluri, Paolo Cea, Pravabati Chingangbam +20

The Cosmological Principle (CP) -- the notion that the Universe is spatially isotropic and homogeneous on large scales -- underlies a century of progress in cosmology. It is conven…

Parity in Planck full-mission CMB temperature maps

Srikanta Panda, Pavan K. Aluri, Pramoda Kumar Samal +1

In the standard model of cosmology, Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) sky is expected to show no symmetry preferences. Following our previous studies, we explore the presence of an…
