LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Željko Ivezić, +312 more
- 15 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: The LSST design is driven by four main science themes: probing dark energy and dark matter, taking an inventory of the solar system, exploring the transient optical sky, and mapping the Milky Way.

The clustering of galaxies in the sdss-iii baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey: Baryon acoustic oscillations in the data release 9 spectroscopic galaxy sample

Lauren Anderson, +76 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a measurement of the cosmic distance scale from detections of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III).

$f(R,T)$ gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a modified theory of gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar and of the trace of the stress-energy tensor.

Redshifting rings of power

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore how future surveys can exploit these rings of power for dark energy studies, and find that the expected constraints are at the $\ensuremath{\sigma}(w)=0.04--0.08$ level, comparable to those of galaxies and complementary in redshift coverage.

Current constraints on the cosmic growth history

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present constraints on the cosmic growth history with recent cosmological data, allowing for deviations from the CMB growth history, as might arise if cosmic acceleration is due to modifications to general relativity or inhomogeneous dark energy, and they find that these late-time modifications can provide an interesting signature by which to search for modified growth histories with future wide angular coverage, large scale structure surveys.

First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Observations: Dark Energy Induced Correlation with Radio Sources

TL;DR: In this paper, the first-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data, in combination with any one of a number of other cosmic probes, show that we live in a flat Λ-dominated cold dark matter (CDM) universe with Ωm ≈ 0.28, h = 0.33, and no dark energy component (ΩΛ = 0) would produce an anticorrelation between the matter distribution and the CMB.

Differentiating between modified gravity and dark energy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive the modified gravitational force law necessary to generate any given cosmology, without reference to the fundamental theory, revealing modifications of gravity at scales typically much smaller than today's horizon, and discuss how, through these modifications, the growth of density perturbations, the late-time integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect, and even solar-system measurements may be sensitive to whether today's cosmic acceleration is generated by dark energy or modified gravitational dynamics.
