Observational constraints on the fractal cosmology
In this paper, we explore a fractal model of the universe proposed by Calcagni (J High Energy Phys 03:120, 2010) for a power-counting renormalizable field theory living in a fractal spacetime.

Supernovae - a tool for observational cosmology [PDF]
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe) are excellent distance indicators in the Universe. Observations of distant SNe~Ia led to the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe. The most recent analysis of SNe Ia indicates that considering a flat $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, the contribution of dark energy in the total density of the Universe is $\sim$70 ...

Observations in quantum cosmology
AbstractIn this review, we focus on whether a canonical quantization of general relativity can produce testable predictions for cosmology. In particular, we examine how this approach can be used to model the evolution of primordial perturbations.

Sample Variance in Cosmological Observations with a Narrow Field of View
Surveys with a narrow field of view can play an important role in probing cosmology, but inferences from these surveys suffer from large sample variance, arising from random fluctuations around the cosmic mean.

Revisiting geodesic observers in cosmology [PDF]
AbstractGeodesic observers in cosmology are revisited. The coordinates based on freely falling observers introduced by Gautreau in de Sitter and Einstein-de Sitter spaces (and, previously, by Gautreau and Hoffmann in Schwarzschild space) are extended to general FLRW universes.

The DESI Survey Validation: Results from Visual Inspection of the Quasar Survey Spectra
A key component of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey validation (SV) is a detailed visual inspection (VI) of the optical spectroscopic data to quantify key survey metrics. In this paper we present results from VI of the quasar survey

Despite the title, I am afraid that I will not be able to really do justice to the broad topic I was given to review. But I will show the current striking level of precise consistency between the CMB and LSS data \textit{within the \LCDM\ theoretical framework} (with the acronyms CMB and LSS standing for Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale ...

Performance of the Quasar Spectral Templates for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
Millions of quasar spectra will be collected by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), leading to a fourfold increase in the number of known quasars.

Low-Redshift Observational Constraints on Dark Energy Cosmologies [PDF]
Applying the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm and using low-redshift observational data, we put cosmological constraints on dark energy cosmologies. Our main aim is to show the influence of each data sample on the procedure of constraining.
