early dark energy (ede) that behaves like a cosmological constant at early times (redshifts z ≳3000 ) and then dilutes away like radiation or faster at later times can solve the hubble tension. in these models, the sound horizon at decoupling is reduced resulting in a larger value of the hubble parameter h0 inferred fr... | early dark energy can resolve the hubble tension |
the european space agency's planck satellite, which is dedicated to studying the early universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched on 14 may 2009. it scanned the microwave and submillimetre sky continuously between 12 august 2009 and 23 october 2013. in february 2015, esa and the planck collaboration released t... | planck 2015 results. i. overview of products and scientific results |
in this work, we present a quintessential interpretation of having a blue-tilted tensor power spectrum for canonical single-field slow-roll inflation to explain the recently observed nanogracv 15-year signal of gravitational waves (gw). we formulate the complete semi-classical description of cosmological perturbation t... | single field inflation in the light of nanograv 15-year data: quintessential interpretation of blue tilted tensor spectrum through non-bunch davies initial condition |
the event horizon telescope (eht) is a very long baseline interferometry (vlbi) array that comprises millimeter- and submillimeter-wavelength telescopes separated by distances comparable to the diameter of the earth. at a nominal operating wavelength of ∼1.3 mm, eht angular resolution (λ/d) is ∼25 μas, which is suffici... | first m87 event horizon telescope results. ii. array and instrumentation |
we consider the constraints from supernova 1987a on particles with small couplings to the standard model. we discuss a model with a fermion coupled to a dark photon, with various mass relations in the dark sector; millicharged particles; dark-sector fermions with inelastic transitions; the hadronic qcd axion; and an ax... | supernova 1987a constraints on sub-gev dark sectors, millicharged particles, the qcd axion, and an axion-like particle |
