P., Vandenbroucke, B., & Pascoli, S. (2025). The FLAMINGO project: the coupling between baryonic feedback and cosmology in light of the S8 tension. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 537(2), 2160-2178. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staf093

Large-scale structure surveys have reported measurements of the density of matter, Ωm, and the amplitude of clustering, σ8, that are in tension with the values inferred from observations of the cosmic microwave background. While this may be a sign of... Read More about The FLAMINGO project: the coupling between baryonic feedback and cosmology in light of the S8 tension.

The Astrophysical Journal, 974(2), Article 275. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ad778b

We expect luminous (M 1450 ≲ −26.5) high-redshift quasars to trace the highest-density peaks in the early Universe. Here, we present observations of four z ≳ 6 quasar fields using JWST/NIRCam in the imaging and wide-field slitless spectroscopy mode a... Read More about EIGER. VI.

Numerical simulations have become one of the key tools used by theorists in all the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The development of modern tools that target the largest existing computing systems and exploit state-of-the-art numerical method...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(3), 2309-2326. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae698

Weak gravitational lensing convergence peaks, the local maxima in weak lensing convergence maps, have been shown to contain valuable cosmological information complementary to commonly used two-point statistics. To exploit the full power of weak lensi... Read More about The FLAMINGO project: baryonic impact on weak gravitational lensing convergence peak counts.

Non-linear CMB lensing with neutrinos and baryons: FLAMINGO simulations versus fast approximations (2024)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(2), 1862-1876. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae663

Weak lensing of the cosmic microwave background is rapidly emerging as a powerful probe of neutrinos, dark energy, and new
physics. We present a fast computation of the non-linear CMB lensing power spectrum that combines non-linear perturbation

The FLAMINGO project: revisiting the S8 tension and the role of baryonic physics (2023)
Journal Article

A number of recent studies have found evidence for a tension between observations of large-scale structure (LSS) and the predictions of the standard model of cosmology with the cosmological parameters fit to the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The... Read More about The FLAMINGO project: revisiting the S8 tension and the role of baryonic physics.
