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.

DES Y3 results: Blending shear and redshift biases in image simulations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an extensive suite of tailored image simulations to characterize the performance of the shear estimation pipeline applied to the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 dataset, and provided corrected effective redshift distributions that incorporate statistical and systematic uncertainties, ready for use in DES Year 3 weak lensing analyses.

Cluster–galaxy weak lensing

TL;DR: Weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies provides a direct probe of the projected matter distribution in and around galaxy clusters as discussed by the authors, with a focus on cluster mass profiles, the concentration-mass relation, the splashback radius, and implications from extensive mass-calibration efforts for cluster cosmology.

A search for sterile neutrinos with the latest cosmological observations

TL;DR: In this paper, a search for neutrinos with the latest cosmological observations was conducted and the results of neutrino oscillation experiments were reported, which indicated the existence of massless sterile neutrines at the 1.44 ǫ sigma level.

A combined measurement of cosmic growth and expansion from clusters of galaxies, the CMB and galaxy clustering

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine galaxy cluster data from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey and Chandra Xray Observatory, cosmic microwave background data from Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, and galaxy clustering data from WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey, the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III, and test for consistency the cosmic growth of structure predicted by General Relativity (GR) and the cosmic expansion history predicted by the cosmological constant plus cold dark matter paradigm (�CDM).

Cosmology in bimetric theory with an effective composite coupling to matter

TL;DR: In this paper, the cosmology of bimetric theory with a composite matter coupling was studied and conditions on the absence of ghost and gradient instabilities were derived for tensor and vector perturbations.

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.
