Challenges for ΛCDM: An update
Perivolaropoulos, L.; Skara, F.
A number of challenges to the standard ΛCDM model have been emerging during the past few years as the accuracy of cosmological observations improves. In this review we discuss in a unified manner many existing signals in cosmological and astrophysical data that appear to be in some tension (2 σ or larger) with the standard ΛCDM model as specified …
Black holes at cosmic dawn in the redshifted 21cm signal of HI
Mirabel, I. F.; Rodríguez, L. F.
The first stars (Pop III stars) and Black Holes (BHs) formed in galaxies at Cosmic Dawn (CD) have not been observed and remain poorly constrained. Theoretical models predict that indirect insights of those Pop III stars and BHs could be imprinted as an absorption signal in the 21cm line of the atomic hydrogen (HI) in the cold Intergalactic Medium …
