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.

Angular Baryon Acoustic Oscillation measure at z=2.225 from the SDSS quasar survey

TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-model-independent approach was used to measure the transversal BAO mode at high redshift using the two-point angular correlation function (2PACF).

Cosmological applications of Padé approximant

TL;DR: The Pade approximant is the best approximation of a function by a rational function of given order as discussed by the authors, and the Pade approximation often gives better approximation of the function than truncating its Taylor series, and may still work where the Taylor series does not converge.

The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Constraining modified gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use baryon acoustic oscillations and redshift space distortion from the completed Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, corresponding to data release 12 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, combined sample analysis in combination with cosmic microwave background, supernova and redshifted space distortion measurements from additional spectroscopic surveys to test deviations from general relativity.

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.
