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 clustering of the SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey DR14 quasar sample: first measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations between redshift 0.8 and 2.2

Metin Ata, +75 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scale in redshift-space using clustering of quasars was measured using a sample of 147, 000 quaars from the extended Ballyon Oscillations Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) distributed over 2044 square degrees with redshifts 0.8 0 at 6.6s significance.

SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 12: galaxy target selection and large-scale structure catalogues

Beth Reid, +54 more
TL;DR: The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) as discussed by the authors provides the largest survey of galaxy redshifts available to date, in terms of both the number of galaxies measured by a single survey, and the effective cosmological volume covered.

Testing general relativity in cosmology

TL;DR: The review aims at providing an overall picture of the subject and an entry point to students and researchers interested in joining the field and a quick reference to recent results and constraints on testing gravity at cosmological scales.

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.
