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.

Planck intermediate results - III. The relation between galaxy cluster mass and Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal

Peter A. R. Ade, +226 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relation between the galaxy cluster mass M and Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect signal {DA2} Y500 for a sample of 19 objects for which weak lensing (WL) mass measurements obtained from Subaru Telescope data are available in the literature.

The non-Gaussian halo mass function with fNL, gNL and τNL

TL;DR: In this paper, a new analytic form for the halo mass function in the presence of primordial non-Gaussianity, the ''log-Edgeworth'' mass function, was introduced.

Masses of rich clusters of galaxies as a test of the biased cold dark matter theory

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the suite of constraints needed to test the ability of the biased cold dark matter theory to account for the mass concentrations observed in rich clusters of galaxies is presented.

The Carnegie Hubble Program: The Leavitt Law at 3.6 μm and 4.5 μm in the large Magellanic cloud

TL;DR: The Carnegie Hubble Program is designed to improve the extragalactic distance scale using data from the post-cryogenic era of Spitzer, and the ultimate goal is a determination of the Hubble constant to an accuracy of 2% as discussed by the authors.

The Carnegie Hubble Program: The Leavitt Law at 3.6 \mu m and 4.5 \mu m in the Large Magellanic Cloud

TL;DR: In this paper, period-luminosity and period-color relations are presented for 85 LMC Cepheids, having periods between 6 and 140 days, and the cyclical variation of the [3.6]-[4.5] color is measured for the first time.
