Did the Universe Reheat After Recombination?

CobayaSampler/cobaya 7 Apr 2023

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.

PyAutoLens: Open-Source Strong Gravitational Lensing

Jammy2211/PyAutoLens 2 Jun 2021

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.

An 85-s X-ray quasi-periodicity after a stellar tidal disruption by a candidate intermediate-mass black hole

StingraySoftware/stingray 3 Mar 2025

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).

Probing light relics through cosmic dawn

lesgourg/class_public 26 Sep 2023

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.
