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 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).

$f(R,T)$ 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.

Equation of state of the photoionized intergalactic medium

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of reionization history on the temperature-density relation of the intergalactic medium in the low density limit (overdensity less than 5) were investigated.

Cosmology with ultralight pseudo nambu-goldstone bosons

TL;DR: A cosmological implications of an ultralight pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson is explored, which can reconcile dynamical estimates of the density parameter, ${\ensuremath{\Omega}}_{m}\ensure Math{\simeq}1}0.2$ with a spatially flat universe, consistent with limits from gravitational lens statistics.

First-Year Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Results: Hubble Diagram and Cosmological Parameters

Richard Kessler, +52 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present measurements of the Hubble diagram for 103 Type Ia supernovae with redshifts 0.04 < z < 0.42, discovered during the first season (Fall 2005) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Survey.

Measuring the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation scale using the SDSS and 2dFGRS

TL;DR: In this article, a method to constrain general cosmological models using Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) distance measurements from galaxy samples covering different redshift ranges is introduced.

1/R gravity and scalar-tensor gravity

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that extended gravity theories, the Lagrangian of which is an arbitrary function of scalar curvature R, are equivalent to a class of the scalar-tensor theories of gravity.
