Observing the polarized microwave sky: 10 years of the QUIJOTE experiment
I will review the status of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) experiment, a project led from the IAC with the aim of characterising the polarisation of the...
Probing the Dark Flow signal in WMAP 9 yr and PLANCK cosmic microwave background maps.
The ``dark flow'' dipole is a statistically significant dipole found at the position of galaxy clusters in filtered maps of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)...
The XLENS Project: Constrain the Initial Mass Function and the Luminous & Dark Matter distribution in massive Early-Type Galaxies
I will present results from The X-Shooter Lens Survey (XLENS). With XLENS we are unambiguously separate the stellar from the dark-matter content in the internal...
The standard model of cosmology has been quite successful accounting for a broad range of data - at least until the past few years. But as the quality of...
Over the past decade there has been a growing body of evidence for a closely regulated balance of heating and cooling of the intracluster medium in the cores of...
Application of simulation-based inference to problems in astrophysics
The next decade will see a deluge of new cosmological data that will enable us to accurately map out the distribution of matter in the local Universe, image...
Dark matter makes up most of the mass of the Universe but remains mysterious. I discuss recent progress in constraining its properties by measuring its...
After introducing the concepts of axions and axion-like-particles (ALPs) and their signals, true axions which can be either much heavier or muchlighter than the...
