Measurements of secondary cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, such as the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect, will enable new tests of neutrino and dark sector properties. The kinetic SZ (kSZ) effect is produced by cosmological flows, probing structure growth. Ultra-light axions (ULAs) are a well-motivated dark-matter candidate. Here the im...

... factors of W ∆ and W arise from Fourier transforms and integrals over real-space covariance expressions for The resulting covariance matrix in the lowest redshift bin centered on z = 0.15 for a SIV survey is shown in Fig. 7. Additionally, the different contributions to the covariance are detailed in Fig. 8. We see there that cosmic variance dominates along the diagonal at all scales, with secondary contributions from shot noise. The contribution due to scatter in the cluster optical depth is negligible compared to other ...

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 blocks of essentially all of our cosmological knowledge to date. It is therefore critical to empirically test in which regimes its core assumptions hold. Anisotropies in...

A bstract New dark sectors consisting of exotic fields that couple only very feebly to the Standard Model (SM) have strong theoretical motivation and may be relevant to explaining the abundance of dark matter (DM). An important question for such sectors is how they connect to the SM. For a dark sector with a new gauge interaction, a natural connect...

The density profiles of dark matter haloes are commonly described by fitting functions such as the NFW or Einasto models, but these approximations break down in the transition region where halos become dominated by newly accreting matter. In Paper I we dynamically split simulation particles into orbiting and infalling components and analysed their...

We consider an isotropic homogeneous cosmological model with five interacting elements: first, the dynamic aether presented by a unit timelike vector field; second, the pseudoscalar field describing an axionic component of the dark matter; third, the cosmic dark energy, described by a rheologic fluid; fourth, the non-axionic dark matter coupled to...

The assumption of isotropy —that the Universe looks the same in all directions on large scales— is fundamental to the standard cosmological model. It is therefore critical to empirically test in which regimes this assumption holds. Anisotropies in the cosmic expansion are expected due to nonlinear structures in the late Universe. However, the exten...
