We review higher-dimensional unified theories from the general relativity, rather than the
particle physics side. Three distinct approaches to the subject are identified and contrasted …

The Sunyaev–Zel'dovich effect causes a change in the apparent brightness of the cosmic
microwave background radiation towards a cluster of galaxies or any other reservoir of hot …

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 …

The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, which was dedicated to studying the early
Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched on 14 May 2009. It scanned the …

We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements
of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, combining information from the …

We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements
of the CMB anisotropies. We find good consistency with the standard spatially-flat 6 …

The Cosmicflows database of galaxy distances that in the second edition contained 8188
entries is now expanded to 17,669 entries. The major additions are 2257 distances that we …

The Early Universe has become the standard reference on forefront topics in cosmology,
particularly to the early history of the Universe. Subjects covered include primordial …

We present the results of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS), a ten-year project to map the
full three-dimensional distribution of galaxies in the nearby universe. The Two Micron All Sky …

Five methods for obtaining linear regression fits to bivariate data with unknown or
insignificant measurement errors are discussed: ordinary least-squares (OLS) regression of …
