Very long wavelength universal gravitational waves cannot now produce in clusters of galaxies velocity dispersions greater than that which these systems would possess if they were expanding with the Universe, if the Universe is not younger than $10^{10}$ yr and Hubble's constant is not less than 50 km/sec/ Mpc. A diagram shows that actual velocity dispersions are significantly greater than this limit.

  1. Improved recipes for peculiar velocity power spectra using Evolution Mapping

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 accept novelty 7.0

    Improved fitting functions for P_θθ(k) and P_δθ(k) parametrized by σ12 achieve 1-2% accuracy across cosmologies and outperform existing prescriptions.

    astro-ph.CO 2024-04 accept novelty 7.0

    DESI measures BAO scales in six redshift bins with 0.52% combined precision using 5.7 million objects, detecting the signal at up to 9.1 sigma and finding larger scales than Planck LCDM at z<0.8.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In Hu-Sawicki f(R) gravity the redshift-space bispectrum monopole and quadrupole show 2-8% deviations from GR at z=0.7 and k~0.3 h/Mpc with forecasted SNR of 30 and 15 for Euclid.

    astro-ph.CO 2024-08 conditional novelty 6.0

    Novel implementation of anisotropic 3PCF model and estimator tested on 298 halo catalogs shows degeneracy breaking between f and b1 in 3PCF-only analysis but limited added value in joint 2PCF+3PCF due to tree-level mo...

  5. Cosmological inference with halo clustering reconstructed from the redshift-space galaxy distribution

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0

    Halo reconstruction from redshift-space galaxies allows unbiased EFT full-shape inference with >20% tighter fσ8 constraints and stable results to smaller scales on DESI mocks.

  6. Neutrino self-interactions in post-reionization era: Lyman-$\alpha$, 21-cm and cross-spectra

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Fisher forecasts indicate that Lyα-21cm cross-spectra with PUMA and CMB data can improve constraints on neutrino self-interaction strength G_eff by 1-2 orders of magnitude over CMB alone.

  7. Cosmology-Independent Constraints on the Etherington Relation and SNeIa Absolute Magnitude Evolution from DESI-DR2

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 accept novelty 4.0

    DESI-DR2 angular diameter distances and SNeIa luminosity distances are statistically consistent with the Etherington relation, yielding a constraint on SNeIa absolute magnitude evolution of dM/dz = 0.07 ± 0.07.
