Cosmic shear is the distortion of images of distant galaxies due to weak gravitational lensing
by the large-scale structure in the Universe. Such images are coherently deformed by the …

Abstract Euclid is a European Space Agency medium-class mission selected for launch in
2020 within the cosmic vision 2015–2025 program. The main goal of Euclid is to understand …

Measurements of the Hubble constant and, more generally, measurements of the expansion
rate and distances over the interval 0< z< 1 appear to be inconsistent with the predictions of …

MontePython is a parameter inference package for cosmology. We present the latest
development of the code over the past couple of years. We explain, in particular, two new …

We present cosmological parameter constraints based on the final nine-year Wilkinson
Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data, in conjunction with a number of additional …

We present the final nine-year maps and basic results from the Wilkinson Microwave
Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) mission. The full nine-year analysis of the time-ordered data …

We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of
the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon …

Abstract A flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe dominated by a cosmological
constant (Λ) and cold dark matter (CDM) has been the working model preferred by …

We analyse the implications of the Planck data for cosmic inflation. The Planck nominal
mission temperature anisotropy measurements, combined with the WMAP large-angle …

The accelerating expansion of the universe is the most surprising cosmological discovery in
many decades, implying that the universe is dominated by some form of “dark energy” with …
