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.

An all sky analysis of polarization in the microwave background

TL;DR: In this paper, a spin-weighted analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is presented, where linear polarization is a second-rank symmetric and traceless tensor, which can be decomposed on a sphere into spin $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2$ spherical harmonics.

Cosmological Parameters from Observations of Galaxy Clusters

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review current cosmological results obtained from observations of galaxy clusters and highlight several areas of opportunity for the next few years, and emphasize the need for accurate modeling of survey selection and sources of systematic error.

The Mass Function of an X-Ray Flux-Limited Sample of Galaxy Clusters

TL;DR: In this article, a new X-ray-selected and Xray flux-limited galaxy cluster sample is presented, based on the ROSAT All-Sky Survey, the 63 brightest clusters with galactic latitude |bII|? 20? and flux fX(0.1-2.4keV)? 2? 10-11ergss-1cm-2 have been determined utilizing intracluster gas density profiles, derived mainly from ROSAT PSPC pointed observations, and gas temperatures, as published mainly from ASCA observations.
Journal ArticleDOI

An evolution free test for non-zero cosmological constant

TL;DR: In this article, a cosmological test that is a sensitive estimator of Λ is proposed, which involves no correction for evolutionary effects and hints at the statistical problem that its realisation entails.
