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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Type Ia Supernova Light Curve Inference: Hierarchical Bayesian Analysis in the Near Infrared

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical Bayesian framework is proposed for the analysis of Type Ia supernova light curves in the near-infrared using recent data from Peters Automated InfraRed Imaging TELescope and the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Baryon oscillations as a cosmological probe

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the utility of measuring the rate of expansion at various epochs, both alone and in combination with distance measurements, and discussed the addition of this data from a next generation galaxy redshift survey such as KAOS to precision distance information from the next generation supernova surveys such as SNAP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calibrating the baryon oscillation ruler for matter and halos

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize the nonlinear evolution of the baryon acoustic feature as traced by the dark matter and halos, using a combination of perturbation theory and $N$-body simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Galaxy clusters identified from the SDSS DR6 and their properties

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained the richness, the summed luminosity, and the gross galaxy number within the determined radius for identified clusters, which are tightly related to the X-ray luminosity and temperature of clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of inhomogeneities on the luminosity distance-redshift relation: Is dark energy necessary in a perturbed universe?

TL;DR: In this article, the luminosity distance-redshift relation in a perturbed flat matter-dominated universe is computed, taking into account the presence of cosmological inhomogeneities up to second order in perturbation theory.
