The distribution of matter in galaxies of different luminosities and Hubble types, as inferred from observations, plays an important role in cosmology...
Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies: dynamical constraints
Dark Matter in Galaxies is an important subject of current astrophysical research. I will concentrate on spiral galaxies, and first give an overview of the...
Dust polarization spectral dependence as major constraint for primordial CMB B-modes detection
The search for the primordial B-modes polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, carrying the signature of the primordial gravitational...
Effective bias to model and infer the cosmological large scale structure
The cosmological large-scale structure encodes a wealth of information about the origin and evolution of our Universe. Galaxy redshift surveys provide a 3...
Extragalactic background light and its implications for galaxy evolution and gamma-ray astronomy
The extragalactic background light (EBL) is of fundamental importance both for understanding the entire process of galaxy evolution and for gamma-ray astronomy...
The evidence for the existence of dark energy is conclusive, but its nature remains one of the most puzzling mysteries in all of physics. Astronomical surveys...
Galaxy evolution and cosmology using gamma rays observed with Fermi-LAT
T he light emitted by all galaxies across the history of the Universe is encoded in the intensity of the extragalactic background light (EBL), the diffuse...
