TLDR
In this article, the authors present extensive forecasts for constraints on the dark energy equation of state and parameterized deviations from General Relativity, achievable with Stage III and Stage IV experimental programs that incorporate supernovae, BAO, weak lensing, and cosmic microwave background data.

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.

Detection of weak gravitational lensing distortions of distant galaxies by cosmic dark matter at large scales

TL;DR: The detection of cosmic shear on angular scales of up to half a degree is reported using 145,000 galaxies and along three separate lines of sight and it is found that the dark matter is distributed in a manner consistent with either an open universe, or a flat universe that is dominated by a cosmological constant.

Clustering of luminous red galaxies – IV. Baryon acoustic peak in the line-of-sight direction and a direct measurement of H(z)

TL;DR: In this article, a two-point correlation function is estimated as a function of perpendicular σ and line-of-sight π (radial) directions, and significant evidence of a peak along the radial direction whose shape is consistent with its origination from the recombination-epoch baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO).
Journal ArticleDOI

Limits of quintessence.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the simplest particle-physics scalar-field models of dynamical dark energy can be separated into distinct behaviors based on the acceleration or deceleration of the field as it evolves down its potential towards a zero minimum.
Journal ArticleDOI

The age dependence of halo clustering

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a very large simulation of the concordance Λ cold dark matter cosmogony to study the clustering of dark matter haloes, and they found that haloes that assembled at high redshift are substantially more clustered than those that assembled more recently.

Cosmological Constraints from the Clustering of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 Luminous Red Galaxies

TL;DR: In this article, the power spectrum of the reconstructed halo density field derived from a sample of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Seventh Data Release (DR7) was presented.
