This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous editions, plus 2658 new measurements from 644 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge…
Cosmological Inflation and Large-Scale Structure
This textbook is the first to provide a modern and unified overview of inflationary cosmology and carefully compares predictions with the latest observations, including those of the cosmic microwave background, the clustering and velocities of galaxies and the epoch of structure formation.

The cluster abundance in flat and open cosmologies
We use the galaxy cluster X-ray temperature distribution function to constrain the am plitude of the power spectrum of density inhomogeneities on the scale corresponding to clusters. We carry out…
Dark Energy Survey year 1 results: Cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering and weak lensing
- D. Abbott, F. Abdalla, J. Zuntz
- PhysicsPhysical Review D
- 4 August 2017
We present cosmological results from a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing, using 1321 deg2 of griz imaging data from the first year of the Dark Energy Survey (DES…
The XMM Cluster Survey: A Massive Galaxy Cluster at z = 1.45
- S. Stanford, A. Romer, K. Bundy
- Physics
- 4 June 2006
We report the discovery of XMMXCS J2215.9-1738, a massive galaxy cluster at z = 1.45, which was found in the XMM Cluster Survey. The cluster candidate was initially identified as an extended X-ray…
THE XMM CLUSTER SURVEY: ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI AND STARBURST GALAXIES IN XMMXCS J2215.9−1738 AT z = 1.46
- M. Hilton, E. Lloyd-Davies, P. Viana
- Physics
- 25 May 2010
We use Chandra X-ray and Spitzer infrared (IR) observations to explore the active galactic nucleus (AGN) and starburst populations of XMMXCS J2215.9−1738 at z = 1.46, one of the most distant…
Information criteria for astrophysical model selection
- A. Liddle
- Computer Science
- 4 January 2007
The Deviance Information Criterion combines ideas from both heritages; it is readily computed from Monte Carlo posterior samples and, unlike the AIC and BIC, allows for parameter degeneracy.
Exponential potentials and cosmological scaling solutions
- E. Copeland, A. Liddle, D. Wands
- Physics
- 21 November 1997
Scalar fields have come to play a central role in current models of the early universe. The self-interaction potential energy density of such a field is undiluted by the expansion of the universe and…
The Primordial Density Perturbation
The origin and evolution of the primordial perturbation is the key to understanding structure formation in the earliest stages of the Universe. It carries clues to the types of physical phenomena…
