The standard cosmological model has been established and its parameters are now measured with unprecedented precision. However, there is a big difference...
Beyond the Concordance Model with galaxy cluster mass profiles
I present the recent results obtained using the updated version of MG-MAMPOSSt, a code that constrains modified gravity (MG) models viable at cosmological...
I revisit the claim of Dark Energy detection after stacking CMB data on the angular position of voids and superclusters in Sloan Data. I examine the...
We present recent theoretical and empirical results concerning the accuracy of Cepheid distance estimates based on optical and near-infrared (NIR) Period...
Constraints on Ultra-Light Dark Matter from Galactic Rotation Curves
Bosonic ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) in the mass range m ~ $10^{-22} - 10^{-21} \rm eV$ has been invoked as a motivated candidate with new input for the small...
In the first part of this talk I will present a historical review of the CMB observations, one of the most powerful cosmological probes. Following the first...
