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.

Supermassive black holes with high accretion rates in active galactic nuclei. ii. the most luminous standard candles in the universe

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported on five new reverberation mapping (RM) measurements and showed that in four of the cases, they can measure the BH mass and three of these sources are SEAMBHs.

The redMaPPer Galaxy Cluster Catalog From DES Science Verification Data

Eli S. Rykoff, +94 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe updates to the Redmapper{} algorithm, a photometric red-sequence cluster finder specifically designed for large photometric surveys, applied to data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), and to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 photometric data set.

Type II Supernovae as Standardized Candles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence for a correlation between expansion velocities of the ejecta of Type II plateau supernovae and their bolometric luminosities during the plateau phase.

An algorithm to build mock galaxy catalogues using MICE simulations

TL;DR: In this article, a method to build mock galaxy catalogues starting from a halo cat-alogue that uses halo occupation distribution (HOD) recipes as well as the sub-halo abundance matching (SHAM) technique is presented.

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.
