Growth of structures and redshift-space distortion data in scale-dependent gravity

Authors: Grigoris Panotopoulos, Ángel Rincón

Abstract: This study is devoted to the implications of scale-dependent gravity in Cosmology. Redshift-space distortion data indicate that there is a tension between ΛCDM and available observations as far as the value of the rms density fluctuation, σ8, is concerned. It has been pointed out that this tension may be alleviated in alternative theories in which gravity is weaker at red-shift z∼1. We study the evolution of density perturbations for non-relativistic matter on top of a spatially flat FLRW Universe, and we compute the combination A=fσ8 in the framework of scale-dependent gravity, where both Newton's constant and the cosmological constant are allowed to vary with time. Upon comparison between available observational data (supernovae data as well as redshift-space distortion data) and theoretical predictions of the model, we determine the numerical value of σ8 that best fits the data

A short mean free path at z=6 favors late and rapid reionization by faint galaxies

  arXiv:2105.10511    [ pdf ,  other ]    astro-ph.CO A short mean free path at  z = 6  favors late and rapid reionization by faint galaxies Authors:   Christopher Cain ,  Anson D'Aloisio ,  Nakul Gangolli ,  George D. Becker Abstract :  Recent measurements of the ionizing photon mean free path ( λ m f p 912 ) at  5 < z < 6  suggest that the IGM was rapidly evolving at those times. We use radiative transfer simulations to explore the implications for reionization, with a focus on the short value of  λ m f p 912 = 3.57 + 3.09 − 2.14  cMpc/ h  at  z = 6 . We introduce a model for sub-resolution ionizing photon sinks based on radiative hydrodynamics simulations of small-scale IGM clumping. We argue that the rapid evolution in  λ m f p 912  at  z = 5 − 6 , together with constraints on the metagalactic ionizing background, favors a late reionization process in which the neutral...

The growth rate of cosmic structures in the local Universe with the ALFALFA survey

  arXiv:2105.10583    [ pdf ,  other ]    astro-ph.CO The growth rate of cosmic structures in the local Universe with the ALFALFA survey Authors:   F. Avila ,  A. Bernui ,  E. de Carvalho ,  C. P. Novaes Abstract :  We investigate the growth rate of structures in the local Universe. For this, we use as a cosmological tracer the HI line extra-galactic sources from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey to obtain a measurement of the normalized growth rate parameter,  f σ 8 , considered a powerful tool to constrain alternative models of gravity. For these analyses, we calculate the Local Group velocity due to the matter structures distribution in the ALFALFA catalogue and compare it with the Local Group velocity relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background frame to obtain the velocity scale parameter,  β . Using Monte Carlo realizations and log-normal simulations, our methodology quantifies the errors introduced by sho...

Progressing our understanding of the FRB phenomenon is limited by their large distances and unpredictable activity. The recent discovery o...
