Testing loop quantum cosmology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Loop quantum cosmology predicts that quantum gravity effects resolve the big-bang singularity and replace it by a cosmic bounce. Furthermore, loop quantum cosmology can also modify the form of primordial cosmological perturbations, for example by ...

Limitations of Observational Cosmology [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1990
AbstractUnlike the usual situation with theoretical physics which is testable in the laboratory, in cosmological theories of the universe one faces the following problems: The observer is part of the system, the universe, and this system cannot be altered to test physical theory.

The Cosmological Constant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This is a review of the physics and cosmology of the cosmological constant. Focusing on recent developments, I present a pedagogical overview of cosmology in the presence of a cosmological constant, observational constraints on its magnitude, and the ...

Towards an Observational Appraisal of String Cosmology

open access: yes, 2011
We review the current observational status of string cosmology when confronted with experimental datasets. We begin by defining common observational parameters and discuss how they are determined for a given model.

Cosmology with Peculiar Velocities: Observational Effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we investigate how observational effects could possibly bias cosmological inferences from peculiar velocity measurements. Specifically, we look at how bulk flow measurements are compared with theoretical predictions.

Generalized holographic cosmology: low-redshift observational constraint

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Four-dimensional cosmological models are studied on a boundary of a five-dimensional Anti-de Sitter (AdS 5) black hole with AdS Reissner-Nordström and scalar charged Reissner-Nordström black hole solutions, where we call the former a “Hairless” black ...

The Target-selection Pipeline for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
In 2021 May, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) began a 5 yr survey of approximately 50 million total extragalactic and Galactic targets. The primary DESI dark-time targets are emission line galaxies, luminous red galaxies, and quasars.

Cross-correlating Dark Sirens and Galaxies: Constraints on H 0 from GWTC-3 of LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We apply the cross-correlation technique to infer the Hubble constant ( H _0 ) of the Universe using gravitational-wave (GW) sources without electromagnetic counterparts (dark sirens) from the third GW Transient Catalog (GWTC-3) and the photometric ...

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...
