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.

Improved spectrophotometric calibration of the sdss-iii boss quasar sample

TL;DR: In this article, a model for spectrophotometric calibration errors in observations of quasars from the third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mind the gap: tightening the mass-richness relation with magnitude gaps

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential to improve optical tracers of cluster mass by exploiting measurements of the magnitude gap, defined as the difference between the r-band absolute magnitude of the two brightest cluster members.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring scalar field dynamics with Gaussian processes

TL;DR: In this article, a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe with non-relativistic matter and a single scalar field contributing to the energy density of the universe is considered.

Weak Lensing by Large-Scale Structure with The FIRST Radio Survey

TL;DR: In this paper, the power spectrum of weak gravitational lensing was measured with the FIRST radio survey, which contains about 400,000 sources over 4,200 square degrees, and thus provides a unique resource for this purpose.

Time-delay cosmographic forecasts with strong lensing and JWST stellar kinematics

TL;DR: In this article, a joint strong lensing and stellar dynamical framework for future time-delay cosmography purposes is presented, which is capable of constraining cosmological distances and hence the current expansion rate of the Universe to a few percent level per lens, when high signal-to-noise integral field unit (IFU) observations from the next generation of telescopes become available.

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.
