In recent years, the prospect of detecting gravitational waves sourced from a strongly first-order cosmological phase transition has emerged as one of the most exciting frontiers of gravitational wave astronomy.
Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
Astronomy and astrophysics are witnessing dramatic increases in data volume as detectors, telescopes and computers become ever more powerful.
Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics
Here, we consider cosmological models with post-recombination reheating (PRR), in which the CMB monopole temperature abruptly increases due to energy injection after last scattering.

We present the MULTIMODAL UNIVERSE, a large-scale multimodal dataset of scientific astronomical data, compiled specifically to facilitate machine learning research.

The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly-developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomical community.
Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics
We propose and perform a joint analysis of the two different mass estimates of galaxy clusters, namely the hydrostatic and caustic techniques.
Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics
Monte Carlo techniques, including MCMC and other methods, are widely used and generate sets of samples from a parameter space of interest that can be used to infer or plot quantities of interest.

Strong gravitational lensing, which can make a background source galaxy appears multiple times due to its light rays being deflected by the mass of one or more foreground lens galaxies, provides astronomers with a powerful tool to study dark matter, cosmology and the most distant Universe.
Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics Astrophysics of Galaxies
It is still in dispute the existence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) with a mass of ~10^3-10^5 solar masses (Msun), which are the missing link between stellar-mass black holes (5-50 Msun) and supermassive black holes (10^6-10^10 Msun).
High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
We explore the prospects of upcoming 21-cm surveys of cosmic dawn ($12\lesssim \! z\lesssim\! 30$) to provide cosmological information on top of upcoming cosmic microwave background (CMB) and large-scale structure surveys, such as CMB-S4, Simons Observatory (SO) and DESI.
