Description
The cross correlation between the Cosmic Microwave Background and the Large Scale Structure of the Universe is a powerful probe to test our cosmological models. This correlation can be used to detect the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect, and it depends on both the geometry of the Universe and the properties of the clustering and evolution of structures; for this reason it can be used to test and constrain cosmological models and parameters as well as theories of gravity. In this proceeding we briefly introduce the ISW effect and present some of the recent cosmological tests done using it.
