Physical models for the hemispherical power asymmetry in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) reported by the Planck Collaboration must satisfy CMB constraints to the homogeneity of the Universe and quasar constraints to power asymmetries. We survey a variety of models for the power asymmetry and show that consistent models include a modulated scale-dependent isocurvature contribution to the matter power spectrum or a modulation of the reionization optical depth, gravitational-wave amplitude, or scalar spectral index. We propose further tests to distinguish between the different scenarios.

  1. Constraining Scale-Dependent Growth in $f(R)$ Gravity with Future 21 cm Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Forecasts show that future 21 cm surveys can deliver moderate constraints on the scale-dependent growth index and HI bias in viable f(R) models.
