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 effective theory of fluids at NLO and implications for dark energy

TL;DR: In this article, an effective theory of fluids at next-to-leading order in derivatives, including an operator that has not been considered until now, is presented, and the power-counting scheme and its connection with the propagation of phonon and metric fluctuations are emphasized.

Past and future of some universes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a class of toy models where a spatially flat universe is filled with a perfect fluid and find that the perfect fluid is of the phantom type and the universe is first contracting and then expanding while the dynamics is always accelerated.

Lethal radiation from nearby supernovae helps to explain the small cosmological constant

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate the probability distribution of the cosmological constant Lambda$ using a model of galaxy formation, considering extinction of observers caused by radiation from nearby supernovae, and find that life survival probability decreases in a large $\Lambda$ universe because of higher stellar density.

A framework for measuring weak-lensing magnification using the Fundamental Plane

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a formalism for using the fundamental plane residuals of elliptical galaxies to estimate the foreground mass and background redshift errors for a stacked lens scenario.

Time variation of the equation of state for dark energy

TL;DR: In this paper, the second derivative of the equation of state (wQ) for the dark energy is analyzed by the current values of the parameters Ω======Q, wQ and their time derivatives.

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.
