We perform for the first time high-resolution zoom-in re-simulations of individual halos in the context of the Multi-coupled Dark Energy (McDE) scenario, which is characterised by the existence of two distinct dark matter particle species with opposite couplings to a Dark Energy scalar field. We compare the structural properties of the simulated halos to the standard Lambda-CDM results. The zoomed-in initial conditions are set up using a specifically designed code called ZInCo that we publicly release along with the present paper. Our numerical results allow to investigate in detail and with unprecedented resolution the halo segregation process that characterises McDE cosmologies from its very early stages. In particular, we find that in contrast to what could be inferred from previous numerical analysis at lower resolution, the segregation process is already in place at redshifts as high as z ~ 7. Most remarkably, we find that the subsequent evolution of the segregation leads to the formation of cored total matter density profiles with a core size that progressively increases in time. The shape of the cored profiles can be accurately predicted as the superposition of two NFW profiles with an increasing offset, thereby confirming the interpretation of the simulations results in terms of the segregation of the two dark matter components of the halo as a consequence of their different coupling to the Dark Energy field.

Constrains of dark energy (DE) at high redshift from current and mock future observational data are obtained. It is found that present data give poor constraints of DE even beyond redshift z=0.4, and mock future 2298 type Ia supernove data only give
a little improvement of the constraints. We analyze in detail why constraints of DE decrease rapidly with the increasing of redshift. Then we try to improve the constraints of DE at high redshift. It is shown that the most efficient way is to improve the error of observations.
CO measurements of z~1-4 galaxies have found that their baryonic gas fractions are significantly higher than galaxies at z=0, with values ranging from 20-80 %. Here, we suggest that the gas fractions inferred from observations of star-forming galaxie
s at high-z are overestimated, owing to the adoption of locally-calibrated CO-H2 conversion factors (Xco). Evidence from both observations and numerical models suggest that Xco varies smoothly with the physical properties of galaxies, and that Xco can be parameterised simply as a function of both gas phase metallicity and observed CO surface brightness. When applying this functional form, we find fgas ~10-40 % in galaxies with M*=10^10-10^12 Msun at high-z. Moreover, the scatter in the observed fgas-M* relation is lowered by a factor of two. The lower inferred gas fractions arise physically because the interstellar media of high-z galaxies have higher velocity dispersions and gas temperatures than their local counterparts, which results in an Xco that is lower than the z=0 value for both quiescent discs and starbursts. We further compare these gas fractions to those predicted by cosmological galaxy formation models. We show that while the canonically inferred gas fractions from observations are a factor of 2-3 larger at a given stellar mass than predicted by models, our rederived Xco values for z=1-4 galaxies results in revised gas fractions that agree significantly better with the simulations.
We present the results of a series of N-body simulations in cosmologies where dark matter (DM) is coupled to dark energy (DE), so easing the cosmic coincidence problem. The dark-dark coupling introduces two novel effects in N-body dynamics: (i) DM pa
rticle masses vary with time; (ii) gravity between DM particles is ruled by a constant $G^{*}$, greater than Newtons constant $G$, holding in other 2-body interactions. As a consequence, baryons and DM particle distributions develop a large scale bias. Here we investigate DE models with Ratra-Peebles (RP) potentials; the dark-dark coupling is set in a parametric range compatible with observations, for as concern background and linear perturbation properties. We study the halo mass function, the halo density profile and the behavior of the non-linear bias. We find that non-linear dynamics puts additional constraints to the coupling parameter. They mostly arise from density profiles, that we find to yield higher concentrations, in coupled RP models, with respect to (uncoupled) dynamical DE cosmologies. Such enhancement, although being a strong effect in some coupling parameter range, is just a minor change for smaller but significant values of the coupling parameter. With these further restrictions, coupled DE models with RP potential are consistent with non-linear observables.
The nature of dark energy remains a profound mystery 20 years after the discovery of cosmic acceleration. A very high number density galaxy redshift survey over a wide area (HD GRS Wide) spanning the redshift range of 0.5<z<4 using the same tracer, c
arried out using massively parallel wide field multi-object slit spectroscopy from space, will provide definitive dark energy measurements with minimal observational systematics by design. The HD GRS Wide will illuminate the nature of dark energy, and lead to revolutionary advances in particle physics and cosmology. It will also trace the cosmic web of dark matter and provide key insight into large-scale structure in the Universe. The required observational facility can be established as part of the probe portfolio by NASA within the next decade.
Several independent cosmological data, collected within the last twenty years, revealed the accelerated expansion rate of the Universe, usually assumed to be driven by the so called dark energy, which, according to recent estimates, provides now abou
t 70 % of the total amount of matter-energy in the Universe. The nature of dark energy is yet unknown. Several models of dark energy have been proposed: a non zero cosmological constant, a potential energy of some self interacting scalar field, effects related to the non homogeneous distribution of matter, or effects due to alternative theories of gravity. Recently, it turned out that the standard flat LambdaCDM is disfavored (at 4 sigma) when confronted with a high redshift Hubble diagram, consisting of supernovae of type Ia (SNIa), quasars (QSOs) and gamma ray-bursts (GRBs) ([1-3]). Here we use the same data to investigate if this tension is confirmed, using a different approach: actually in [1-3], the deviation between the best fit model and the LambdaCDM model was noticed by comparing cosmological parameters derived from cosmographic expansions of their theoretical predictions and observed high redshift Hubble diagram. In this paper we use a substantially different approach, based on a specific parametrization of the redshift dependent equation of state (EOS) of dark energy component w(z). Our statistical analysis is aimed to estimate the parameters characterizing the dark energy EOS: our results indicate (at > 3 sigma level) an evolving dark energy EOS, while the cosmological constant has a constant EOS, wLambda =-1. This result not only confirms the tension previously detected, but shows that it is not an artifact of cosmographic expansions.
