astroABC : An Approximate Bayesian Computation Sequential Monte Carlo sampler for cosmological parameter estimation

TL;DR: AstroABC as discussed by the authors is an open source ABC sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) sampler for cosmological parameter estimation, which allows for massive parallelization using MPI, a framework that handles spawning of processes across multiple nodes.

The dark side of cosmology: Dark matter and dark energy

TL;DR: Both dark matter and dark energy require extensions to the current understanding of particle physics or point toward a breakdown of general relativity on cosmological scales.

A model for multiproperty galaxy cluster statistics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived closed-form expressions for the space density of halos as a function of multiple observables as well as forms for the low-order moments of properties of observable-selected samples.

A new measurement of the Hubble constant and matter content of the Universe using extragalactic background light $\gamma$-ray attenuation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the Hubble constant and the matter density of the universe using the latest gamma-ray attenuation results from Fermi-LAT and Cherenkov telescopes.

Improving time-delay cosmography with spatially resolved kinematics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used integral field spectrographs to simulate observations of lensed quasars and showed that spatially resolved kinematics of the deflector galaxy enables further progress by helping to break the mass-anisotropy degeneracy.

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.
