For once, then, something
For the past year, I have been stuck in a research slump. One year ago, I started applying for jobs; and with fellowship applications in the mix too, the whole period from October to December disappeared into the mire of proposals, cover letters and research statements. When I emerged after Christmas, it was into the…

The distance duality relation
The distance duality relation tells us how, assuming that photons propagate on null geodesics in a pseudo-Riemannian spacetime and that their number is conserved, luminosity and angular diameter distances are related, via where dL is the luminosity distance, dA the angular diameter distance and z the redshift. This relation was introduced by Etherington in 1933,…

Paper day! Madrid week seven
Today my first paper as first author came out on the arXiv! You can check it out here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.10449. In this work, we reconstruct a coupling function between dark matter and vacuum energy. Such models are generally motivated as solution to problems such as the Hubble tension, so we were keen to update our previous…

Constraints on the interacting vacuum — geodesic CDM scenario
At the very end of February, I published my first paper. In this post, I want to provide a brief, non-technical overview of what we* were doing in this work and the results we found. The manuscript is currently under review at MNRAS but you can view the preprint here: http://www.arxiv.org/abs/1902.10694. The aim of this…
