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.

The Hubble Diagram to Redshift >6 from 69 Gamma-Ray Bursts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed a gamma-ray burst (GRB) HD with 69 GRBs over a redshift range from 0.17 to >6, with half the bursts having a redshifts larger than 1.7.

Residual Gas Motions in the Intracluster Medium and Bias in Hydrostatic Measurements of Mass Profiles of Clusters

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of residual subsonic gas motions on the hydrostatic estimates of mass profiles and concentrations of galaxy clusters and found that the gas motions contribute up to approx 5-15% of the total pressure support in relaxed clusters with contribution increasing with the cluster-centric radius.

CFHTLenS: the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey – imaging data and catalogue products

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present data products from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) data set and demonstrate that their data meet necessary requirements to fully exploit the survey for weak gravitational lensing analyses in connection with photometric redshift studies.

The Ep,i - Eiso correlation in GRBs: updated observational status, re-analysis and main implications

Lorenzo Amati
- 24 Jan 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an update and a re-analysis of the Ep,i - Eiso correlation based on an updated sample consisting of 41 long GRBs/XRFs with firm estimates of z and observed peak energy, Ep,obs, 12 GRBs with uncertain valeus of z, 2 short GRBs, and the peculiar sub-energetic events GRB980425/SN1998bw and GRB031203/SN2003lw.

A 4% Geometric Distance to the Galaxy NGC4258 from Orbital Motions in a Nuclear Gas Disk

TL;DR: The water maser in the mildly active nucleus in the nearby galaxy NGC4258 traces a thin, nearly edge-on, subparsec-scale Keplerian disk.
