What's the dark matter made of? Do we have any idea of the kind of particle that should constitute ~85% of the matter content of the Universe? In this talk, I...
The Lyman-α forest catalogue from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Early Data Release
We present and validate the catalogue of Lyman-α forest fluctuations for 3D analyses using the Early Data Release (EDR) from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic...
The Negative Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Shift in the Lyα Forest from Cosmological Simulations
We present the first measurement of the Lyα forest baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) shift parameter from cosmological simulations. In particular, we generate...
The Robotic Multiobject Focal Plane System of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)
A system of 5020 robotic fiber positioners was installed in 2019 on the Mayall Telescope, at Kitt Peak National Observatory. The robots automatically retarget...
The Square Kilometre Array: At the Frontiers of Astronomy, Physics, and Astrobiology
The Square Kilometre Array is intended to be the centimeter- and meter-wavelength telescope for the 21st Century. Originally proposed as the "hydrogen telescope...
This is the first talk of a series of four aimed to discuss about Cosmology. Here, I will review the basic concepts of the standard cosmological model, which...
Simons Observatory (SO) is a new Cosmic Microwave Background telescope currently under construction in the Atacama Desert, close to ALMA and other recent CMB...
We present the clustering of voids based on the quasar (QSO) sample of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 16 in configuration...
What causes the accelerated expansion of the Universe?
The expansion of the Universe is in an accelerated phase. This acceleration was first estabilished by observations of SuperNovae, and has since been confirmed...
