abstract

We use a complete and rigorous statistical indicator to measure the level of concordance between cosmological data sets, without relying on the inspection of the marginal posterior distribution of some selected parameters. We apply this test to state of the art cosmological data sets, to assess their agreement within the $\Lambda$CDM model. We find that there is a good level of concordance between all the experiments with one noticeable exception. There is substantial evidence of tension between the CMB, temperature and polarization, measurements of the Planck satellite and the data from the CFHTLenS weak lensing survey even when applying ultra conservative cuts. These results robustly point toward the possibility of having unaccounted systematic effects in the data, an incomplete modelling of the cosmological predictions or hints toward new physical phenomena.

  1. Mass-Temperature relation in $\Lambda$CDM and modified gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A semianalytic ΛCDM cluster model with angular momentum, dynamical friction, and external pressure produces a mass-temperature relation that mimics f(R) and symmetron predictions, weakening the MTR as a gravity probe.
