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 completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmological analysis of the DR12 galaxy sample

Shadab Alam, +90 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present cosmological results from the final galaxy clustering data set of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III.

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).
Journal ArticleDOI

$f(R,T)$ 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.

Robust Optical Richness Estimation with Reduced Scatter

TL;DR: In this paper, various modifications to the red-sequence-matched filter richness estimator of Rozo et al. were implemented on the maxBCG cluster catalog and evaluated the impact of these changes on the scatter in X-ray luminosity (L{sub X} ) at fixed richness, using the ROSAT All-Sky Catalog as the best mass proxy available for the large area required.

Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations in Simulated Galaxy Redshift Surveys

TL;DR: In this article, the robustness of baryonic peaks against nonlinearity, redshift distortions, and mild biases within the linear and quasi-linear regime at various redshifts is investigated.

The ROSAT all-sky survey bright source catalogue

TL;DR: In this paper, an automatic and visual screening procedure was applied to 1378 survey fields to ensure the quality of the source catalogue derived from the SASS processing, and most (94%) of the 18,811 sources were confirmed by this screening process.

Self-Calibration of Cluster Dark Energy Studies: Observable-Mass Distribution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the sensitivity of cluster number counts to the properties of the dark energy implies a comparable sensitivity to not only the mean but also the actual distribution of an observable-mass proxy given the true cluster mass.
