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.

The removal of shear-ellipticity correlations from the cosmic shear signal - Influence of photometric redshift errors on the nulling technique

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a nulling technique that downweights this systematic, only making use of its well-known redshift dependence, and they assessed the practicability of nulling, given realistic conditions on photometric redshift information.

Observational Evidence of the Accelerated Expansion of the Universe

TL;DR: The discovery of cosmic acceleration is one of the most important developments in modern cosmology as discussed by the authors, and various observational evidences, most of them gathered in the last decade, and the improvements expected from projects currently collecting data or in preparation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theoretical uncertainty in baryon oscillations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the systematic uncertainties in the recovery of dark energy properties from the use of baryon acoustic oscillations as a standard ruler and demonstrate that while unknown relativistic components in the universe prior to recombination would alter the sound speed, the inferences for dark energy from low-redshift surveys are unchanged so long as the microwave background anisotropies can measure the redshift of matter-radiation equality.

Weak Lensing Determination of the Mass in Galaxy Halos

CMB Lensing Constraints on Neutrinos and Dark Energy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the constraints that Planck, PolarBear, and CMBpol future data, including from the B-mode polarization or the lensing potential, will place on these quantities.
