The Core Cosmology Library (CCL) provides routines to compute basic cosmological observables to a high degree of accuracy, which have been verified with an extensive suite of validation tests. Predictions are provided for many cosmological quantities, including distances, angular power spectra, correlation functions, halo bias and the halo mass function through state-of-the-art modeling prescriptions available in the literature. Fiducial specifications for the expected galaxy distributions for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) are also included, together with the capability of computing redshift distributions for a user-defined photometric redshift model. A rigorous validation procedure, based on comparisons between CCL and independent software packages, allows us to establish a well-defined numerical accuracy for each predicted quantity. As a result, predictions for correlation functions of galaxy clustering, galaxy-galaxy lensing and cosmic shear are demonstrated to be within a fraction of the expected statistical uncertainty of the observables for the models and in the range of scales of interest to LSST. CCL is an open source software package written in C, with a python interface and publicly available at https://github.com/LSSTDESC/CCL.

Primordial Physics in the Nonlinear Universe: Revealing the oscillating halo bias from cosmological collider models
A binning-based IC method yields the first N-body measurements of oscillating halo bias from cosmological collider bispectra, with mass- and assembly-dependent phases fit by peak-background-split theory.

Analytical covariances for catalogue-based pseudo-$C_\ell$s
A new analytic method computes disconnected covariance matrices for catalogue-based pseudo-Cℓ power spectra by smoothing source positions and treating self-pair shot noise exactly.

Emulating the nonlinear effects of modified gravity on the matter power spectrum for reconstruction
A neural-network emulator predicts the ratio of nonlinear to linear modified-gravity matter power spectra across a 28-dimensional cosmological and MG parameter space, matching MGCAMB+ReACT to roughly 1–2%.

Cosmic Pairs: A DESI Census of Dual and Offset AGN as Precursors to Massive Black Hole Binaries
DESI DR1 spectroscopy yields >7,000 candidate dual-AGN pairs, expanding the known kpc-scale census by ~4x and linking host-galaxy demographics to LISA-detectable massive black hole mergers.

Simulation-Based Priors for HI Bias from Halo Occupation Physics
A conditional normalizing flow learned from two simulation suites maps HI halo-occupation parameters to EFT bias parameters, producing correlated non-Gaussian priors that are much tighter than flat priors for 21 cm analyses.

Assessing the large-scale angular clustering of UNIONS Lyman Break Galaxies via cross-correlations
UNIONS Lyman-break galaxy auto-clustering is unusable at large scales due to imaging systematics, but LBG x CMB-lensing and LBG x quasar cross-spectra are measured robustly, with amplitudes consistent with predictions.

Impact and measurability of linear relativistic effects in galaxy surveys
Neglecting linear GR effects biases f_NL at 1–3σ for Euclid/SPHEREx in SFB forecasts; multi-tracer improves Doppler detection and weakly breaks b_ϕ f_NL degeneracy.

KiDS-Legacy: The consistency test of the large-scale structure with Bernardeau-Nishimichi-Taruya transform
BNT k-cuts on KiDS-Legacy give S8=0.798±0.045 (theory covariance) with no nonlinear bias, while observed-data covariance produces a mild low-k preference for lower S8.

Baryonification II: Constraining feedback with X-ray and kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich observations
ACT kSZ and eROSITA gas fractions are mutually consistent in a baryonification fit and imply strong feedback, with predicted matter power suppression reaching 20-25 percent at k=5 h/Mpc.

Forecasting the E_G measurements from the photometric and spectroscopic surveys of Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope (CSST)
CSST forecasts E_G to 3–9% over 0<z<1.2, with the modified-gravity parameter Σ0 constrained to ~5% if β errors follow an assumed external forecast.

High-redshift transverse BAO measurements with the SDSS quasar catalog
A transverse-BAO angular diameter distance at z≈1.725 is claimed from SDSS DR16 quasars, but the abstract (two shells: θ_BAO=1.911°±0.062° and 1.727°±0.081°, 3.4σ/3.0σ) contradicts the body (one shell: θ_BAO=1.928°±0....

Low-redshift constraints on structure growth from CMB lensing tomography
Low-redshift galaxy clustering and CMB lensing tomography with hybrid effective field theory gives S8=0.79±0.06, consistent with Planck, while data alone prefer Ωm=0.245±0.024.

Is $\omega_0 \omega_a$CDM a good model for the clumpy Universe?
Against a Gaussian-process reconstruction of 15 sigma8(z) measurements, the DESI w0waCDM model fits slightly better than LambdaCDM, but the difference is tiny and the comparison metric is biased.
