Aims. We analyze the clustering of galaxy clusters in a large contiguous sample, the Constrain Dark Energy with X-ray (CODEX) sample. We construct a likelihood...
Primordial non-Gaussianity with angular correlation function: integral constraint and validation for DES
Local primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) is a promising observable of the underlying physics of inflation, characterized by $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc}$. We present the...
Probabilities of filaments in a Poissonian distribution of points. I - Straight filaments
Statistical techniques are devised to assess the likelihood of a Poisson sample of points in two and three dimensions, containing specific filamentary...
Probability Distribution of Density Fluctuations in the Nonlinear Regime
We present a general procedure for obtaining the present density fluctuation probability distribution given the statistics of the initial conditions. The main...
Probing the small-scale structure of the intergalactic medium with ESPRESSO: spectroscopy of the lensed QSO UM673
The gravitationally lensed quasar J014516.6-094517 at z = 2.719 has been observed with the ESPRESSO instrument at the ESO VLT to obtain high-fidelity spectra of...
Properties of Cosmic Lithium Isotopes Measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer
We present the first measurement of cosmic-ray fluxes of Li 6 and Li 7 isotopes in the rigidity range from 1.9 to 25 GV. The measurements are based on 9.7 × 10...
Puzzling large-scale polarization in the galaxy cluster Abell 523
Large-scale magnetic fields reveal themselves through diffuse synchrotron sources observed in galaxy clusters such as radio halos. Total intensity filaments of...
QSO 2237+0305 VR Light Curves from Gravitational LensES International Time Project Optical Monitoring
We present VR observations of QSO 2237+0305 conducted by the Gravitational Lensing International Time Project collaboration from 1999 October 1 to 2000 February...
QSO+Galaxy Association and Discrepant Redshifts in NEQ3
Spectroscopy and deep imaging of the group NEQ3 are presented. This system is formed by three compact objects with relative separations of ~2.6" and ~2.8" and a...
