TLDR
In this article, the authors present extensive forecasts for constraints on the dark energy equation of state and parameterized deviations from General Relativity, achievable with Stage III and Stage IV experimental programs that incorporate supernovae, BAO, weak lensing, and cosmic microwave background data.

The RedMaPPer Galaxy Cluster Catalog From DES Science Verification Data

Eli S. Rykoff, +94 more
TL;DR: The redMaPPer algorithm as discussed by the authors was applied to 150 deg(2) of Science Verification (SV) data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), and to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 photometric data set.

The intrinsic alignment of galaxies and its impact on weak gravitational lensing in an era of precision cosmology

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the state of the art on the intrinsic alignment of galaxies, with a particular emphasis on its large-scale impact on weak lensing measurements and methods for its isolation or mitigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Holographic dark energy

TL;DR: In this paper, a holographic dark energy (HDE) model is proposed, in which the future event horizon is chosen as the characteristic length scale and the theoretical explorations and the observational constraints for this model are discussed.

The relationship between infrared, optical, and ultraviolet extinction

TL;DR: In this article, the average extinction law over the 3.5 micron to 0.125 wavelength range was derived for both diffuse and dense regions of the interstellar medium. And the validity of the law over a large wavelength interval suggests that the processes which modify the sizes and compositions of grains are stochastic in nature.
