Measuring Dark Energy with Massive Redshift Surveys
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is a Stage III dark energy experiment on the Sloan Telescope. For the five years from 2009-2014, we are...
Merger traces in the spatial distribution of stellar populations in the Fornax dSph galaxy
We present a comprehensive and detailed study of the stellar populations of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We analyse their spatial distributions along the...
Microwave spectro-polarimetry of matter and radiation across space and time
This paper discusses the science case for a sensitive spectro-polarimetric survey of the microwave sky. Such a survey would provide a tomographic and dynamic...
Near-IR narrow-band imaging with CIRCE at the Gran Telescopio Canarias: Searching for Lyα-emitters at z ∼ 9.3
Context. Identifying very high-redshift galaxies is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. However, many questions still remain, and...
New horizons in cosmology with spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background
This Voyage 2050 paper highlights the unique science opportunities using spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). CMB spectral distortions...

Observational Evidence for a Galaxy Overdensity/Protocluster at z=6.5
We present the results of our search near the end of the Reionization Epoch for faint galaxies around two close, massive Lyman-α emitters (LAEs) at redshift 6.5...
On the Pair-instability Supernova Origin of J1010+2358
The first (Population III) stars formed only out of H and He and were likely more massive than present-day stars. Massive Population III stars in the range 140...
I will review some theoretical ideas in Cosmology different to the standard "Big Bang": the Quasi-steady State model, Plasma Cosmology model, non-cosmological...
