Four papers that mark key steps in my work—from extracting cosmology from the Lyman-α forest to understanding how galaxies and intergalactic gas trace matter.

Lyman-α cosmologyJCAP
J. Chaves-Montero, A. Font-Ribera, P. McDonald et al.
The first cosmological interpretation of DESI DR1 small-scale forest measurements using a hydrodynamical-simulation emulator, with constraints on the primordial matter spectrum, relativistic species, and spectral running.

Galaxy–halo connectionMNRAS
Jonás Chaves-Montero, Raúl E. Angulo, Sergio Contreras
This work shows that the apparent clustering–lensing discrepancy arises from neglected galaxy-formation effects—including assembly bias, satellite segregation, and baryonic changes to matter—rather than requiring a failure of ΛCDM.

Missing baryonsMNRAS
Jonás Chaves-Montero, Carlos Hernández-Monteagudo, Raúl E. Angulo, J. D. Emberson
Angular-redshift-fluctuation–kSZ tomography yields an 11σ detection across most of cosmic history and indicates that diffuse gas outside halos accounts for roughly half of the cosmic baryon budget.

Galaxy–halo connectionMNRAS
Jonás Chaves-Montero, Raúl E. Angulo, Joop Schaye et al.
A direct test of subhalo abundance matching in EAGLE identifies Vrelax as the best stellar-mass proxy and quantifies how galaxy assembly bias changes clustering beyond halo mass alone.
