Chameleon screening in cosmic voids (2022)
Journal Article
Tamosiunas, A., Briddon, C., Burrage, C., Cutforth, A., Moss, A., & Vincent, T. (2022). Chameleon screening in cosmic voids. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2022(11), Article 056. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2022/11/056

A key goal in cosmology in the upcoming decade will be to form a better understanding of the accelerated expansion of the Universe. Upcoming surveys, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), Euclid and t... Read More about Chameleon screening in cosmic voids.

Dark sector domain walls could explain the observed planes of satellites (2022)
Journal Article
Naik, A. P., & Burrage, C. (2022). Dark sector domain walls could explain the observed planes of satellites. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2022(08), Article 020. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2022/08/020

The observed 'planes of satellites' around the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies are notoriously difficult to explain under the ΛCDM paradigm. Here, we propose an alternative solution: domain walls arising in theories with symmetry-breaking scalar... Read More about Dark sector domain walls could explain the observed planes of satellites.

Chameleon screening depends on the shape and structure of NFW halos (2022)
Journal Article
Tamosiunas, A., Briddon, C., Burrage, C., Cui, W., & Moss, A. (2022). Chameleon screening depends on the shape and structure of NFW halos. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2022(4), Article 047. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2022/04/047

Chameleon gravity is an example of a model that gives rise to interesting phenomenology on cosmological scales while simultaneously possessing a screening mechanism, allowing it to avoid solar system constraints. Such models result in non-linear fiel... Read More about Chameleon screening depends on the shape and structure of NFW halos.

Charting galactic accelerations - II: How to ‘learn’ accelerations in the solar neighbourhood (2022)
Journal Article
Naik, A. P., An, J., Burrage, C., & Evans, N. W. (2022). Charting galactic accelerations - II: How to ‘learn’ accelerations in the solar neighbourhood. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 511(2), 1609-1621. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac153

Gravitational acceleration fields can be deduced from the collisionless Boltzmann equation, once the distribution function is known. This can be constructed via the method of normalizing flows from data sets of the positions and velocities of stars....
