The cosmic microwave background (CMB) contains an anomalous cold spot with a
surrounding hot ring, known as the Cold Spot. Inoue & Silk (2006) proposed that
this feature could be explained by postulating a supervoid: if such a large
underdense reg...

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) has non-Gaussian features in the
temperature fluctuations. An anomalous cold spot surrounded with a hot ring,
called the Cold Spot is one of such features. If a large underdence region
(supervoid) resides towa...

By monitoring a large number of stars in the Local Group galaxies, we can

Recently it has been claimed that the warm dark matter (WDM) model cannot at
the same time reproduce the observed Lyman-{\alpha} forests in distant quasar
spectra and solve the small-scale issues in the cold dark matter (CDM) model.
As an alternat...
