    Abstract : The rate at which stars have formed throughout the history of theuniverse is not constant, it started out slow, increased until around redshift ∼ 2 when it reversed and became slower again. The reason for this behaviour is still being investigated with various models and simulations usually based upon dark matter halos. READ MORE

  3. 2. A Tension between the Early and Late Universe: Could Our Underdense Cosmic Neighbourhood Provide an Explanation?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Sveva Castello; [2021]
    Keywords : Cosmology; Hubble tension; local void;

    Abstract : In recent years, the increasingly precise constraints on the value of the Hubble constant, H0, have highlighted a discrepancy between the results arising from early-time and late-time measurements. A potential solution to this so-called Hubble tension is the hypothesis that we reside in a cosmic void, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Largest Void and Cluster in Non-Standard Cosmology

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk astrofysik

    Author : Sveva Castello; [2020]
    Keywords : Cosmology; f R gravity; galaxy clusters; cosmic voids; extreme value statistics;

    Abstract : We employ observational data about the largest cosmic void and most massive galaxy cluster known to date, the 'Cold Spot' void and the 'El Gordo' cluster, in order to constrain the parameter |fR0| from the f(R) gravity formulation by Hu and Sawicki and the matter power spectrum normalization at present time, σ8. We obtain the marginalized posterior distribution for these two parameters through a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis, where the likelihood function is modeled through extreme value statistics.
