We apply a tension metric $Q_textrm{UDM}$, the update difference in mean parameters, to understand the source of the difference in the measured Hubble constant $H_0$ inferred with cosmic microwave background lensing measurements from the Planck satellite ($H_0=67.9^{+1.1}_{-1.3}, mathrm{km/s/Mpc}$) and from the South Pole Telescope ($H_0=72.0^{+2.1}_{-2.5}, mathrm{km/s/Mpc}$) when both are combined with baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with priors on the baryon density (BBN). $Q_textrm{UDM}$ isolates the relevant parameter directions for tension or concordance where the two data sets are both informative, and aids in the identification of subsets of data that source the observed tension. With $Q_textrm{UDM}$, we uncover that the difference in $H_0$ is driven by the tension between Planck lensing and BAO+BBN, at probability-to-exceed of 6.6%. Most of this mild tension comes from the galaxy BAO measurements parallel to the line of sight. The redshift dependence of the parallel BAOs pulls both the matter density $Omega_m$ and $H_0$ high in $Lambda$CDM, but these parameter anomalies are usually hidden when the BAO measurements are combined with other cosmological data sets with much stronger $Omega_m$ constraints.

Although the Hubble constant $H_0$ and spatial curvature $Omega_{K}$ have been measured with very high precision, they still suffer from some tensions. In this paper, we propose an improved method to combine the observations of ultra-compact structur
e in radio quasars and strong gravitational lensing with quasars acting as background sources to determine $H_0$ and $Omega_{K}$ simultaneously. By applying the distance sum rule to the time-delay measurements of 7 strong lensing systems and 120 intermediate-luminosity quasars calibrated as standard rulers, we obtain stringent constraints on the Hubble constant ($H_0=78.3pm2.9 mathrm{~km~s^{-1}~Mpc^{-1}}$) and the cosmic curvature ($Omega_K=0.49pm0.24$). On the one hand, in the framework of a flat universe, the measured Hubble constant ($H_0=73.6^{+1.8}_{-1.6} mathrm{~km~s^{-1}~Mpc^{-1}}$) is strongly consistent with that derived from the local distance ladder, with a precision of 2%. On the other hand, if we use the local $H_0$ measurement as a prior, our results are marginally compatible with zero spatial curvature ($Omega_K=0.23^{+0.15}_{-0.17}$) and there is no significant deviation from a flat universe. Finally, we also evaluate whether strongly lensed quasars would produce robust constraints on $H_0$ and $Omega_{K}$ in the non-flat and flat $Lambda$CDM model if the compact radio structure measurements are available from VLBI observations.
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a powerful probe to study the early universe and various cosmological models. Weak gravitational lensing affects the CMB by changing its power spectrum, but meanwhile, it also carries information about the distrib
ution of lensing mass and hence, the large scale structure (LSS) of the universe. When studies of the CMB is combined with the tracers of LSS, one can constrain cosmological models, models of LSS development and astrophysical parameters simultaneously. The main focus of this project is to study the cross-correlations between CMB lensing and the galaxy matter density to constrain the galaxy bias ($b$) and the amplitude scaling parameter ($A$), to test the validity of $Lambda$CDM model. We test our approach for simulations of the Planck CMB convergence field and galaxy density field, which mimics the density field of the Herschel Extragalactic Legacy Project (HELP). We use maximum likelihood method to constrain the parameters.
We use the three-scale framework of Hu et al. to show how the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy spectrum depends on the fundamental constants. As expected, the spectrum depends only on emph{dimensionless} combinations of the constants, and we em
phasize the points that make this generally true for cosmological observables. Our analysis suggests that the CMB spectrum shape is mostly determined by $alpha^2m_e/m_p$ and the proton-CDM-particle mass ratio, $m_p/mchi$. The distance to the last-scattering surface depends on $Gm_pmchi/hbar c$, so published CMB observational limits on time variations of the constants implicitly assume the time-independence of this quantity, as well as assuming a flat-lcdm~cosmological model. On the other hand, low-redshift BAO, $H_0$ and baryon-mass-fraction measurements can be combined with the emph{shape} of the CMB spectrum to give information that is largely independent of these assumptions. In particular we show that the pre-recombination values of $Gmchi^2/hbar c$, $m_p/mchi$ and $alpha^2m_e/m_p$ are equal to their present values at a precision of $sim15%$.
Low Density Points (LDPs, citet{2019ApJ...874....7D}), obtained by removing high-density regions of observed galaxies, can trace the Large-Scale Structures (LSSs) of the universe. In particular, it offers an intriguing opportunity to detect weak grav
itational lensing from low-density regions. In this work, we investigate tomographic cross-correlation between Planck CMB lensing maps and LDP-traced LSSs, where LDPs are constructed from the DR8 data release of the DESI legacy imaging survey, with about $10^6$-$10^7$ galaxies. We find that, due to the large sky coverage (20,000 deg$^2$) and large redshift depth ($zleq 1.2$), a significant detection ($10sigma$--$30sigma$) of the CMB lensing-LDP cross-correlation in all six redshift bins can be achieved, with a total significance of $sim 53sigma$ over $ ellle1024$. Moreover, the measurements are in good agreement with a theoretical template constructed from our numerical simulation in the WMAP 9-year $Lambda$CDM cosmology. A scaling factor for the lensing amplitude $A_{rm lens}$ is constrained to $A_{rm lens}=1pm0.12$ for $z<0.2$, $A_{rm lens}=1.07pm0.07$ for $0.2<z<0.4$ and $A_{rm lens}=1.07pm0.05$ for $0.4<z<0.6$, with the r-band absolute magnitude cut of $-21.5$ for LDP selection. A variety of tests have been performed to check the detection reliability, against variations in LDP samples and galaxy magnitude cuts, masks, CMB lensing maps, multipole $ell$ cuts, sky regions, and photo-z bias. We also perform a cross-correlation measurement between CMB lensing and galaxy number density, which is consistent with the CMB lensing-LDP cross-correlation. This work therefore further convincingly demonstrates that LDP is a competitive tracer of LSS.
We present the first study of cross-correlation between Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) gravitational lensing potential map measured by the $Planck$ satellite and $zgeq 0.8$ galaxies from the photometric redshift catalogues from Herschel Extragalac
tic Legacy Project (HELP), divided into four sky patches: NGP, Herschel Stripe-82 and two halves of SGP field, covering in total $sim 660$ deg$^{2}$ of the sky. Contrary to previous studies exploiting only the common area between galaxy surveys and CMB lensing data, we improve the cross-correlation measurements using the full available area of the CMB lensing map. We estimate galaxy linear bias parameter, $b$, from joint analysis of cross-power spectrum and galaxy auto-power spectrum using Maximum Likelihood Estimation technique to obtain the value averaged over four fields as $b=2.06_{-0.02}^{+0.02}$, ranging from $1.94_{-0.03}^{+0.04}$ for SGP Part-2 to $3.03_{-0.09}^{+0.10}$ for NGP. We also estimate the amplitude of cross-correlation and find the averaged value to be $A=0.52_{-0.08}^{+0.08}$ spanning from $0.34_{-0.19}^{+0.19}$ for NGP to $0.67_{-0.20}^{+0.21}$ for SGP Part-1 respectively, significantly lower than expected value for the standard cosmological model. We perform several tests on systematic errors that can account for this discrepancy. We find that lower amplitude could be to some extent explained by the lower value of median redshift of the catalogue, however, we do not have any evidence that redshifts are systematically overestimated.
