The distribution of matter in galaxies of different luminosities and Hubble types, as inferred from observations, plays an important role in cosmology...

The search for the primordial B-modes polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, carrying the signature of the primordial gravitational...

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...

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...

Any viable theory of the formation and evolution of galaxies should be able to broadly account for the emergent properties of the galaxy population, and their...

We examine the latest results concerning the evolution in the structures of galaxies from the local universe up to z ~ 6. We present results from the COSMOS...

Gravitational lensing is a powerful astrophysical tool which allow us to studythe dark sector of the universe. Some of these applications include from thestudy...

A key problem that we are facing in cosmology nowadays is that we cannot make accurate predictions with our current theoretical models. We have all of the...
