Baryonic solutions and challenges for cosmological models of dwarf galaxies

LV Sales, A Wetzel, A Fattahi - Nature Astronomy, 2022 - nature.com
Galaxies and their dark-matter haloes have posed several challenges to the dark energy
plus cold dark matter (Λ CDM) cosmological model. These discrepancies between …

[HTML][HTML] Observational evidence for primordial black holes: A positivist perspective

BJ Carr, S Clesse, J Garcia-Bellido, MRS Hawkins… - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
We review numerous arguments for primordial black holes (PBHs) based on observational
evidence from a variety of lensing, dynamical, accretion and gravitational-wave effects. This …

Is the observable Universe consistent with the cosmological principle?

PK Aluri, P Cea, P Chingangbam… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The cosmological principle (CP)—the notion that the Universe is spatially isotropic and
homogeneous on large scales—underlies a century of progress in cosmology. It is …

Heavy-element production in a compact object merger observed by JWST
